Global Big Day 2019 Birdwatching the Amazon
Global Big day 2019
Quite an improvement from last years GBD, although we have new birds this time, there were several from last year that were not vocally active so they manged to escape our tally.
This year we came up with 260 birds species in one day in the area around Otorongo Amazon River Lodge in the District of Las Amazonas. Last year (gbd2018) due to rainfall, we only managed to register 139 species.
