This month was definitely a GEM. We had such a fantastic time birding for 24 hours. Seeing this immature Orange-breasted Falcon in Georgetown was by far our bird of the day. Having said that, it was not the first time seeing this bird in Georgetown. My buddy Calderon and I was leading a birding tour back in 2016 I believe and we had a similar experience seeing this species in the Gardens.

This Orange-breasted Falcon is known to be in much higher elevation, but to see one in Georgetown was out of this world.
Yes, this is one of many species classified as sensitive on eBird. Not to worry though, the birding community in Guyana is super tiny so by me posting about where I saw it didn’t triggered any bird rush as I like to call it towards the site to see this species. In fact, I don’t think anyone after us even went to see it.
Having spent the day birding with some of my amazing friends; Travis, Amanda, Kester and Kevin made even more special. Stay true for more…
In my next post, I will include a link to our GlobalBigDay eBird trip report so you can see what we saw during that day along with many other pictures.

A perfect afternoon at Caiman House Lodge. The afternoon light was perfect for some good bird photography. Myself, Marcel and Bradly my two client along with our local guides set off along the mighty Rupununi River for a couple hours. We saw and photographed some very cool birds including this magnificent Green Ibis. Shot was taken January 2024. Bradly Hacker.

Have you seen this species yet? Meet the Variegated Tinamou (Crypturellus variegatus), better known locally as mam. Tinamous are some of the most difficult birds to see in the forest. I was super lucky to ran into this individual sitting on a nest during a bird survey in region 7 Guyana.

Meet the Ruby-Topaz Hummingbird. This one is right up there with the Crimson Topaz in terms of beauty. Have you seen this one yet? Let me know where you last saw one. Shot was taken in Trinidad, Canon 7D Mark II.

Guys, I noticed someone created a fake Facebook of my account. Please do not accept any friend request unless you know for sure it’s from me. Thank you

Meet the Black Manakin. Have you seen this species before? This species is relatively common in white sand forest. For some reason, it’s one of the most difficult ones to photograph in the locations we visit to see them. Shot was taken Jan 2024. B. Hacker.

10/09/2024

Hummingbird are some of the most extraordinary birds around. With their ability to fly backward especially when feeding on flowers is such a thing of beauty. Meet the Blue-chinned Sapphire. This individual was photographed in Moco Moco village, North Rupununi, Guyana. Jan 2024 Bradly Hacker.

Antbirds are some of the most difficult birds to photograph. This gorgeous female Black-chinned Antbird was photogenic enough to allow us long enough views to capture this amazing image. This particular species is more associated with creeks and rivers. The nest time you’re in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Watch out for this beauty. Shot was taken along the Rupununi River near Caiman House Lodge. January 2024, Bradly Hacker. 🇬🇾

08/09/2024

Meet the beautiful Amazonian Motmot, have you seen this species yet? Previously, this species was known as the Blue-crowned Motmot but then got split into several different species. So now you have to come see it again because of the changes. Shot was taken in the Iwokrama Forest. Jan 2024.. Bradly Hacker.

One of the most common hummingbirds around Guyana is this beautiful Glittering-throated Emerald. We enjoyed taking pictures of this one in Moco Moco village, North Rupununi, Guyana, Region # 9 @ Bradley Hacker.

As much as this Ornate-Hawk Eagle is so wide spread based on range distribution, seeing any Eagle is always amazing. Many large birds especially raptors like this one are under threat due to factors like the pet trade, hunting, loss of habitat to name a few. These and many other birds like Vultures are very important to our ecosystem. In my experience, what I’ve noticed with this bird is that it seems very skittish in the places where I’ve seen them so far. I’m not sure if this is a natural behavior or it’s because people try to trap them? There is a reason why this bird is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) Red List for Threatened Species; at the moment, this eagle is listed as near threatened. Shot was taken in Jan 2024, Rupununi River, Guyana. Hacker.

Another raptor, one of the many Savanna specialist, is this gorgeous Savanna Hawk. Super common and easy to photograph. It’s interesting how most raptors react when approaching them for a closer look or just to take a photograph. It’s funny how they would allow you to approach them once you’re in a vehicle, but the minute you step out, it’s a different ball game. Remember, the next time you see a Savanna Hawk that is within range for to photograph, stay in your car and enjoy the news and pictures. Don’t step out, otherwise you will miss the opportunity to get a good shot. Shot was taken in the Rupununi Savanna 9, Jan 2024 Hacker..

A few days ago, I posted a picture of one of the most common raptors seen around Georgetown. That bird was the Snail Kite. Today, I would like to share with you one that is uncommon. Meet the beautiful Slender-billed Kite. In Guyana, we tend to see them along the coast in certain areas. It’s one of those species that can very easily be overlooked due to its simplicity with the Snail Kite. This is absolutely one of my favorite raptors to see. The next time you’re in the areas between bounty farm in Timehri and heading up east bank towards Georgetown, pay close attention because seeing a bird that looks like a Snail Kite might just be a Slender-billed Kite. We also see them on the West Bank north of the harbor bridge as well, so remember to double check and make sure which bird you’re looking at. 😊.

A species that is restricted along the coast in Guyana is this absolutely beautiful, Spotted-today Flycatcher. While this bird is found along the coast in Guyana, it’s also found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela, and is mostly a species of the Amazon Basin countries and Guianan countries. This individual was photographed at Hope Canal E.C.D.

Discipline is the key to success. Don’t let anyone try to run you over and take advantage of you. Noting is wrong with saying no. Stay focus on your dreams. Be kind to each other..

One of many giants in the rainforest. While this amazing Silk cotton tree is not as big I’ve seen in the past, this is still a beast of a tree.. One of the things I love about this tree, is that it sticks out above the forest canopy. It is one of many emergent species and one of the trees that the Harpy Eagle love to build it’s nest in. Let’s keep our forest standing. They are worth more alive than dead. Do you believe that? Let me know in the comments below. Shot was taken at Rock Landing near Surama Lodge, Guyana. . . . . . . . . #big #trees #forestphotography #rainforest #protected #leonmoorenatureexperience #journeyguyana #leonmoorephotography #journey #greeneyes #nature #beauty #youtube #youtuber #trending #viralvideos #canopy #plantstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #southamerica #amazon #discover #bbc #adventure #travelblogger #travelphotography #photographylovers #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #videooftheday #harpyeagle #birdnest #trees #forestwildlife #suramalodge

The Bronzy Jacamar is one of many white sand specialist we normally target during our birding tours here in Guyana, South America . Especially during our stay at the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway.
