How does one know when to use an infinitive vs a present participle/gerund in Spanish?

For example, if I want to say: "I saw many birds in Cuba, including the Bee Hummingbird." Would I say: "Ví muchos pájaros en Cuba incluir (o incluyendo?) el Zunzuncito."

Since you are using it as a verb, you would use "incluyendo".
This video here on SpanishDict should hep.

After watching the video and doing the lesson, it seems as if I would be using "including" as an adverb and not a verb. - Pajaro44, May 9, 2010

Good question!! I would say this: Vi muchos pájaros en Cuba incluyendo el Zunzuncito.
Maybe: Vi muchos pájaros en Cuba incluso del Zunzuncito.
