BIRDING, black solitaire bird ecuador, blue &black tanager ecuador, Ebird, GLOBAL BIG DAY, things to do this weekend
Rio Cinto – Mindo Ecuador: This little Olive-crowned Yellowthroat allowed an extensive photo session before resuming its day!
From Ebird: “All you have to do is submit the birds you see on May 14th to eBird, and you’ll be a part of the global team! Wherever you are, your sightings can make a difference.”
Mindo Ecuador – My friend Cynthia and I were comparing bird stories this past week, and we both agreed that the local birds seem to be in a frenzy of activity! Maybe they’re excited about the upcoming Ebird – Global Big Day? Don’t let your own special birds be ignored. Give them a voice on Saturday, May 14!
This Streak-headed Woodcreeper took a vacation from lower elevations and visted the cooler climate of the Cinto property!
The Blue and Black Tanager took a vacation from higher elevations and visited the property this week! Poor photo, but it documents that the Blue & Black T was definitely on holiday vacation!
You might have a unique species in your backyard; without taking time to inventory your feathered neighbors, how will they be acknowledged?
The VIP for the week is the Black Solitaire, but its cousin the Andean Solitaire hangs around the thrushes and tanagers for its daily count!
The Beryl-Spangled Tanager is a beauty! What camera-shy birds lurk in the shadows of your area?

I’ve taken part in several bird censuses, so I shall add my sightings to this one, too. Great photos as usual.
hope you had a good day of birding.. it was pretty here until 2… gotta run.. it’s raining hard and i need to return to the property..
Saw a flock of about a dozen ibis, flying over the house and being harassed by the crows from our local rookery yesterday evening, that was very cool.
Oh, so beautiful!
