Part 03/8 of Glenn Bartley’s month-long trip around Ecuador. Our next stop was the famous Mindo area where we spent some time photographing one of my favorite Ecuadorian Hummingbirds – the Velvet-purple Coronet (seen below balancing on a branch) .
We also got some great looks at a few beautiful Tanagers (such as the Golden-naped Tanager and Fawn-breasted Tanager (seen below) and had an incredible encounter with a group of lekking Club-winged Manakins (see below). Day trips to a Butterfly Garden and to a local Cloud Forest Reserve rounded out our time in the northwest.
