When I arrived in Ecuador, I thought I was there to photograph some of the 132 species of Hummingbirds that live in that magical place. I did see and photograph about ten percent of the Hummingbird species that live there but I discovered that the Tanagers were every bit as colorful and fascinating as the hummingbirds. This is the Glistening Green Tanager, a small bird with coloration unlike anything I’d ever seen. Even the colorful Amazon parrots that are primarily green, could not compete with this standout. I quickly realized after I arrived that it wasn’t only the Hummingbirds that make Ecuador a special birding place, but the Tanagers, as well.
It looks like an Easter peep😊
