For nearly two weeks in August and September 2025, photographer Noreen Doyle accompanied noted wildlife photographer and guide Greg Homel of Natural Encounters Birding Tours to the cloud forests of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. In this volume, she presents a selection of the marvelous birds they encountered while scouting lodges for future tours of the western slopes of the Andes Mountains: tanagers and hummingbirds with gem-like colors, the iconic Andean Cock-of-the-Rock, and a furtive Little Tinamou and White-throated Quail-Dove are just a few of the species that the reader will see in detailed full-color photographs.
