Tweeters,

I received the following inquiry from a gentleman from Colombia who will
arrive in Seattle May 25 and leave May 30 for the Russian Far East on a
Victor Emanuel Nature Tour. If you can assist Walter Mankel with
birding excursions please contact him directly at :

wamacol at latino.net.co

Walter does not drive.

I'm 55 years old, German, multilingual, living in Colombia for over 30
years now, with a second residence in Germany, close to Frankfurt. I've
been birding and photographing birds in many countries, and I'm a member
of
several bird-related associations both in Germany and Colombia.

Of course I'd appreciate any help from your end, asking Tweeters if
anyone
is interested in getting in touch with me. I'm quite willing to pay for
any
service, or to offer something similar either in Colombia or in Germany.

What I normally do in other countries is to find out a few good spots
for
half a day or even a whole day, then find a cab or a private person to
take
me there in the morning and pick me up in the afternoon. Any suggestions
?.

Regards

Walter
