This should be my last post of bird photos taken in my trip to Ecuador last year. In contrast with
birds on Galapagos, extremely diversified birdlife can be found on the mainland Ecuador, where is believed to be even higher bird-diversity than other countries in South America. Given just less than a week for birding on the mainland before and after my visit to Galapagos, I chose only a few birding sites located around 2-hour driving from Quito, the capital of Ecuador. The photos shared here are only some of the birds (excluding hummingbirds, which can be found in another
post here) seen and captured in barely acceptable quality for presentation while the complete bird list and information can be found on
my photo album.
