Los Cedros Reserve Ecuador (Glaucidium nubicola)

Have spent a month volunteering at Los Cedros reserve in Ecuador www.reservaloscedros.org , shortly setting up a bird gallery for the site, would really like to encourage people who can to visit this incredible place, as they are under threat from land-grabbers and mining companies. Thanks for looking.

Dear Peter,
excellent shot. Are you sure it is Glaucidium parkeri and not Glaucidium nubicola. Glaucidium parkeri lives only on the eastern slope of the Andes and Los Cedros is located on the western slope, where nubicola lives.

Falke is right and I have corrected the name. Regardless, very nice - only the second photo of this species in the BF gallery.
