Hi,

I haven't been birding in Central or South America, and I'd like to go this
year. Would you be willing to help by answering the following questions (if
you can):

> What countries/locations are ideal for viewing a variety of birds (&
animals, if possible)? For instance, would you recommend
Costa Rica or the Amazon? Please be specific.

> What season of the year would be best for viewing birds in those
locations? (For instance, would I be likely
to see more birds during the rainy season than during the dry season?)

> Which birds (& animals) would I be likely to see?

> Which months comprise the rainy season in your locations of choice?

> How would you arrange a trip: through a travel agent? (If so, which one?)

> If you make travel arrangements privately, which outfitters, guides,
lodgings would you recommend?

> Where would you not go--for personal safety or security?
========

Warmly,

Roger Chapanis
