BIRDS OF ECUADOR
Hummingbirds are known as “flying jewels” so radiant are their luminescent feathers. Ecuador has 130 different varieties and is called “The Land of Hummingbirds.” Outside the lodge in Tandayapa in Ecuador’s Andean Cloud Forest they sip nectar from the flowers their beating wings sound like bees. Spracket Tail, Tawny Bellied Hermit, and Sword Billed hummingbirds are just some of types. We found a location to photograph the local cock-of-the-rock with his red head.
