You don't need to be an expert birder to contact a Pal. Together you have love for nature, birds, new countries and learning.
These are serious birdwatchers willing to share their time to help you. It is a privilege to contact them. Your message should be respectful.
A Birding Pal does not charge a fee, however you should pay for their expenses, transportation costs, entrance fees, meals, etc.
Pals will answer your messages quickly, if they can. You might select someone who is traveling, so write to more than one Pal, and be patient. Let us know if someone doesn't answer and we'll check that everything is okay.
Let us know when you are going to meet a Pal, and then let us know how it went.
Happy birding.

I started birdwatching because I was a fan of Annabelle Dod's articles and books, and when I got to know her personally I become totally involved with birdwatching and conservation.
I've been birding for more than 30 years and know most hotspots of my country.
I am now a conservation photographer.

As part of the largest estuary in the insular Caribbean, the 208 km2 Los Haitises National Park is a protected area in the northeast of the country (see map), which offers the visitor a rich variety of natural wonders to explore, including: large expanses of mangrove, humid subtropical forest, sea grass beds, and pristine keys scattered along the length of the coast. The irregular topography of small, vegetation covered hills so characteristic of Los Haitises is the result of erosion subsequent to uplifting of the underlying limestone bedrock, formed over millions of years by marine organisms. The National Park of Los Haitises is Located at the western end of the bay on the south shore across from Sanchez, this park features mangrove swamps with giant mangrove trees forming a lush, green canopy above the watery trails that wind through the swamps. Taino caves where the islands first inhabitants lived are another popular attraction of the park. Tours leave from Samana, Sanchez and Sabana de la Mar at the park's eastern edge across the bay from Samana.

Birdwatcher, biology student, nature photographer, interested in bird conservation and ecology. Member of the Ornithological Society of the Hispaniola (SOH). The island of Hispaniola is home to 32 endemic species, found nowhere else in the world, most can be seen on the Dominican Republic. The island has the richest biodiversity and the highest endemism of the caribbean islands. Great birding can be enjoyed within a short drive form the city, but to really appreciate what the DR has to offer, plan for a 4 to 6 day stay on the island.

We can help people arrange trips and/or connect with local guides that can offer some simple, easy birding in which one can easily pick up a dozen or more endemics and regional species. Or one can go for the more rigorous birding and try to get all 30 endemics and 20 regional specialty species.
