Great work. I encourage you to achieve an useful Peruvian Birds Guide Web by adding both comments and other photographers pics. Thanks a lot! Muy buenas fotos. Te propongo que a�adas textos sobre la biolog�a y distribuci�n de esas aves y que aceptes im�genes de otros fot�grafos para conseguir una web completa sobre la interesante avifauna peruana. Best, Juan

What amazing photographs. Makes mine look very amateruish!! Want to find name of aa green/blue/red breasted bird with short beak we saw in Manu Wildlife Park, but no luck on your site.

Stunning gallery!

A group of 4 of us were in the Lima area, along the coast, into the Andes, and near the Amazon Basin (Villa Rica) in October and we are just now trying to identify all of the birds via various field guides and sites such as yours. We are still at a loss with many, but who knows, we may have discovered new species? Thanks for the great shots and your collection was helpful in helping me identify the West-Peruvian Dove.

fantastic pictures Robert, we just came back from peru, lots of good memories of the many birds we did see. Regards Rob.

In the high lands of Puno provincia de Melgar, I have seen ground doves with golden dot on the wins; we used to call them as "�li doradas" have you seen them?

Good job! I live in Lima and really enjoy watching the birds in our park across the street as well as those down at the ocean. Thanks for sharing your "catch" with all of us who enjoy God's beautiful Creation!

I think you MUST publish the national bird of Peru which is the Cock of the Rocks (Rupicola Peruviana)

Beautiful shots; I'm leaving for Peru on June 9th, Im taking a 1 D Mark ll, 300 F 2.8 ISL and a doubler. I'm concerned about geting through customs. Ive read (Moon Handbook) that they will ask for a bond of 25% of the value of my camera gear. What is you're experience with Peruvian Customs and Camera gear? Regards Bill Hopson

Hi Robert I have been checking out your gallery again and some of the comments made since the Iquitos trip we did together last year. I still remember how we basically had finished birding for the night - after a night walk in vain at Explorarma to try to find Nocturnal Currasow - and were drinking a few beers and were just to finish the birdlist to go to bed, when the canopy walkway caretaker/guard comes rushing in telling us that the Nocturnal Curassows were calling close to the trail - and sitting on an open perch. All of a sudden we could non be more awake and active. That shot may not be the sharpest . but it does have one of the best stories behind it. Hopefully, you can get some more great shots during our North Peru/South Ecuador trip in February. Saludos Gunnar Birding Peru with Kolibri Expeditions www.kolibriexpeditions.com More Birds!

Congratulations for your beautiful pictures. I am amazed for the beautiful birds that my country has.

Intersante la relaci�n de aves del Peru, seria de mucha utilidad si pudieran agregar aves de los Humedales costeros (Pantanos de Villa, Humedales de Ventanilla, Laguna Medio Mundo) los felicito por esta presentaci�n

Dear Robert: After a year, recenly i font your page, and only congratulation. Maybe If I spent all my life in 35 year in Peru, never could take all these photos. If it is posible to translate into Spanish. Write to me: cmaguinal_bc@unmsm.edu.pe Hola Robert: Felicitaciones por tu pagina de fotos de aves del Peru, tuviste un viaje muy exitoso, yo aun viviendo 35 a�os no he podido tomar fotos como tu. Escribanme los que esten interesados en que este este sitio traducido al Espa�ol. cmaguinal_bc@unmsm.edu.pe

I am headed to Peru in two days and have perused your website hoping that I will see some of these birds and remember having seen them on your site so that I can return and find out what they are called. Unfortunate for an avid birder to be traveling to Peru without a field guide or much time to actually go birding, but it will be enjoyable nonetheless. Thanks for sharing your fabulous photos - my husband is a birder and pbase user too: www.pbase.com/ebond/birds.

Really amazing such sharp and beautiful pictures. Recently we came back from a trip to Manu Bioreserve in Peru, and we know how difficult it is to make pictures of birds. Our compliments! Sandra & Leon, The Netherlands

Robert...some great shots here ...love the Burrowing Owls and CactusCanastero ..especially the one perched on the cactus! I've book marked the site I might want to use a shot to illustrate my tale...will acknowledge I'll ask perm too!! Cheers!! Eagle

Robert My son Benito(13), a birdwatcher and bird illustrator since he was 6, called my attention about this wonderful site with incredible bird photographs. We are chileans, and some of the resident birds from Per�, are also residents or visitors here in Chile. Maybe if there is time and resources you could continue your excellent work with the rest of the Andean birds. Congratulations. Rafael Rosende Santiago de Chile July 27, 2005

Pablo Miranda		29-Jun-2005 17:17
Great photographies, I think it would be good a short description about bird habitats and feeding habits. It would be good also, to have more pictures on Peruvian brids since we have much more than that.. Congratulations!!!
