Birds of Central Colombia part two: Western slope central Andes and Cocora valley

We stayed for three weeks in Central Colombia and covered the area between Medellin and Pereira. We visited following birding hot spots: Tinamu birding nature reserve ( bird guides: Daniel and Fernando), Termales del Ruiz (unfortunately we could not reach the paramo because of the bad weather), the Cocora valley, the Pereira region, the Tatama National Park ( bird guides: Fernando) and Jardin (bird guides : Guillermo Nagy and dona Lucia). We ended with some urban birding in Medellin and Bogota. We made a series of six short video's according to the different hot spots.
We could succesfully document over 150 species from this area. Since many bird species have a large distribution area while others are confined to some specific locations, in order to avoid overlap, we show most species only once.
Colombia is a beautifull country with proud and very friendly people! We enjoyed our stay.
Identification to the best of our knowledge. For corrections: see comments.

Not only the birds are beautiful in Colombia! Colombians are really friendly people and always ready to help. We had a great time .

[@janetjwoodward]

Guy Marchal Can you tell us what cameras you are using? Amazing footage!

[@НадеждаКормщикова]

Благодарю за чудесное видео !-🌹🌹🌹

[@danielfernandolopezmartine3936]

Very nice video, I remember mostly the kynkajou moment

[@guymarchal8660]

Hello Daniel, nice to hear from you. We had a great time at your place, an experience we always will remember! ( particularely when we got lost in the dark, on impossible roads, trying to find the lodge.) The place was fabulous as where all the people, working hard to make our stay a succes. Thanks to everybody !

[@renoplamorales5501]

Waooooow " AMAZING."

[@COLOMBIAFRANK]

Very nice video, congrats! I hope you enjoyed COLOMBIA and will come back soon, there is much more to discover. BTW you have a tipo in the description, the name is Tinamu and not Tinamou. If you need some assistance for your next trip to Colombia, let me know. Best regards from Bogota Frank

[@Mario-re2qp]

Tinamou es como se escribe en Ingles

[@cleuzabueno8190]

A natureza é muito lindo

[@torquila55]

Guy , the hummer at 7:28 looks like Tourmaline Sunangel; The metaltail does not have a purple-rosy gorget.

[@guymarchal8660]

right, this is clearly a mistake! thanks.

[@ivan11cast]

Where did you enjoy the most around the bogota area? Or any special lodge you think is a must to visit around Bogota?

[@guymarchal8660]

unfortunately we stayed only one night in Bogota before flying back home. we only had the oportunity to visit the botanical garden. We should return to Colombia: a realy interesting and beautiful country with a lot of nice and friendly people

[@aedltm]

The one labeled as black thighed puffleg is a mountain velvetbreast

[@guymarchal8660]

Thanks You are absolutely right! a stupid mistake.

[@troelalul]

mooi die berg toucans. waar was dat?

[@guymarchal8660]

op de weg naar het hotel Termales del Ruiz

[@mikevellinga8340]

nog wat ....ik ben altijd verbaasd dat vogels kunnen vliegen in de natuur incl. thorns zonder schade aan hun verenpak vergeleken na mijn tuinwerk benen/armen/handen vaak met bloedende huid e.d. ........

[@sangitarani3689]

Birds name do not show properly.

[@Mario-re2qp]

I have seen a few of these species in Panama. Surprised you didn't show any tanagers, where did you see the most variety? How safe is it go to alone?

[@guymarchal8660]

hello Mario I saw lot of tanagers on the different locations and at different altitudes. I am currently editing the footage. So far only three parts of a series of six on "birds of central Colombia" are on youtube. You can expect three more in the coming weeks.

[@Mario-re2qp]

@@guymarchal8660 would it be safe to bird alone in these areas or in a group?
