Eduardo Martinez is a Mexican biologist, bird monitoring specialist and birding guide with more than 15 years of experience guiding birding tours in Veracruz previously for Pronatura Veracruz, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, the Hawk Migration Association of North America and other organizations. He is a former coordinator of the Veracruz River of Raptors Project and lead bander of their Raptor Banding Station. He has also worked for the University of Arizona, monitoring breeding birds in the Sky Islands of the Southwest and burrowing owls in south CA and has been part of the Arizona Bald Eagle Nestwatch Program since 2016. He is a founding member of the first birding club in Veracruz, the COAX, established in 2006 and helped create the three CBC circles existing in central Veracruz.
After many years of working as birding guide as a side hustle to his main profesional activities, he has decided to put all that experience to a good use and start Bichodemonte Birding Tours, a tourism company focusing on showing birding and nature enthusiast the rich biodiversity of his home state, Veracruz. Although Bichodemonte's first tour will be based around the amazing raptor migration ocurring every fall in Veracruz, the goal is to develop more tours that explore more areas of the state, like that of the Los Tuxtlas rainforest, in the south, or La Huasteca, in the north, and eventually expand to other areas of Mexico as rich in avian diversity and culture as Veracruz.
