oops, looks like i DID get to see the sword-billed at Guango Lodge after all:

Our bus stopped off at Guango Lodge for just a couple hours due to a temporary road closure ahead, and I didn't get to see the sword-billed.

Sorry, I should have said that all five photos were taken at Guango Lodge in Ecuador.

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5

this bird was photographed (at a distance) at Paz de las Aves near Mindo, Ecuador, 12/25/18

this bird was photographed 12/23/18 near Mindo, Ecuador

Thanks very much!

There were some elusive birds yesterday that didn't want me to get a good shot. I wonder if you all can help me learn what I got only a glimpse of? These were taken at Bayou Sauvage Nat'l Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans: #1 #2 Perhaps this is the same guy as #1? #3 #4 #5 this might be another view of #3

Looks like I shot a photo of this guy an hour earlier
