点评:We first met Cornelio Ramos Gabriel 7 years ago when we hired him for two days of birding. We have never forgotten his skill.
Exceptional. Absolutely 10 out of 10! He was enthusiastic, focused, intelligent, and kind. A fantastic guide who was genuinely keen to teach us and to show us everything, and more!
So returning this year, we scheduled more time, and he offered to take us into the high mountains for a 2-day overnight. Cornelio arranged everything, and it worked perfectly. He was easy to communicate with to reserve the dates, and was always punctual. He brought drinks and snacks and made sure we had some nice restaurant meals.
On the way up to altitude, we made numerous stops, where Cornelio was like a human Merlin App, often first identifying a bird by sound, and then hunting it down until we got a good visual, often using his high-powered scope. He was able to digi-scope many of our sightings using my phone and his scope.
We saw many exciting endemics and lifers, with our total bird list of over 100.
Cornelio counted many more on his eBird list, of course, because we did not count birds that we were not 100% sure of.
We even finished off in the evening of our overnight with the endemic Mexican whip-poor-will and a Mottled owl. They were in the pines in front of our forest cabin, under a full moon. We could easily see them under the light of our headlamps.
The cabana was simple but comfortable, with a hot shower and lovely fireplace to take off the chill.
Cornelio is worth every penny. His incredible field skills are only possible with decades of dedicated and focused attention. He is a true professional.
We have birdwatched with guides on all 7 continents and we can honestly say that Cornelio ranks amongst the best!
Book him now, you will not be disappointed. But we have him for this Thursday, so you are out of luck then!
翻译:我们第一次见到 Cornelio Ramos Gabriel 是在 7 年前,当时我们雇他来观鸟两天。我们从未忘记他的技能。
非常出色。绝对满分!他热情、专注、聪明、善良。他是一位出色的导游,真心希望教我们,向我们展示一切,甚至更多!
所以今年回来时,我们安排了更多时间,他提出带我们去高山过夜两天。Cornelio 安排好了一切,一切都很完美。他很容易沟通,可以预约日期,而且总是准时。他带来了饮料和零食,确保我们在餐厅吃到美味的饭菜。
在爬升到高海拔的途中,我们多次停下来,Cornelio 就像一个人类的梅林应用程序,经常先通过声音识别鸟类,然后追捕它,直到我们获得良好的视觉效果,经常使用他的高倍望远镜。他能够使用我的手机和他的望远镜通过数字望远镜观察我们的许多目击事件。
我们看到了许多令人兴奋的当地特有鸟类和终身鸟类,我们的鸟类总名单超过 100 种。
Cornelio 在他的 eBird 名单上当然还统计了更多鸟类,因为我们没有统计那些我们不确定的鸟类。
我们甚至在晚上还看到了当地特有的墨西哥夜鹰和一只斑驳猫头鹰。它们在我们森林小屋前面的松树上,在满月的月光下。我们可以在头灯的照射下轻松看到它们。
小屋简单但舒适,有热水淋浴和可爱的壁炉来驱散寒意。
Cornelio 物有所值。他令人难以置信的野外技能只有数十年的专注和专注才能实现。他是一个真正的专业人士。
我们在七大洲的导游陪同下观鸟,我们可以诚实地说 Cornelio 是最好的之一!
现在就预订他,你不会失望的。但是我们这个星期四有他的,所以你运气不好!
