Ernesto Perez is a professional Birding Guide and trained biologist with extensive experience leading birdwatching tours across Mexico. He began working with birds in 2010 through formal academic training in ornithology and field-based research, gaining a strong foundation in bird identification by sight and sound, as well as in avian ecology and behavior. His scientific background allows him to interpret birdlife within its ecological and conservation context, enriching the experience for participants.
Since 2018, Ernesto has worked professionally as a birding guide, leading tours for both national and international clients. His guiding experience spans multiple regions of Mexico, including the bird-rich landscapes of central Mexico with its high levels of endemism, the Baja California Peninsula, western Mexico, northeastern Mexico, and southeastern Mexico. He has collaborated with companies serving international birding groups, adapting his guiding style to meet the expectations of experienced birders while remaining accessible to those new to the activity.
Ernesto’s guiding philosophy emphasizes ethical birding practices, immersive field experiences, and careful attention to each participant’s interests. He follows internationally recognized birding ethics and encourages visitors to engage all their senses in the field, fostering a deeper connection with both birds and their habitats. He also has strong experience supporting wildlife photography, helping participants observe and photograph species in a respectful and natural manner. His combination of scientific training, regional expertise, and commitment to high-quality guiding makes him a valuable asset to birding tours throughout Mexico.
