Ecuador ROCKED!

I'm just in the door from an amazing trip to Ecuador and madly trying to fulfill Christmas print orders, selling one house, buying another, planning a wedding and trying to get ready for the holiday season. I wanted to share a couple of images from my adventure in Ecuador with three wonderful hand-picked clients, a terrific bird guide (and host) and 105 species of birds. Be sure to email me to be put on the short list for Ecuador Cloud Forest Adventure in December 2012 - more details soon.

Great photographs. Was this a setup?

Hey Bhupendra,

Thanks. This bird was sitting just above some bananas we had put out to attract birds to our perches.

Keep up the great work with FirstPass - I just upgraded to the newest version.
