Who can forget Mike and Corey’s stories about Maria, the Giant Antpitta at Refugio Paz de Las Aves, Ecuador, or James Currie ‘s quest to see the Scaled Antpitta at Tandayapa Lodge? There are photos of parent birds on the nest, baby birds in the nest, and the nest without parent, holding a clutch of blue eggs. Organization.

When Esdras asked us to find the bird without his help, I flashed back to my first potoo experience on the Napo River, Ecuador, where I was literally face-to-face with a Common Potoo and still saw a stick. Double-striped Thick-Knee nests are shallow depressions in the ground, with a typical clutch of two eggs.

With a hardiness that belies their delicate looks (but helps explain their phenomenal success), these pioneering pigeons are already sitting on eggs at at least one location in Montana. We have on here in Ecuador that is very prolific in the highlands. So right now I’m feeling pretty good about Eurasian Collared-doves.

Blue-footed Boobies dance, whistle, court with their blue bills, cradle eggs with their blue feet, and cherish their young; they are endlessly fun and inspiring to observe. This wonderful experience happened when I visited the Pacto Sumaco community on the east slopes of Ecuador.
