点评:We had an amazing day with Nando and Ismael, perhaps the best of our entire trip! Nando’s talent for finding and identifying birds is remarkable, and even for interpreting habitat and behavior to predict where birds and even their nests will be, like second nature. He is easily one of the most talented guides I have birded with anywhere. And his son Ismael is almost just as good as his father already! They were also kind and patient and all-around great people who were a pleasure to spend the day with. We saw countless lifers, multiple target species and then some, and even got some great cellphone photos through the scope. An outstanding day!!
The thing I respected and appreciated most about Nando and Ismael that puts them leagues above many of the other (also talented) bird guides we have had, is their ethical style of guiding. They were conservative and thoughtful with their use of audio playbacks, sensitive to the fact that over-exposure to playbacks can negatively impact the birds, especially for species that are trying to nest and raise young. We got incredible looks at more species than we had even hoped for, but without any compromise to the well-being of the birds we were trying to observe. That’s the best kind of birding experience there is!
翻译:我们和 Nando 和 Ismael 度过了美好的一天,这或许是我们整个旅程中最美好的一天!Nando 发现和识别鸟类的天赋非凡,他甚至能通过解读鸟类的栖息地和行为来预测鸟类及其筑巢的位置,这简直是他的第二天性。他无疑是我观鸟过程中遇到的最有才华的导游之一。他的儿子 Ismael 几乎和他父亲一样优秀!他们非常善良、耐心,是各方面都很棒的人,和他们一起度过的一天非常愉快。我们看到了无数的鸟类,多种目标物种,甚至更多,甚至还用望远镜拍了一些很棒的手机照片。真是精彩的一天!!
Nando 和 Ismael 最让我敬佩和欣赏的一点,是他们高出我们遇到的其他许多(同样才华横溢的)观鸟导游的水平,那就是他们严谨的导览作风。他们在使用音频播放方面非常谨慎和周到,他们意识到过度播放音频会对鸟类产生负面影响,尤其是对那些正在筑巢和育儿的鸟类。我们观察到的物种数量远超预期,而且丝毫没有损害我们试图观察的鸟类的健康。这真是最棒的观鸟体验!
