In June/July this summer, Dave Swayne and I had an opportunity to explore
some quality birding areas in Peru. Our itinerary went from sea level to
nearly 5000 m, from the Amazon rainforest to the Cusco highlands to drier
coastal scrub and sierran habitats. We observed over 600 species of birds
with 200+ lifers for each of us. As usual, the birding was intense--we were
up by 5 am every day--but we had a guide that was knowledgeable and
patient.

A blog post about the trip will be forthcoming (I hope!); in the meantime,
I have uploaded trip photos to Flickr:

enjoy.
