Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

As the book says, this bird could be mistaken at first for many other types of birds. Not put off by an Andean Bear nearby, had only 1 photo click and fortunately it was in focus. Bellavista Forest Reserve

A new species for me made a brief appearance at a feeder at Zuroloma. As with most locations in the Ecuadorian Andes, it was hard to keep up with the bird activity - a great challenge to have.

At Zuroloma Reserve. The striking bill was helping in the identification.
