Languages: Spanish and English
Ernesto Pérez, a biologist at heart and a naturalist since childhood, ventured into the thrilling world of nature photography when he received his first digital camera during the final semesters of his biology studies. Since 2017, he has passionately led expeditions as a birdwatching guide, starting in the magnificent Baja California Peninsula. From 2020 onward, he expanded his territory to take bird enthusiasts on exciting birdwatching trips in central Mexico, exploring regions such as Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Guerrero. His specialization lies in the beautiful state of Guerrero, where he has become an expert in organizing tours designed to spot and photograph the Short-crested Coquette, a hummingbird species endemic to the Sierra de Atoyac and critically endangered according to the IUCN.
Ernesto's goal is to ensure that birdwatchers and nature photographers have the best possible experience getting to know the birds, sharing their love and knowledge of birds and nature, and, through these experiences, being able to contribute to the conservation of species that provide us with many benefits—in other words, photographing for conservation.
