La Brisa and Hollin Waterfall Hummingbirds

We explore the East slope area, working through east Andean cloud forest, subtropical foothills, lodge gardens, moth traps, and forest-edge trails. The pace is unhurried, with time to listen, watch movement in the vegetation, and choose positions that give birds space to approach naturally. Birds and wildlife we may look for include San Isidro Owl, White-bellied Antpitta, Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Wire-crested Thorntail, Gould's Jewelfront, Many-banded Aracari, tanagers, fruiteaters, and antbirds.

Birds we may look for include White-throated Quail Dove.
