You have some great shots!

I need to get back to Ecuador with my new camera and my new discovery that I am in fact a newbie birder. The link is to a picture of Cotopaxi from the last time I was there.

Its been well on fifteen years since I was in Ecuador and I have nothing but fond memories of the country. I remember very well having my breath taken away at the foot of Cotapaxi, both by the altitude and the view.

Thanks for taking me back there ‘virtually’. Wonderful story about an amazing and amazingly striking bird.

The seedsnipe’s feathers look like and amazing hand embroidered shirt I came across once upon this life. How beautiful.
Don’t you lead a charmed life. Good for you and thanks for sharing!
