Our Casa Maria and Hato Piñero tour provided an incomparable mix of birds, mammals and habitats unique to the Neotropics. This year we started in a different way: with views of blue-and-yellow and chestnut-fronted macaws flying over the valley of Caracas. We also enjoyed orange-winged and yellow-crowned parrots in flight as well as the Rose-ringed Parakeet (introduced from Asia) commuting to the roosting site. In Casa Maria we enjoyed an amazing mix of tanagers while in Hato Piñero we were chased by a jaguar!
