Puerto Lopez, Rio Blanco - 5 Aug

Going inland from Puerto Lopez is a road that takes you to Rio Blanco. From here several radiate, with guides to show people around. Unfortunately, due mainly to my poor Spanish, arrangements were confused. I therefore walked the road from Rion Blanco back to Puerto Lopez twice, about 10km. The birding was excellent and varied however!

Best birds: Rufous-headed Chachlaca, White-tipped Dove, Whooping Motmot, Ecuadorian Piculet, Collared Antshrike, Red-billed Scythebill, Streak-headed Woodcreeper, Necklaced Spinetail, Yellow-bellied Elaenia, Tawny-crowned Pygmy-Tyrant, Common Tody Flycatcher, Baird's Flycatcher, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, Fasciated Wren, Superciliated Wren, Speckle-breasted Wren, Plumbeous-backed Thrush, Tropical Parula, Lemon-rumped Tanager, Streaked Saltator, Black-capped Sparrow, Hepatic Mountain-Tanager, Golden Grosbeak, White-edged Oriole, Thick-billed Euphonia.
