Hummingbirds of Ecuador
Amy Shawley
One of the first stops in Ecuador was the Mindo Cloud Forest - a popular destination for birdwatchers! It was truly unforgettable spending some time with the hummingbirds there - here are a few of my photos of the little beauties, soon to be turned into paintings!
Coronia Aterciopelada - Velvet Purple Coronet
Colaespatula Zamarrito - Booted Racket-tail Hummingbird
Silfo Colilargo - Long Tailed Sylph
Silfo Colilargo - Long Tailed Sylph
Rayito Brillante - Copper Winged/Shining Sunbeam Hummingbird
(this one was actually taken at Termas de Papallacta, not Mindo)
Lesbia Nuna - Green Tailed Trainbearer Hummingbird
