I will Bee posting a lot of photographs that are green in color in the coming days because Ecuador is very green. Pun intended.

Another shot from Ama Ecolodge. I love this photograph and I think it represents a photography style that I have created for myself very well.

The first stop I made in Ecuador was at Ama Ecolodge (@amalodge.ec) where we found a couple Spider Monkeys to photograph.

I took a bunch of shots of this Equatorial Antpitta and I thought this particular pose was one of the most fun. This is a resident of Zuro Loma Reserve (@zuro_loma_reserve) which is owned by Dario’s family, our local Ecuadorian guide. This property was one of my favorites that we have visited so far.

Here is the first of many photos to come from Ecuador. This photograph is for my wife. She loves owls and so do I. Pygmy Owls in particular are a special bird to us so I worked really hard to get this photograph for her since she did not join me on this adventure.  There was a very bushy tree or two in front of me but I found a small opening so that I could capture this photo.

Our friend Dennis from Costa Rica, who is a nature/wildlife/birding guide and amazing photographer himself (@geoexpeditionscr_), invited us to join his first group birding tour in Ecuador after deciding to expand his business to another country. Since this trip is focused on photography my wife decided to stay home with our dog Maple while I came to Ecuador to capture exotic Nature Content for you. I’m still currently here as of this post. It has been really great but very long hours so finding time to sort and develop my photographs has been challenging.

Our local guide Dario (@dario_hipo_wild_photography) found this Andean Pygmy Owl for us. He has also been an amazing guide and I hope to work with him again in the future.

A lot more to come from Ecuador!
