SUMMARY:Northern Ecuador Bird Tour with Sabrewing Nature Tours

On this exciting tour\, we’ll visit a wide variety of habitats as we travel from elevations of 14\,000 feet at Papallacta Pass down to 1\,000 feet at Silanche Reserve. \nOur tour will start in the famous Mindo area at Septimo Paraiso. From here\, we will explore the many birding hotspots of the region including Silanche Reserve\, Refugio Paz de las Aves where Angel Paz will feed his famous antpittas\, Tandayapa Pass\, and more!

Here we will visit three lodges\, Guango\, Cabañas San Isidro\, and Wildsumaco. These lodges are located at a variety of elevations which will mean each time we change lodges we will see a host of new species.

DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Hawk Watch on Friday\, September 20th with a virtual livestream presentation with Raptor Migration and Programs Director for the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA)\, Julie Brown! Brown will speak about HMNA’s work and the continental network of hawkwatching sites\, why collecting spring and fall migration data is important\, and what we’ve learned about raptor movements and populations. She’ll dive into migration data from the Cadillac Mountain Hawk Watch\, as well as data from across the continent and what it’s showing us about the health of raptor populations. \nJulie Brown is the Raptor Migration and Programs Director at the Hawk Migration Association of North America. Before joining HMANA in 2009\, she migrated throughout the US and tropics working as a field biologist primarily with raptors\, focusing on human impact studies\, migration research\, and behavioral studies. She received her BS in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Maine and received her MS in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England\, where she studied Peregrine Falcon migration in Costa Rica for her thesis. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband\, whom she met hawkwatching\, and her two bird-loving children\, a flock of chickens\, her dog\, and lots of fruit trees. She is a volunteer counter at the Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory each fall. \nThis virtual presentation is free and open to the public – registration is required.
