INTRODUCTION:

With this being my first trip to Ecuador and in fact the South American continent, I could instantly see why the

Andes Introtour is always so popular. What a fantastic gateway to such a biodiverse region, one of which boasts

some of the most spectacular avian life on Earth. During the main tour we accumulated an incredible 324 species;

highlights being Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Club-winged Manakin, and Dark-backed Wood-quail to name but a

few. The two-day High Andes Extension delivered a further 46 species; highlights of the extension included Andean

Condor, Giant Hummingbird and Andean Lapwing. This gave us a total of 370 species overall, 28 of which were

heard only and 5 that were only seen by the guides. We also encountered some mammals on the tour, the two

favourites being the Three-toed Sloth and Culpeo (Andean Fox).

Visiting reserves from Yanacocha to Rio Silanche we were entirely immersed in the region’s diverse habitats and

breathtaking landscapes. All this based out of the world renowned Tandayapa Bird Lodge, made for a fantastic easy-

going tour with a homely base, great food, friendly attentive staff and a constant supply of hummingbirds to boot!

What more could you wish for?

January 15 – Yanacocha and the Old Nono-Mindo

Road: Leaving Quito behind, we made our way to the

renowned temperate forest reserve of Yanacocha. Driving

along the winding rural road, passing potato crops and

cattle, the mist strewn countryside looked beautiful. Along

the road we had some great birds such as Scarlet-bellied

Mountain-Tanager, Yellow-breasted Brushfinch, Tyrian

Metaltail, Ash-coloured Tapaculo and two soaring Black-

chested Buzzard-Eagle. As we continued on our hour-

long journey, another stop brought us Streak-throated

Bush-tyrant and Cinereous Conebill.

When we arrived at the reserve we headed straight to the

feeders to see what species were making the most of the

early morning sunshine. They didn’t disappoint, we were

surrounded by Masked Flowerpiercer, Buff-winged

Starfrontlet, Sapphire-vented Puffleg, Shining Sunbeam

and the jeweled wings of the Great Sapphirewing. A gasp

of excitement from everyone met the arrival of the

spectacular Swordbilled Hummingbird (Photo above by

Emma Juxon); this species may not possess the colour

spectrum of some other hummingbirds but it more than

makes up for it in the bill department!

After having our fill at the feeders, we started off along

the Inca trail through the reserve, highlights included

Blue-backed Conebill, Rufous Wren, Spectacled



Whitestart, Tufted Tit-tyrant, Crowned Chat-Tyrant, Superciliaried Hemispingus and Andean Guan. As we

reached the end of the trail the mist had closed in and the rain had started. The weather did not hold us back

however, as we added Golden Breasted Puffleg to our hummingbird list. More stunning views of Sword-billed

Hummingbird and Great Sapphirewing made for some fantastic photo opportunities whilst sheltering from the rain.

As we walked a short way down one of the trails beyond the feeders, two White-throated Screech-Owl (Photo on

previous page by Emma Juxon) appeared, allowing great views of this uncommon temperate forest specialty. After a

brilliant first morning, lunch was on our minds’ and we took the trail back to the reserve entrance where a much-

welcomed home cooked meal awaited us. After a little more time spent at the feeders it was time for us to head

downhill to the Tandayapa Bird Lodge via the old Nono-Mindo Road.

As we passed through the farmlands we encountered

Plain-coloured Seedeater and Hooded Siskin.

Leaving the agricultural terrain behind us the

presence of the silvery leaves of Cecropia trees

indicated that we had now entered the cloud forest.

A couple of stops along the road delivered Blue and

White Swallow, Russet Crowned Warbler, Collared

Inca, White-sided Flowerpiercer, Rufous-chested

Tanager and White-capped Dipper searching for

unsuspecting invertebrates along the Alambi River.

We arrived at Tandayapa Bird Lodge, our base for

the next 5 nights, and immediately headed out to

the infamous hummingbird feeders. We enjoyed the

chattering spectacle of Booted Racket-tail, Violet-

tailed Sylph (Photo left by Emma Juxon), Purple-

bibbed Whitetip and Green-crowned Brilliant, with

a further 8 species of hummingbird.

January 16 – Tandayapa Valley: Refreshed from a

great night’s sleep, we headed off into the darkness,

making our way to a hide just a short walk from the

lodge. Arriving under the cover of darkness meant

that we could sit and wait for the birds to start

foraging at the moth trap and compost as daybreak

came without them being disturbed. First to arrive

was the striking Rufous Motmot who perched on a



branch directly in front of us displaying its long tail in a pendulum-like motion. Then, more species started to appear,

Streak-capped Treehunter, Chestnut-capped Brush-finch and Scaled Antpitta. A pair of Zeledon’s Antbird stole

the show next foraging directly in front of us, allowing for close-up views of that diagnostic pale blue periocular skin.

As the light levels rose, White-throated Quail-dove also made an appearance. As the birds had had their fill we

headed back to the lodge to have our breakfast. By the time we got back to the lodge though it was agreed that

breakfast could wait, as Toucan Barbet, Red-headed Barbet, Golden Grosbeak, Golden-napped and Golden

Tanager amongst others could be seen just feet away.

After breakfast we took

a thirty-minute drive

from the lodge to the

Upper Tandayapa

Valley; once there we

set out along the dirt

road in search of some

exciting species. Within

minutes we had seen

Azara’s Spinetail,

Dusky Chlorospingus,

Gorgeted Sunangel,

Speckled

Hummingbird and the

songful Grey-breasted

Wood-Wren. As we

walked further along

the road we could hear

the unmistakable call of

Andean Pygmy-Owl, it

was close, really close.

We all stood silently

whilst José called to

attract its attention; it came out of trees above us and headed out over to a large tree about 200 m away. Whilst

José called, I scanned the tree, desperately trying to catch a glimpse of this stunning little beast so that the whole

group could appreciate it. After a few moments, ‘THERE!’, I had it! Sat perfectly in a tiny window framed by leaves,

was a rufous morph Andean Pygmy-owl (Photo above by Nina Hale). We had it in the scope, but as if it knew we

wanted more, it flew back across the road and perched just above us giving us all great views.



As we continued along the road we came across a small flock consisting of Spectacled Whitestart, Slate-Throated

Whitestart, Three-striped Warbler and the stunning Pearled Treerunner. Hearing a feeding flock further down the

track, we approached to find foraging Beryl-spangled Tanager, Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager, Western

Hemispingus, Black-crested Warbler and Brown-capped Vireo. The flock soon moved on and so did we, only to

discover another larger flock. Six Grey-breasted Wood-wren could be heard and seen flicking about in the shrub

layer, whilst Hooded Mountain-Tanager skirted the branches overhead. Glimpses of the charming Rufous-headed

Pygmy-tyrant could be made as it made its way through the branches and Yellow-bellied Chat-tyrant showed well

for a few moments whilst Turquoise Jay called from their perches in the canopy. As the mist and rain set in we

continued, determined to bag some more species before lunch. Another flock, this time consisting of Blue-capped

Tanager, Capped Conebill, Streaked Tuftedcheek and White-tailed Tyrannulet all flicking through the trees above

us. With still a little time to go before lunch we carried on, one member of the group lagged behind to photograph

some of the wonderful flora that lined the road. If only we had all stayed with him to admire the flowers, as three

Plate-billed Mountain Toucan perched in the trees above him before taking flight directly overhead. We all admired

(envied) his photographs as we headed back to the lodge for lunch.

The afternoon brought torrential downpours so we took full advantage of birding around the lodge. With the likes of

Crimson-rumped Toucanet (Photo below by Emma Juxon), Slaty Antwren and the adorable Ornate Flycatcher, we

weren’t complaining. Once the rain had subsided, a little, we birded the driveway which gave us some great views of

White-tailed Tyrannulet, Metalic-green Tanager and Smoke-colored Peewee. A short walk down to Tandayapa

village meant that we were able to see a pair of Torrent Tyrannulet as they worked along the rocks in the middle of

the river.



As the light was disappearing we hopped into the bus and headed to a site where a much-awaited nightjar was

known to venture. As the darkness was falling, churring could be heard from the slope above us. We played the call,

which was swiftly followed by the stunningly elegant silhouette of a male Lyre-tailed Nightjar. Perching high in the

vines we were able to see that incredible tail in the torch light; what a way to end the day!

January 17 – Rio Silanche enterance road and Rio Silanche Reserve: Our early breakfast meant that we were a

little bleary eyed as we settled into our seats on the bus. Our first official birding site of the day was to be the Rio

Silanche entrance road, I say official because we took a pit-stop at a nearby petrol station which delivered some

good birds! A pair of Masked Water Tyrant were seen as we pulled into the station, then we saw what was to be

the first of many Lemon-rumped Tanager.

Once on the road we were

immediately met by a

menagerie of birds, 75

species along the entire

stretch of road to be exact!

What a morning, there were

so many staggering birds but

the highlights without doubt

had to include Olivacious

Piculet, Pacific Parrotlet,

Pale-mandibled Aracari, the

rodent-like Squirrel Cuckoo

and Yellow-tailed Oriole.

Not to mention the superb

array of tanagers, Swallow,

Blue-necked, Bay-headed,

Tawny-crested and Golden-

hooded being the all-round

favorites. The ever-eagle-

eyed José surprised us all

with great scope views of a

male Three-toed Sloth in

the canopy of a distant tree.

Clearly enjoying the morning

sunshine, it was amusing to see him lay almost completely flat on his back as he took a nap; it’s hard work being a

sloth you know! We also encountered Nine-banded Armadillo along the road but it skulked off into the



undergrowth as soon as it saw us coming. Another highlight of the morning was a fantastic Ribboned Brittle Snake

(photo previous page by E. Juxon).

After a busy and hot morning birding the road we made our way to the Rio Silanche Reserve. Tucking into our

boxed lunches in the shade we could hear the distinctive sound of the White-bearded Manakin lek, with a few

showing us their display as we ate. After lunch we made our way to the top of the observation tower; although we

had some fantastic species, Masked Tityra, Green Honeycreeper and Cinnamon Woodpecker, a nesting pair of

striking Scarlet-rumped Cacique made it difficult to focus on anything else (Photo below of Scarlet-rumped Cacique

nest by Emma Juxon). After about an hour scanning from the tour, we took a looped trail around the reserve. Here we

came across Barred Puffbird, White-whiskered Puffbird, Scarlet-browed Tanager, Black-striped Woodcreeper,

Purple-throated Fruitcrow and the endemic Chocó Toucan. We made our way back to Tandayapa after a brilliant

long days birding, stopping along the Silanche road for Orange-fronted Barbet and a small flock of nicely perched

bronze-winged parrot.



January 18 – Milpe Bird Sanctuary, Mirador Rio Blanco Resturant and Upper Tandayapa Valley: Arriving at Milpe

Bird Sanctuary, part of the nongovernmental organization of the Mindo Cloud Forest Foundation, we took full

advantage of the already bustling feeders around the lodge. Here we added a few stunners to our hummingbird list,

including White-necked Jacobin, Green-crowned Brilliant, White-whiskered Hermit and the dainty Green

Thorntail. Perched high, overlooking the feeders was a Tiny Hawk which sat beautifully allowing for some great

scope views.

The manakin trail proved to be incredibly

fruitful that particular morning; within

minutes we could hear the distinctive

violin-like sound produced by the male

Club-winged manakin. Hearing it is one

thing but being able to stand and watch

the display is quite another. Lifting their

wings back above their heads as they

hop along the branches it’s no wonder

this impressive little guy was bird of the

trip! Leaving the manakins behind we

continued down the trail, Golden-bellied

(Chocó) Warbler showed for a few

moments and then Broad-billed Motmot

sat on a higher branch for us all to get great views. Heading down into a gully we came across a flock with Golden-

winged Manakin, Tropical Parula, Gray and Gold Tanager, Scaly-throated Foliage-gleaner, Buff-fronted Foliage-

gleaner, Yellow-throated Chlorospingus, Slaty-capped Flycatcher and White-shouldered Tanager. As we

continued things went quiet for a while, then as we were nearing the end of the trail we happened upon an

immense feeding flock working its way around the area. With the likes of Red-faced Spinetail (Photo above by Nancy

Hedgespeth), Lineated Foliage-gleaner, Russet Antshrike, Plain Xenops, Cinnamon Becard, Silver-throated

Tanager, the bizarre looking Brown-billed Scythebill and a Laughing Falcon observing the flock with us, we left the

reserve feeling very satisfied and ready for lunch.



We took lunch at the Mirador Rio Blanco Restaurant which

boasts great views, welcoming staff, delicious food and

terrific fruit feeders to boot! Looking out across the

landscape Swallow-tailed Kite were soaring, the fruit

feeders were in constant use by Blue-gray Tanager, Silver-

throated Tanager, Flame-rumped Tanager, Thick-billed

Euphonia and Ecuadorian Thrush. After a tasty lunch and

spending some time around the feeders we made our way

back to Tandayapa Bird Lodge via the Upper Tandayapa

Valley to try and catch up with some more species. We

stopped to walk the road for a while; there was excitement

when up in the canopy we had the much-desired Plate-

billed Mountain-Toucan! What an absolute stunner! The

same patch gave us Streak-headed Antbird, Green-and-

black Fruiteater, and White-tailed Tyrannulet. Making our

way further along the Upper Tandayapa Valley we were

delighted to see a very cooperative White-faced Nunbird

who sat and posed nicely for the photographers amongst

us. Proving to be a good spot we also had views of the

incredible Flame-faced Tanager (Photo right by Bob

Shelton), Flavescent Flycatcher and Sepia-brown Wren.

January 19 – Mashpi Amagusa Reserve, Mashpi Road and Tandayapa Bird Lodge: Keeping a look out as we made

the two-hour journey to the Mashpi Amagusa Reserve we passed a family of Smooth-billed Ani taking in the

morning sun in a roadside tree, then a little further along the road the bus came to a stop. José told us all to step

off the bus, so we knew it must be good; perched at the top of a telegraph pole a stunning Bat Falcon. Arriving at

the reserve we were greeted by Doris the owner, who lead us up to the feeders. This has to have been one of our

favorite spots, we didn’t know where to look, with hummingbird feeders on one side and fruit feeders on the other,

the whole place was sprinkled with colour. The hummingbird feeders were busy with the absolutely breathtaking

Velvet-purple Coronet, I can’t stress enough how simply gorgeous this bird is. The beautiful Empress Brilliant was

also present in good numbers, along with Golden-collared Honeycreeper (Photo on next page by Bob Shelton). The

fruit feeders were attracting some insanely colourful tanagers like Black-chinned Mountain-Tanager, Moss-backed

Tanager, Rufous-throated Tanager and the mind-blowing eye-wateringly-good Glistening-green Tanager. In the

foliage surrounding the feeders there were Olive-crowned Yellowthroat, Black-billed Peppershrike and the petite

Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant.



After spending a couple of

hours at the feeders we

took a walk along the

Mashpi road which quickly

produced the striking

Orange-breasted

Fruiteater. A female Lyre-

tailed Nightjar sat

motionless on a gated wall,

although not possessing

the elaborate tail of the

male it’s still a fantastic bird

to behold and appreciate

that camouflage (Photo below by Nancy Hedgespeth). Around the area there were also Bay Wren, Indigo

Flowerpiercer and Maroon-tailed Parakeet. With still time before lunch we headed back towards the reserve and

walked the road in the opposite direction. Here we saw Pacific Tuftedcheek, Spotted Woodcreeper, Bronzy-olive

Pygmy-Tyrant to name a few. Feeling ready for our boxed lunches we hopped back on the bus and went to great

view point to relax for a while and chat about a great morning. Still hungry for a few more birds we made our way

down another road and had some great views of Barred Hawk flying overhead, Esmeraldas Antbird, Orange-billed

Sparrow and beautiful views of Barred Puffbird.



January 20 – Paz de las Aves, Calacali and Quito Airport Pond: Saying our goodbyes to the wonderful Tandayapa

Bird Lodge we piled on the bus ready for what the morning at the renowned Paz de las Aves would have in store for

us. Arriving just at daybreak, we could hear the unmistakable calls of the Cock-of-the-rock (Photo below by Bob

Shelton) lek. As the light levels rose we were able to see the intense red plumage of the seven-male Cock-of-the-rock

displaying to any onlooking female. It’s hard to take your eyes off such a bizarre looking and sounding bird,

although we did for a few moments as a male Masked Trogon perched the trees above us and Golden-headed

Quetzal could also be seen across the valley.

As we made our way back up, a scope was put on something in the distance, where two Rufous-bellied Nighthawks

sat perfectly camouflaged on a bromeliad covered branch. Angel Paz led us to a family of Dark-backed Wood-Quail,

it was fantastic to see three chicks coming out of the undergrowth to feed on the banana. Back on the bus we made

our way through the farmland making stops where Angel knew we might find those legendary antpittas. Our first of

the day, the Yellow-breasted Antpitta, then the very showy Chestnut-crowned Antpitta and lastly the very sweet-

looking Ochre-breasted Antpitta; three species in one morning, fantastic! Once we were all “pitta’d” out we headed

to the lodge for a very tasty second breakfast. Birding around the lodge was great too, with the likes of Barred

Becard, Wedge-billed Hummingbird, Velvet-purple Coronet and Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager coming very



close. After we’d had our fill of birds and empanadas we made one more stop down a small trail. There in a clearing

on a dead tree trunk sat a Common Potoo (Photo below by Emma Juxon).

Heading back to Quito we stopped off at Calacali,

where we began to have our boxed lunch but were

quickly distracted by American Kestrel, Common

Ground Dove, the stunning Golden-rumped

Euphonia, Blue-and-yellow Tanager, Black-tailed

Trainbearer, Sparkling Violetear and Band-tailed

Seedeater. After spending an hour or so enjoying

the dry temperate forest species, it was time for us

to head to our hotel for the night and sadly where

we were to say goodbye to those not joining us for

the High Andes Extension.

A quick stop to check out the airport pond left us

with a few new species to add to our final list,

including Andean Gull and Andean Coot. We then

made our way to Puembo where we would spend

the night, ready for the High Andes Extension.

January 21 – Antisana National Park, Papallacta

Pass and Guango Lodge: A vast and exciting new

ecosystem awaited us today as we made our way to

the paramo grasslands of the high Andes. Making a

few stops before heading for our main target of the

day, we picked up Variable Hawk, Black-winged Ground-Dove, Brown-backed Chat-Tyrant and Chestnut-winged

Cinclodes. Enjoying the new landscape and views we hopped back on the bus and headed for a look out at the

Antisanilla Reserve on the western slopes of the incredible Antisana Volcano. Here we had fantastic views of

Ecuador’s national bird, the regal Andean Condor. You couldn’t help but be in absolute awe of these majestic birds;

a male perched on a cliff face across the gorge as two others soared over the mountainside. Bagging our main

target so early, we were hungry for more and headed for the paramo grasslands for try for some specialties. A quick

stop near small river delivered a female Ecuadorian Hillstar, Variable Hawk, Sedge (Grass) Wren and Andean Tit-

Spinetail.



Heading further into the reserve and scanning the vast paramo grasslands we started to pick up other target species.

Eight Black-faced (Andean) Ibis provided decent views as they were surrounded by Carunculated Caracara and two

Andean Lapwings (Photo below by Nina Hale).

As we continued along the road we came to a stop as a Culpeo (Andean Fox) (Photo on next page by Emma Juxon)

provided incredible views as it walked through the grass approximately 50m away. We also had good views of

White-tailed Deer and the abundant Tapeti (Brazilian Rabbit). The road through the protected area leads to a large

lake called La Mica, by the time we got there the weather was closing in and the visibility was less to be desired but

we did pick up Andean Ruddy Duck, Silvery Grebe, many more Andean Coot and Andean Gull. Leaving the lake

behind we stopped near a stream where a few Andean Teal were sat taking a nap. Before lunch our bird list was

growing as we added Many-striped Canastero, Paramo Ground Tyrant, Stout-billed Cinclodes, Plumeous Sierra-

Finch and amazing views of Tawny Antpitta to add to the list.



We took a traditional Ecuadorian lunch at Tambo Condor, where yet again we were distracted from our food by the

fantastic feeders and views. With Andean Condor flying over-head and Giant Hummingbird coming to the feeders

for close-up views we were spoilt for choice of which beast to look at first! After lunch we decided to take a drive

towards Papallacta, the weather was, well rather wet and windy to say the least but we took one of the side roads to

try for Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe. The winding road took us to 14000ft (4300m), sadly the visibility at the top was

about 30m, but some of us left the shelter of the bus to try and find the seedsnipe. After much searching and feeling

pretty chilled to say the least we aborted the search for the day and headed to our accommodation for the night.

We arrived at Guango Lodge, a lovely little place at an elevation of approximately 8000ft in the upper Amazon Basin

on the Eastern Andean Slope. It was almost dark but we were able to enjoy the feeders for a few minutes before we

lost the light, finishing the day with Tourmaline Sunangel and Long-tailed Sylph.

January 22 – Guango Lodge, Cayambe/Cocoa National Park, EMAAP Road and Papallacta Pass: We started the

day making the most of the feeders around the lodge, with Chestnut-breasted Coronet, Mountain Velvetbreast

(Photo on next page by Nancy Hedgespeth) and White-bellied Woodstar adding themselves to our hummingbird list.

The tuxedo wearing Collared Inca and weapon-bearing Sword-billed Hummingbird attracted everyone’s attention

once more though. With the weather still looking a little miserable to say the least we decided to spend the morning

around the lodge and took one of the trails along the river. There were a few good flocks along the trails which

allowed for great views of Lacrimose Mountain-Tanager, Buff-breasted Mountain-Tanager, Blue-and-black

Tanager, Black-eared Hemispingus, and Gray-browed Brushfinch. Walking down to the river’s edge we saw two

White-capped Dipper working along the rocks and just a glimpse of ‘the duck’ by José. On our way back to the

lodge we saw our second cacique species, Mountain Cacique, which was calling from a nearby tree. We were also



treated to sightings of the almost comical Long-tailed Weasel who was clearly very busy as it ran back and forth

crossing an opening ahead of us.

With there being no change in the weather we decided to it was now or never to leave the lodge behind us and

make our way to a few sites to try for some more species before heading back to Quito. Most of the group decided

to stay on the bus whilst a few of us managed to get views of Viridian Metaltail near a small flock consisting of

White-banded Tyrannulet, White-throated Tyrannulet, Cinnamon Flycatcher, Pale-naped Brushfinch. The

beautiful Rufous-breasted Chat-tyrant was also seen sat near the top of some bushes. Some of the group wanted

to try for the seedsnipe again despite the weather conditions, so we headed back up to the cloud-covered peak to

see what we could find. Sadly, despite our best efforts the seedsnipe were nowhere to be found, but we had a good

laugh looking for them! (Photo on next page by Nancy Hedgespeth)



Note to self: Do not turn yourself into a human parachute again by wearing a poncho in high winds at 14000ft

Making our way along the Papallacta Pass in the direction of Quito, we stopped to look down upon a lake where

there were Yellow-billed Pintail, Blue-winged Teal, a flock of Andean Teal, Greater Yellowlegs and several perching

Neotropic Cormorants. Further along the pass we observed a Variable Hawk feeding on what was probably a

Tapeti in the middle of the grassland. It was time to make our way back to our hotel near Quito where we would do

our list one last time and say our farewells after what was a truly wonderful trip. We had to stop one last time

though to scan some yuca that had recently been munched by a Spectacled Bear; the bear was nowhere to be seen

but the Andes had definitely left us with an excuse to come back.

Final List:

Summary

The full trip list reached a total of 370 species recorded, 324 of which were recorded during the main tour and 46

were added during the High Andes Extension; 28 were heard only, marked (H) and 5 were seen only by the guides,

marked (G). See the next pages for the full list.
