My second consecutive tour in Ecuador has just finished and I’m on my way home. This was a pretty short one, only six days of birding, but it covers a lot of ground with nights in high and medium cloud forest, as well as in the Amazon foothills. Consequently, there were lots of birds. I had 300 on my list including some heard-only stuff, and the group total was close. Highlights were Andean Potoo, Swallow-tailed Nightjar, White-chested Puffbird, both Crested and Golden-headed Quetzal, and a variety of antbirds, tanagers, hummingbirds, and other whatnots.

HERE is a photo-enhanced narrative of the tour.
