Our neighborhood Mot Mot often stops by during breakfast here in the Quijos Valley, Ecuador. #birds

Every one should have a volcano in their backyard. :-) #reventadorvolcsno #quijos #paraisoescondido

The gallo de la pena. One of the many males that gather twice a day at our lek here in the Quijos Valley. #avesecuador #addBirder

“Please ignore me!” Lovely #cocoon of a #moth in the family #Urodidae from NE #Ecuador. The thin stalk may provide protection from roving #ants & the open-weave, net-like cocoon is supposed to discourage fungal growth (it was wet when photographed). In 30 yrs, I’ve seen just 3 even remotely like it.

“One of those pictures”. One you hoped you might have a chance to capture, one you worked for (kneeling in a muddy trail to get the angle) & one you had to get before the subjects flew away. Got it.
