For my next visit in the following summer, we decided to organize a company birding trip to La Estanzuela – another treasure spot in the Cumbres. We met Marilyn and Leonardo at a non-descript fast-food joint’s parking lot and within 10 minutes we were in Parque Nacional La Estanzuela. This was going to be epic. It was amazing.

Instead of seeking out their own discoveries they follow in the footsteps of others and seek out species already seen. Volunteer for conservation organizations. They wait for others to find birds and they chase them. That is, they twitch. Now, don’t get me wrong. I might have been known to twitch. Show kids birds.

Have you ever enjoyed one of those brilliant birding expeditions, the outing where every target species takes its cue with machine precision? But ranches, as you may know, can offer extremely benevolent birding, especially when it comes to grassland species. Every few yards into Aripo encouraged another species to show itself.
