点评:We did a full-day private tour of Point Reyes with Daniel and had a great time. He knows the area and its wildlife incredibly well, especially where the bobcats tend to hang out and how to read their behavior.
He helped us find a coyote family, which we could hear nearby and eventually see from a distance, and explained how to tell when they were hunting rodents. He also led us to two bobcats and taught us how to track them and anticipate where they might go.
Daniel knows a ton about the local birds too. He went trekking through tall grass looking for a great horned owl for us, earning himself a few ticks in the process. Later, he spotted one sitting on a telephone pole that we absolutely would have missed on our own.
He’s also really passionate about conservation and taught us a lot about the work being done at Point Reyes. He provided binoculars, water, and snacks, and even offered to stay out longer near sunset to look for more bobcats. We would have, but we had to make it back for dinner before the last place in town closed.
Daniel was knowledgeable, friendly, and very generous with his time. We saw and learned far more than we would have on our own. Highly recommended for anyone interested in wildlife, birding, or photography.
翻译:我们和丹尼尔一起安排了为期一天的斑点鹰角私人导览之旅,玩得非常开心。他对这一地区及其野生动物了如指掌,尤其清楚山猫常出没的地点以及如何观察它们的行为。
他帮我们找到了一群郊狼——我们能听到它们在附近活动,最终也从远处看到了它们。他还向我们解释了如何判断它们是否在捕食啮齿类动物。此外,他还带我们见到了两只山猫,并教会我们如何追踪它们的行踪、预测它们可能会去的方向。丹尼尔对当地的鸟类也相当了解。他曾在高高的草丛中艰难穿行,为我们寻找大角鸮,结果身上还被蜱虫咬了好几处。后来,他发现一只大角鸮正停在电线杆上——要是没有他,我们绝对会发现不了。
他同样热衷于环保事业,还向我们介绍了许多在皮特雷斯角地区开展的环保工作。他为我们准备了双筒望远镜、水和零食,甚至主动提出在日落之后继续留在户外,帮我们寻找更多的短尾猫。我们本想这么做的,但必须在镇上最后一家店关门之前赶回去吃晚饭。
丹尼尔知识渊博、待人友好,还非常乐于花时间帮助我们。我们所看到和学到的东西远远比独自探索时要多得多。对于任何对野生动物、观鸟或摄影感兴趣的人而言,他都是极佳的选择。
