Dear Friends

We are posting this picture of our son Tony and our brand new daughter Daniela.
Tony grew up with Neblina Forest. First he was the waiter at the lodge when he was only 10 years old. He continued to grow with birding as he carried the telescope for Xavier during short birding trips. As he showed his interest for cars, he drove for us and managed the office. But he had his own dreams and is now a very successful General Motors hybrid expert. He has turned on his own path.

Dear Xavier and Mercedes,
Tom and I can hardly believe our good fortune. We had a perfect four days with Sandra and Edwin. We feel extremely lucky. Sandra probably told you that we saw so many condors flying in small groups and one large group of 11.

Dear Xavier,
I enjoyed the trip thoroughly and look forward to returning to Ecuador to see more of its amazing birdlife. On that next trip, I would like to spend a little more time trying to lure elusive forest birds (such as antpittas and tapaculos) into view with the tapes.

Mercedes,
In July, Alejandro Soleno guided me for nine days in pursuit of as many as
possible of the 95 Ecuadorian bird species I have not yet seen. We found
515 bird species on the trip, of which 21 were new ones for me, as well as
a
pair of Mountain Tapirs walking across the trail only 7 meters from us.

Our Reserve
Neblina Forest has been a leader in environmental
habitat protection...
