    Ecuador eastern slope hot spots

    I am back in the USA after my trip to Ecuador. It was a great trip and I am very happy with how it turned out. The guide that I had used in 2018 and had planned to use again on this trip ended up being sick so he found me an excellent replacement named Jorge Luna. Jorge normally guides for...

    Battery options for Sony RX10-IV?

    I bought some Kastar batteries for my camera but some them seem to not hold a charge very well. Are there other better battery options besides the Sony original which is quite expensive?

    Antifog

    I don't remember what I used in the past on my binocular. I haven't used any type of antifog yet on my camera. Good tip about temperature. Unfortunately we have an SUV and a pickup, so no trunk in either vehicle.

    Antifog

    I moved to Arkansas last October from the Pacific NW so this is my 1st summer in the heat and humidity of the south. I went out birding this morning and immediately upon stepping pout of the car the lens of my Sony RX10-IV fogged up. Interestingly my binocular did not. I have not treated my...

    Thanks for all the input. We booked our flights a couple days ago and are hoping for no problems and good birding.

    Vax passport requirement?

    I hope this can be a civil and productive discussion. My wife and sister and myself are hoping to travel from the USA to Ecuador in December for a couple weeks. None of us had the so called Covid vaccine. We all got Covid and recovered. We have heard some rumblings that the World Health...

    Photos or not?

    I am planning my 3rd trip to Ecuador. I hope to go to the eastern slope this time in December. I have enjoyed more and more lately taking photos of the birds I see. I also like being able to share them with friends and family that are interested. Additionally, I have noticed that when I look...

    Auto-focus problem

    I will have to look but I doubt it. I am pretty sure that I deleted all of them as they seemed worthless to me at the time.

    Ecuador eastern slope hot spots

    I am in the planning stages for my 3rd trip to Ecuador. The 1st time was in April of 2016 and I went again in November of 2018. This next time will likely be in December of this year. The 1st 2 times I birded mainly around Mindo. This next time I would like to go to some of the hot spots in the...

    Auto-focus problem

    Hello all, my camera does not always focus on the bird I am trying to photograph. It often focuses on something beyond the bird and so I miss many good photo opportunities. My camera is a Sony RX10 MK IV and I have the focus set to Expand Flexible Spot. I wonder if I would be better off with it...

    Colombia Feb 2023

    Tremendous report and photos. My wife and I did a somewhat similar trip in February of 2020, just before Covid hit. We flew into Pereira and had a taxi take us to Otun Quimbaya. We stayed there 2 nights and then took a taxi back to the airport where we rented a car and drove to Rio Blanco for 2...
