点评:Our first day in Oaxaca we did a bird tour with Roque, he picked us up at 0600 on time and drove us towards the Benito Juárez trail. We started in the lower areas and the variety of birds was mine boggling. We stood still for 30 minutes and the different birds that popped up and went about their day was unbelievable.
As others have said, Roque's knowledge of the landscape, birds (sound and sight) and Oaxaca/Mexico makes him a well rounded guide for the day. Most of all he is flexible, my partner and I were particularly interested in photography and he was great advising where the good windows were.
We had an early lunch which was delicious, and headed up in to the Highlands across some of the ridges. We had a great encounter with a red warbler which was beautiful. Roque was really good at seeing when there was little bird activity and choosing when to move on.
Bizarrely, we did come across a snake (albeit a tiny one), even Roque wasn't too keen on getting close.
Overall, a great experience and a thoroughly productive 9-hour experience, I photographed 32 species and there were a few more I couldn't capture (some erratic hummingbirds remained elusive).
翻译:我们在瓦哈卡的第一天参加了Roque的观鸟之旅。他早上6点准时来接我们,然后开车送我们前往贝尼托·胡亚雷斯步道。我们从地势较低的地区出发,种类繁多的鸟类让我叹为观止。我们静静地停留了30分钟,各种鸟儿突然出现,开始它们的一天,真是令人难以置信。
正如其他人所说,Roque对当地景观、鸟类(包括声音和视觉)以及瓦哈卡/墨西哥的了解,使他成为当天的全能导游。最重要的是,他很灵活,我和我的同伴都对摄影特别感兴趣,他非常乐于指导我们哪里是最佳的观鸟窗口。
我们早早吃了一顿美味的午餐,然后翻越一些山脊前往高地。我们与一只美丽的红莺邂逅。Roque非常擅长观察鸟类活动较少的时机,并判断何时应该离开。
奇怪的是,我们竟然碰见了一条蛇(虽然很小),就连罗克也不太想靠近。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验,也是一次非常有收获的9小时拍摄经历。我拍摄了32种蛇,但也有一些没能捕捉到(有些古怪的蜂鸟仍然难以捉摸)。
