Ecuador Bird Photos - Hummingbirds

by Will Cook

Here's a selection of bird images from a trip to Ecuador, November 17-December 7, 2007. I managed to photograph some of the 500 species of birds we saw, though I missed many of the more common ones. We saw lots of great butterflies, too. All photos were taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50.
