BIRD EXPERTS SAY
This is what the authors of the most important bird books in Ecuador have to say:
“It is truly heartwarming to witness within these pages such passion embodied in this eye-catching ‘labor of love’. Herein, you will find inspiring photographs, clear and useful travel and photographic information, and a key to the avian riches that Quito’s Metropolitan District and its surroundings have. The accompanying webpage brings everything to life! Digital photography has opened a new door to the wonderful world of birds that awaits the curious traveller, and Ecuador offers a veritable treasure-trove to enjoy to the fullest.”
Co-author and illustrator of the book The Birds of Ecuador
“Oswaldo Ponce gives us a fresh idea, an innovative concept, materialized in an interactive book that is unparalleled; a practical, versatile and captivating tool; a tool that, in its own right, wins its space in every traveling photographer’s suitcase.”
Biologist, author of several field guides.
“It seems incredible, but it is true: among thousands of publications about the birds of Ecuador (literally), this is the first of its kind. Although we have some excellent books on Ecuadorian bird photography published in the last 15 years, this one fills (or creates) a new niche by providing its users with information about the ease of photographing over 150 species, and links it to an equally unique web resource: ‘photographs in motion’. Applause for its author.”
