My favorite bird in the rainforest is the Ecuadorian Quetzal. The Ecuadorian Quetzal bird is not only beautiful but also has great cultural and conservation significance, a symbol of rarity and protection of the natural environment. However, due to habitat loss and illegal hunting, this bird species is facing conservation risks.
That butterfly was especially gorgeous.
I love the Green Jay.
So many beautiful birds, unbelievable!
@juliemccaghey thank you. It was a great trip. Those places were for the most part on the east side of the Andes in the Amazon basin.
Potoo is a funny looking bird😊
The Tanagers are all especially beautiful.
Most assuredly.
The Grass Green Tanager is brilliant.

No wonder the Puffbird is so puffed up: he swallowed a whole grasshopper.
Bro, you found a lot of owls!
I’m guessing that Ecuador has more bird species than the U.S.
Yes, Ecuador has about 1600 species. The USA, despite being immensely bigger, only has about 1000.
Correct. About 1600 in Ecuador and 1000 in the USA.
