Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Big Year With @theweenuthatch
Q: Have you come across many other birders on your trip so far?
I found that while birding is popular in Western countries, in many others it's approached more as a way to earn a living as a guide for tourists.
A Big Year With @theweenuthatch
Q: Are there any particular bird species you're wanting to see on your trip?
I established a top 10 list, including species like the blue rock thrush, Andean condor, and the kiwi.

Q: Can you tell us a bit more about your birding philosophy?
I prioritize the habitats over tracking one specific bird species and focus on understanding their place in the ecosystem.
