Here are some of the photos that I have taken over recent days of the Mistletoebird family. The raising of these young chicks is not over yet! We are really enjoying the experience of observing another bird species that is black, white and red breed in our local patch. Male Mistletoebird and nest. Female Mistletoebird and nest.

Those who only raise binoculars within their own backyards might also decide one day to venture further afield to look for the ones in the field guides that aren’t making it into their limited sphere of birding. Most of all, I love showing people birds, species both common and mysteriously evasive.

There are beautiful beaches, a plethora of amazing food and drinks, a multitude of family fun locations, a world-renowned zoo, and one of the biggest birding festivals in the US.

Ecuador is one of the world’s leading destinations for birdwatchers, and no wonder: with more then 1,600 bird species found throughout the small country, Ecuador has the world’s highest density of bird species found per acre. In fact, 1,600 different bird species accounts for almost 20% of the species known to exist in the world.

The most vocal species is the Brown Honeyeater. Pheasant Coucals are cuckoos, but they are very unusual because they actually build their own nests and raise their own young. Earlier this year we encountered a Pheasant Coucal family close to Broome. As the temperature rises and the available water reduces they venture in.

Every place has its common birds, the species that do very well in a given habitat. As we like to say, these are species that are “hard to miss”, birds that, if you are watching, will be seen. In most places, the number of birds makes it a challenge to pick just one signature species, Costa Rica included.
