The Birds of Ecuador, Part 1: Hummingbirds
On a recent trip to Ecuador I saw many new hummers species and learning them all, let alone photographing them, was quite a challenge. Luckily they are as numerous there as they are diverse and feeders attract quite a following.
Green-crowned Brilliant,
Brown Inca,
Long-tailed Sylph,
Collared Inca,
Gorgeted Sunangel
and the tiny Woodstar.
Some non-feeder birds were:
the omnipresent Rufous-tailed Hummer
Fawn-breasted Brilliant
and what I think is a Violet-bellied Hummingbird.
Here's a video of their high energy antics around the feeders.
