Let’s start Birding!

An early morning stroll along the river can result in 60 species being spotted. Toucans, woodpeckers, seedeaters, becards, wrens, antshrikes, cuckoos, kites, herons, kingfishers, etc. You may be lucky enough to see a spectacle like a Laughing Falcon with a snake in its beak, or an Hornero building its “pizza oven” like nest.

The Gallery

Julie Watson, an Englishwoman living in Ecuador, is a passionate birder and photographer, who has spent the last 8 years searching for the most beautiful birds of Ecuador in the best light, in their natural environment, in order to get a decent snap.

This gallery shows a collection of her best photos of birds of the Puerto Quito area.

All the photos are for sale, either digital versions or print and a percentage of the proceeds will go towards funding the bird and conservation workshops Julie does in small rural schools in the region.

  • Birds are in abundance here in Caoni Riversuites. You only have to relax in a hammock on the balcony for a few minutes to start seeing many birds coming to visit the nearby trees. Birdsong starts before 5am with the low warble of the Rufous Motmot, very soon after followed by chant of the Pygmy Owls and the haunting whistle of the ground dwelling Little Tinamu.

    Then the flying jewels of the different Hummingbird species start to twinkle and sparkle on the balcony and below in the garden, hovering from flower to flower as they start their breakfast routine.
