Field Notes
You are a guide who combines profound knowledge of birds, exceptional ability to find them, and humane treatment and empathy toward the birds. Thanks, Jacobo, and we hope to return soon to Panama.
Marieta HernándezI have birded in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Ecuador and naturally, in my Venezuela, but I have never had a guide as you--a guide completely determined to find every bird in the area and no matter how long or how much work.
Mary Lou GoodwinWe birded with Jacob for 7 full days and had an outstanding experience. We are very experienced birders but Jacobo is light-years better. We highly recommend his services.
Ed Hall and Don LewisWe had a wonderful experience. You are a great guide. We are amazed by your ability to find those wonderful birds in the dark forest. We think you have a very special gift and an encyclopedic knowledge of the birds of Panama.
