We arrived Quito a day earlier than suggested, even though an extra day was already built into the itinerary as a contingency for delays. Our first day was spent recovering from our flight (made more difficult by the altitude). While we were exploring Old Town, we wandered into a tourist information place where I immediately noted some beautiful hummingbird figurines. I remarked that too bad there weren't hummingbirds in the Galapagos! Knowing how much I love hummingbirds, my husband suggested that we go on a tour to the cloud forest the next day. "But we're supposed to meet up with our group tomorrow morning," I demurred. "Oh, Stephen and Ellie already know us, and we can get the details when we get back for dinner. We can leave them a message," he reassured me.
Hah! Can you imagine that I had to be convinced to see hummingbirds? My husband insisted that he'd rather see the cloud forest than do more street photography. So we went to Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve for the day and really enjoyed ourselves. We were informed that there weren't as many hummingbirds around because it was summer. In the winter, the rain dilutes the nectar content of the flowers, so many come visit the feeders at the Reserve. Still, there were enough hummingbirds visiting to make me happy.
This is a Gorgeted Sunangel. Not sure if he's angelic, as we know hum birds can be feisty. But he is certainly gorgeous.
