Wow - almost sad to hear you have reached the end of your stash as I have been enjoying our vicarious trip with your photos. I hate picking favorites with this many neat shots but I really like the colors of the Green Honeycreeper.

Like Alan I am a bit sad to hear this series is ending Michael. Such interesting birds. Feel free to post more of these birds if you process more views. I would love to see more of these.

My favorites are #2 and the last 4.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Some amazing and colorful species of birds you captured.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Lots of great mages here, Kevin. My favorites are 7 and 9.

Outstanding birds and photography, Michael.
I missed quite a few of the birds on my trip to Ecuador because a country-wide strike over rising fuel costs that resulted in road blockades and limited travel.

Another excellent series Michael. Looks like a great place to visit. Did you use guides? Travel around a lot? What equipment are you using? Any other information that you feel is relevant?
