Mindo Area, Ecuador

After a quick night in Quito on our arrival in Ecuador, the next morning we hopped a bus to Mindo where our real adventure began. This gallery contains images we snapped off during our time in the Mindo area.

Wonderful pictures, thanks for posting. The 300mm is really impressive, with the TCll, I assume, since you reach 600mm. I wonder how the exif interprets the TC, mine does not.
(I have the old 300mm (non S).

Thanks Steve. A lot of these were taken just about as close as the lens would focus. In some of the situations I couldn't shoot because the bird came too close to me and the lens wouldn't focus that close, and I couldn't back up. Of course, there was always that far away raptor or treetop-perching toucan that begged for more lens, but 300mm in the forest was often enough and I shot most of the time without the 1.4 or 2x teleconverters I brought along.

John the Andean Emerald shots are superb - you must have been quite close with that 300mm lens. Vote!
