Birding Ecuador 2012 - Part I -

I spent a short vacation in Ecuador, January 12 - 20, this year (2012). The only places visited was Papallacta Hot Springs (one night), Guango Lodge (two short visits) and WildSumaco Lodge (seven nights). I was mostly there for Butterflies and Moths, but HEY, birds were plentiful! I plan to post 3 parts with mostly birds, way later there will be a separate part with just Lepidoptera.
In this first part we'll se footage of Viridian Metaltail, White-bellied Woodstar, Tourmaline Sunangel, Buff-tailed Coronet, Long-tailed Sylph, Mountain Velvetbreast, Sword-billed Hummingbird (briefly), Cliff Flycatcher, Sparkling Violetear, Many-spotted Hummingbird, Wire-crested Thorntail, Gould's Jewelfront, Golden-tailed Sapphire, Squirrel Cuckoo, Chestnut-tipped Toucanet and Channel-billed Toucan.
I have also inserted some photos: Viridian Metaltail, Pale-naped Brush Finch and Chestnut-tipped Toucanet.

Pacha Quindi Trail Camera

Thanks to Paul Stewart who filmed at Pacha Quindi as Cameraman for both BBC and National Geographic for giving us a trail camera. This video is a result of the first 2 months we have had it on the trails here in the Pacha Quindi Nature Refuge. There are many endangered Andean Cloud Forest species that are found and protected here. We are so excited about the initial results we wanted to share and post some of the film footage. We look forward to filming more of the elusive wildlife and will be posting again, but until then enjoy these amazing animals!!!
