msilver2 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Sorry, I should have said that all five photos were taken at Guango Lodge in Ecuador. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have experience separating Sunangel species, but just based off of range, this must be a Tourmaline Sunangel. I’m very jealous that you went to Guango Lodge — could you find the Sword-billed Hummingbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msilver2 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy_incognito Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Agree with akandula's IDs. Bummer you didn't get the Sword-billed there, but hopefully you saw it elsewhere. Try for Torrent Duck at Guango? It is supposed to be a better spot, but I tried a few times and never had luck getting one there. We did eventually connect with some a couple hours drive further down the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
