Southern Ecuador Photo Tour
p.1 #1Southern Ecuador Photo Tour
Hello friends,
Greetings from Costa Rica, where we are wrapping up our annual tour with Trogon Photo Tours, which I'll tell you more about in the future.
This time, I want to share some photos taken during our photography tour in southern Ecuador in January.
This trip took us through various types of forests and ecosystems in search of some of the most beautiful hummingbird and bird species in the region.
The tour was a success, and we were fortunate enough to photograph most of our target birds, including the elusive and endemic Blue-throated Hillstar, as well as many other species of hummingbirds, tanagers, trogons, and more.
Unfortunately, my camera stopped working, so I won't be able to show you many of the photos.
As always, all comments are welcome.
Regards,
Javier

A delight to view Javier. While these are all excellent images, the third of the Collared Trogon that includes a spider web and butterfly is very special. I hope your camera is fixed quickly so you can get back to taking stunning photos.
