Following the tanager post, we have here a collection of some more of the colourful birds that we encountered at the lodges and other locations relatively close to Quito. The largest task in this series is yet to come…namely the ID and posting of the large collection of hummingbird photos. Hopefully they will be ready reasonably soon!!
