More colorful fruiteaters...ECUADOR (Jan 2011)



With a stop at the hummer feeders obligatory after all that feeder action at Paz de Aves, we were drawn away sooner than intended from the glittering and glistening hummer species present by a shout from one of the other members of the Paz family, who drew us to yet another fruit-eating bird. Sadly though this one has yet to make a star appearance at the fruit feeders, though they have been dangerously close at times, it seems they have yet to appreciate the humble banana. However, that did not stop us getting first rate looks at both the male (top) and female (bottom) Orange-breasted Fruiteater...

Back to focus on the hummers at the feeders next...
