November 2023 Birders Night -- Birding in Ecuador with Albert Ryckman

Photographer Albert Ryckman takes us on a birding trip to northeast Ecuador.  That area has some of the highest avian diversity, with habitats ranging from near sea level to over 20,000 feet in elevation.  Ecuador has more bird species (1600) than North America and four dozen endemics.  

We shall meet some of the region’s unique species, from Hoatzin to Cock-of-the-Rock.  And we likely will get a peek at the Western Hemisphere’s largest wingspan— Andean Condor!

Dr. Albert Ryckman is an expert bird photographer whose travels have taken him to Iceland, Alaska, the Antarctic, the Mideast, Ecuador, and Malheur in Eastern Oregon.
