Ever since i purchased Glenn Bartley's Birds in Ecuador book years ago i have wondered when i would get a chance to shoot those same stunning species.
For some reason 2017 felt like the right time and i did my research and we booked our flights back in January, and waited :)
The trip did not disappoint, in addition to the hummingbirds i was eager to add some more tanagers to my meager life list, did just that.
Not all birds were shot at feeding stations but that was where you were most likely to see them.

Congrats!
Was it expensive traveling there?
It was the most economical trip i saw when first deciding.
All meals and transfers were included.
They go to all the "must see" birds just like other tours.
A lot of agencies like Tropical Birding book at San Jorge lodges, we just cut out the middle man and booked direct.
