First bird below is a black-tailed trainbearer. Be sure to zoom in on the first picture to see the long tail on the humming bird.

First day in Quito
We spent most of the day outdoors--temperature about 75 and sunny :) Visited a couple of Indian markets, strolled around the tourist area (lots of shops, restaurants, etc.), and spent a couple of hours at a large park with a beautiful botanical garden. Saw some good birds to start our Ecuador life-list.

beautiful birds - I did zoom in to see the tail - it is unusually long. Continued pleasures! Louise
