Ecuador Experiments Humane Species 
10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 10, 2023
One reason that I can think of for subjecting myself to such a torturous experience is if I am going birdwatching. I had just ended my ten-day birding adventure in Ecuador (which is a story for another time) when I decided, since I had an amazing time, to prolong my trip a bit longer before heading back to Europe. Ah, what the heck!

For me there are few experiences more satisfying than releasing a fish that has put up a great fight. The quest to see a particularly challenging species is something I dream about, plan for, study and rave about. Enter our quest to see the Scaled Antpitta at Tandayapa Lodge in Ecuador. Just ask Corey or Mike.

In 2009, I traveled from New York City to the tropical rainforest of Ecuador. If you are about to embark on your first trip to the Neotropics and are strapped for time, I highly recommend chapter 4, “Finding Animals in the Rain Forest,” with its suggestions on observation (how exactly do you SEE species that remain in the canopy?)

In 2012, I reviewed The Jewel Hunter , an absorbing narrative in which author Chris Goodie travelled throughout Asia, Africa, and Australasia to observe and photograph every Pitta species in the world. Hummingbird species, on the other hand, number in the hundreds.

It is my best bird because it is just such an incredible species, and looking at it made me realize that I had temporarily stopped to fully appreciate birds during the stressful last few years. This year I watched them from the day they arrived , until two chicks successfully hatched, the northernmost breeding record for the species.

Other birds with webbed feet, including ducks and geese, have only three webbed toes; the hallux (which in birds is usually the “hind toe&# and in humans, the “big toe&# ) is free. For all of recorded history, humans have classified other living things by their physical characteristics.

The adults presumably have already learned that humans are not usually good news even if not named Donald Trump. I guess you cannot be too choosy while traveling, as I have learned when on trips in Ecuador and other places. The Oriental Scops Owl may well be my favorite species passing through Nanhui, Shanghai during migration.
