    Mystery Bird - Mindo Cloud Forest, Ecuador

    On a visit to Mindo in Ecuador I managed a grainy photo of this bird that has completely thrown me for a loop. If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
  2. Blue-necked Tanager

    Blue-necked Tanager

    This tanager was seen on the grounds of Yellowhouse near Mindo, Ecuador. It was September and apparently it had been a successful breeding season as there were many fledglings in various states of juvenile plumage. This was one of the few adults seen.

    Green Violetear

    This is a bird with an aberrant plumage that is more likely to be caused by structural differences (no iridescence) than by lack of one of the pigments. There has been a fair bit of discussion about whether this is a green or sparkling v. I am going with Green for a number of reasons...
