Eastern Venezuela 2007

This was an amazing trip that five of us (Chris Sloan, Mike Todd, Clyde Blum, Melinda Welton, and John Noel) made to eastern Venezuela in January 2007. We were there for two weeks, with the extraordinary (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word) services of David Ascanio as our guide. To say that the trip vastly exceeded our expectations would be a gross understatement. The photos speak for themselves. Heck, we have a whole gallery of photos of the Harpy Eagle, because, well, it's a Harpy freakin' Eagle!

If you want to read a detailed narrative trip report and see a full list of the approximately 550! bird species we encountered, click here (not active yet).

Note that this gallery includes some photos taken by Mike Todd and Clyde Blum which are posted here with their permission.

Hello, I'm the webmaster of the website www.ornithomedia.com, and we'd like to publish a short article about the discovery of a new Species of Spinetail in the Orinoco delta: would it possible to use your photo of this Unnamed Spinetail? Naturally, we would credit it and link your gallery. Regards David Bismuth
