Pululahua Crater This bird is fairly common here in the Puluahua Geobotanical Reserve and lives between 2000 and 2600 m.a.s.l. It is very shy and difficult to see; playback is necessary to lure it out of the chusquea (highland bamboo) vegetation which is one of its preferred habitats.

At the same time, I found myself surrounded by an equally numerous group of Happy Wrens only a short distance downhill, in spite of that tropical species supposedly topping out at 2000 m (6550 ft). This is not the first time el Temascal has surprised me with its combination of high and low species.
