This new bird watching is scheduled for Saturday, May 11 and has the motto “Every bird counts.”
Diana Lucena Gavilán, representative of Happy Life Tours and Cesar Arredondo, representative of Biodiverso Travel explained that this day is celebrated worldwide for bird watching.
Reporting species sighted during this event provides an invaluable opportunity to monitor and conserve birds, as well as to maintain a record of all species on an international platform.
Arredondo mentioned that local interest in bird watching has grown significantly, which has strengthened the Global Big Day. Likewise, he mentioned Merlin, which is an information platform on bird species that is used to identify these species. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/es/home-page/
For his part, Lucena points out that his group will cover several routes within the Jaguar corridor and other places. In Guaviare, the bird report exceeds 700.
As recommendations, it is important to get up early, wear dark-colored clothing and do the activity in silence to increase the chances of sighting.
There is also a platform to report birds, through the following link you can enter https://ebird.org/home
