Ecuador

Nancy and her husband made two trips to Ecuador with Tropical Birding, the first to northern Ecuador and the Amazon in late 2004, and the second to the far south of the country in early 2005. Nancy particularly enjoyed photographing the many, many species of hummingbird that can be found in Ecuador.
