Hi Tweeters:
Just to add a comment to the helpful link from Dianna - we did go birding with Jarol thanks to a Tweeters RFI response suggesting we contact Tropical Birding in Quito.? He is amazing - talented and humble.? He barely mentioned his lodge - except that it is "hard core"...He also looked at us a little funny when we wanted to add shopping at?the Otavalo Market to our itinerary with him (what a waste of talent!) but he did stock up on woven hammocks for his lodge...I hope to make it there soon.
Thanks for the info available on Tweeters - I really appreciate this great group.

Subject: [Tweeters] Amazon birding adventure


Hi Tweets?.the members of the board of Grays Harbor Audubon recently received an e-mail from an Ecuadorain naturalist and bird guide telling us of eco-friendly birding adventures based out of the Shiripuno Amazon Lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon. One of our board members has been to this area and was favorably impressed with the locale and the experience, so I am sending on the link to the lodge for those who might be interested. He also attached a list (started in 2002) of the birds seen at or near the research center next door to the lodge if anyone is interested. Contact me off-list for that list.??? www.shiripunolodge.com
