Here is a last minute opportunity to do some important field research on birds in the cloud forest birds of Ecuador at a very low price. This research was previously sponsored by Earthwatch, but has since gone on it's own being completely run by Dr. Dusti Becker from Lifenet. I personally went on a related trip to Ecuador in January of this year and paid almost twice as much when it was an Earthwatch sponsored program, so it is a "super" deal at this price. If you are interested in tropical South American birds with an emphasis in cock-of-the-rock and hummingbirds, you will enjoy this trip!
Dr. Becker has three people signed up for this trip so far and needs to have three more in order to pay for it. Since I totally support this project, I told her I'd help pass on the info. Ecuador has more bird life than any other place on Earth. It is a birder's paradise! http://www.mnzoo.com/conservation/International/CAT/EcuadorBirds.asp Like I mentioned, I went on a related trip and it's well worth it! I totally enjoyed it. It's an opportunity of a lifetime. It's also 100% tax deductible! And I guarantee that you'd never be able to do this trip cheaper on your own. http://www.lifenetnature.org/EcuadorProjectPromo.pdf Steve Estebo Avian Zoologist Minnesota Zoo 13000 Zoo Blvd. Apple Valley, MN 55124 (952)431-9321
