Ecuador Wildlife - more from the Amazon

[cascadeco]

I'll have one more thread of Ecuador wildlife after this, but this one wraps up the Amazon

Merry Christmas!


Orange-cheeked Parrots and Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlets



Yellow-crowned Amazon Parrots, Mealy Amazons, and Blue-headed Parrots



Same as above, but also Dusky-headed Parakeets






Great-billed Hermit



Long-billed Starthroat



Wire-tailed Manakin (I know photo quality isn't great, but this is a special bird and it took a fair amount of tracking effort to get to it, lighting was difficult, and I am in need of a telefoto lens too!)



Crested Owls



White-throated Woodpecker (the guides said this was a more rare sighting)















This butterfly was an *amazing* vivid-fluorescenty-scarlet color on its topside, but it was impossible to photograph it while flying



Not resizing a few of these, as they deserve to be large

Golden-mantle Tamarin



White-chinned Jacamar (not a hummingbird)



Cinnamon Attila



Adult Rufescent Tiger-heron



Juvenile Rufescent Tiger-heron



Caiman



Paradise Tanager



Ivory-billed Aracari


Scale-breasted Woodpecker



Spider Monkey
