Hi again

Google sucks!. The email last Monday regarding my recent blogpost may have looked like hard sell copy initially. However, as you read along, you probably noticed it was actually about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). And how Kolibri Expeditions hardly can be found for the most useful keywords on Google. Many thanks tor checking out the blogpost. (http://kolibriexpeditions.com/blog/birding-peru/)

There were a lot of ideas how to improve SEO that may be applicable to you too if you have a website.  Maybe even more than I hate Google, I hate to have to deal with all these things. Our web page looks good, but there are a number of plugins and photos that makes the page load slowly. Plugins for the blog, for Facebook and Twitter, as well as the slider with large photos also weigh a lot and steals speed. On top of everything the hosting provider is slow.  Slow pages are punished by Google. 

The last weeks we have done a lot of corrections to the website, and it should be loading faster now.  Hopefully, with you helping us in the way mentioned in the post, we should soon be ranking higher and get to the first page of Google for the relevant keywords. 

Once again. BIG THANKS for helping us out. It is very much appreciated.

I am in Mexico right now with a Swedish Birding group. We visited Calakmul in southern Yucatan with fantastic views of Ocellated Turkeys. Yesterday, we birded in San Cristobal, in Chiapas and got excellent views of perhaps the world's most beautiful wood-warbler - Pink-headed Warbler.

​​​​​​​A week ago we were birding on the west slope att San Blas and tomorrow, we start the quest of hiking the Triunfo Trail in Chiapas. Looking forward to superb subtropical birding containing Tody Motmot,  Horned Guan and Resplendent Quetzal. 

I hope to set up again an additional trips to these areas in a year or two. Let me know if you want to join. 

Next newsletter shall be about "How to find White-masked Antbird". Stay tuned. 

Saludos 

Gunnar

PS: Upcoming trips to White-masked Antbird and Scarlet-banded Antbird during the last week of February still have some vacancies.
