New Tour: Peru’s Marvelous Spatuletail and Long-whiskered Owlet

We’re greatly excited to announce a new tour to Northern Peru with Gary Rosenberg. The tour will spend several days at the newly built and comfortable eco-lodge at Abra Patricia–which just happens to be one of two sites in the world for the mysterious little Long-whiskered Owlet. With the help of a knowledgeable local guide, we’ll also visit the town of Florida to look for what is easily the most spectacular of all of South America’s spectacular hummingbirds, the Marvelous Spatuletail.

Many other endemics and near-endemics, along with a dazzling variety of Tangara tanagers (some 20 species!) also call this remote and beautiful area of South America home.
