I don't understand?

Avistamiento de aves Doña Dora is an excellent birding site located a little less than two hours west of Cali Colombia. You can see many amazing species up close. The food and service there is top notch as well.

Here are a few more photos from my visit last September.

Sorry for the slow response, I'm still learning bluesky. I recently moved to Washington state, so unfortunately, my days wandering those trails were limited to about a dozen days over the last 6 months. It's good to know this little guy brought some joy to someone's day.
