There is a “hide” on the grounds of Sachamatia Lodge in Ecuador that is used by birders to spot birds from an inconspicuous place so that the birds attracted to the area can be seen without stressing them. Inside, there is enough room to set ups tripods and seat about eight photographers. One of the ingenious things about this hide is that a large white canvas stretches across a framework at a 90° angle from the hide that is lit up all night by a large light bulb. During the night, bugs, moths, and other flying insects are attracted to the light and they cling to the white canvas so that in the morning, the canvas provides a smorgasbord of bugs for the birds that arrive at first light. Throughout the morning, birds fly to the canvas and snatch a morsel off the canvas. In the process of subduing the moth, microscopic scales fly everywhere off the wings creating a cloud that surrounds the bird. We watched lots of different bird species snatch a meal from the canvas. To me, the most entertaining was the Plain-brown Woodcreeper that would grab its meal from the canvas then retreat to the trunk of a nearby tree and subdue the bug as it ascended the tree and scales flew.
