| Like this Roadside Hawk -- we are taking off today! |
Yesterday we took a bus over the Andes from Papallacta. What spectacular scenery! Quito was bustling with people enjoying the sunny day. Our last taste of nature was a walk around La Carolina Park. The goal was to see the orchids in the botanical gardens -- but unfortunately -- the orchid display was being renovated. I am sad to leave this beautiful country. We already have a list of places we want to see the next time we visit!
This trip was a great success any way you count it.
- I saw 47 species of hummingbirds
- I saw 340 species of birds in Ecuador
- I improved my birding skills immensely
- I learned a lot about the ecology of tropical hummingbirds and other species
- Both Cloyce and I had a great time!
