Dressed for birding!

This is what I look like when I go birding or guiding. Top-of-the-line binoculars, tape-recorder and two iPods loaded with birdsounds from South America.
My camera equipment is a Canon 7D with a 100-400 mm zoom.
If I drive I use my own Nissan Pathfinder 2003 as some roads in Ecuador are in pretty bad shape.
I also have a significant number of recordings, mostly from Ecuador and Peru, and over 700 are uploaded on the excellent Xeno-canto website for free use. www.xeno-canto.org
My contact info is: Juan de Illanez, edificio Double Diamond, Urb Jardines del Batan, Quito, Ecuador

Hej!
Konstigt nog har jag inte kollat dina göranden i Sydamerika på länge. Vilka läckra bilder du får, måste planera något i Anderna efter Alaska (m Mathias m fl) och Brazil (m Lori m fl) i sommar. Kör hårt Roger.

Tjenare Roger
Länge sen sist:-) Fantastiska gallerier du har.... Man blir grön av avund!
Får se till att komma över och plåta lite på den sidan av Atlanten också! Den kontinenten är en vit fläck på min karta! Jag skulle nog bli heltokig där borta ;-)
Ser att du också kör Nikon-utrustning. Har precis skaffat en D3:a + 300/2.8 vilket är en trevlig kombo. Lite tyngre men otrolig prestanda och med fantastiska möjligheter att plåta i dåliga ljusförhållanden. Nått för dig kan jag tänka.

Ha det bra (du får väl stå ut med att "bara ha" Tanagers och Kolibrier)

Hi Roger, I was looking at the Wild Sumaco site to see my image of the Coppery-chested Jacamar that Bonnie had added. I love birdwatching but I really get charged up about taking photos. I saw your name on a few photos and so I typed it in and came to your site.You have some terrific photos! I see that you have a Nikon and I have a Canon..just sold my 20D to buy a 40D as it is quieter and has a better spot focus. I have the 100-400 IS and had thought about the 300 f4 but opted for the 70-200 f4 IS as my back up lense. I also like to take photos of the landscape on our birding trips so it would work better (I also have a Nissan 02)
My husband, Paul Prevett and I were birding with Charlie last Nov. on both slopes around Quito. We had a great time.
Most of my photos find their way into my external hard drives and I then use them for reference for what ever paintings I do of wildlife. I wish I had more time for photography but I am addicted to paint.
Enjoy your birding in Ecuador. We sure did.
