ECUADOR: Hummingbirds

Working in NW Ecuador and visiting places like Tandayapa Lodge give you great opportunities to rack up many, many species of colorful hummingbirds. All around the country now Ecuadorians have cottoned on to the pulling power of colorful "colibris", and have therefore set up feeders loaded with sugar water to get them in. Long may this continue. On a focused hummer tour to the northwest only it is quite possible to get over 40 species of hummers, and even 50 species on a dedicated hummer trip to the south. Ecuador is truly the land of the hummingbirds, (over 120 species occur there), and so I have separated out the hummingbirds from the other Ecuador gallery as they deserve full attention on their own.

Very impressive gallery of so many different hummers. I am glad to see a lot of shots were taken at Tandayapa, one of the locations I hope to visit in february next year. Please adjust nr.5 the velvet-purple coronet, it is too large.
