There was also a female Black-tailed Trainbearer in the area.

You can see the curve of the bill of the female Black-tailed Trainbearer. Andres said this is indicative of the Black-tailed, which is more common in this area, versus the straight bill of the less common Green-tailed.

At Reserva Yanacoche, we stopped first at the feeders, where we saw this Glossy Flowerpiercer.

I debated on whether or not to put all the photos of one species together, but settled on posting them in the order we saw them (or in which I photographed them).

Buff-winged Starfrontlet

These two Buff-winged Starfrontlets chased each other around near the feeders for several seconds. One finally landed on the ground and the other flew off to land on a nearby low bush.

Some of the Shining Sunbeams look like they have little religious collars in front.

We left the feeders and walked up the trail to the left of the entrance sign. I went back to the hummingbird feeders before the end of the trail and Jerry Davis got this photo after I left the group.

The fog started rolling in, as it is wont to do in the cloudforest, but it did not conceal the back colors of the Shining Sunbeam.

After leaving Reserva Yanacoche and heading for Sachatamia Lodge, we stopped along Rio Alambi to see a White-capped Dipper.

We also spotted a Collared Inca, though he didn't show us much of his collar.

Farther along, we saw one, then several Band-tailed Pigeons in a distant tree in the fog.

The Speckled Hummingbird was another nice find.

At another stop, we saw a pair of Golden-bellied Flycatchers, one collecting nesting material.

One of the birds of the day was this Torrent Duck on the river.
