Hello Friends - After our nice stay at Bellavista, we transferred to the comfortable Septimo Paradiso Lodge for a 4 night-stay. From here we were able to visit several different habitat zones near Mindo. The first area visited was the Rio Silanche Reserve in the morning and then the vistior center at the Milpe Reserve in the afternoon.
Some of the highlights from the Rio Silanche Reserve were: Crane Hawk, Gray-headed Kite, Bat Falcon, Pallid Dove, Pacific Parrotlet, Lesser Swallow-tailed Swift, Blue-chested Hummingbird, Purple-crowned Fairy, Western White-tailed Trogon, Choco Trogon, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Orange-fronted Barbet, Pale-mandibled Aracari, Choco Toucan, Guayaquil & Red-rumped Woodpeckers, Olivaceous Piculet, Steaked Xenops, Black-striped & Spotted Woodcreepers, Western Slaty-Antshrike, Dot-winged, Checker-throated & White-flanked Antwren, Dusky & Chestnut-backed Antbirds, Purple-throated Fruitcrow, White-bearded Manakin, Greenish Elaenia, Golden-faced Tyrannulet, Slaty-capped Flycatcher, Black-headed Tody-Flycatcher, Streaked, Rusty-margined, Boat-billed, Yellow-margined, Sulphur-rumped & Ruddy-tailed Flycatchers, Masked Water-Tyrant, Band-backed Wren, Slate-throated Gnatcatcher, Olive-crowned Yellowthroat, White-shouldered, Bay-headed, Rufous-winged, Golden-hooded, Gray-and-Gold Tanagers, Blue Dacnis and Green Honeycreeper.
Later at the Milpe Reserve we found: Green-fronted Lancebill, Green Thorntail, Green-crowned Brilliant, Buff-fronted Foliage-Gleaner, Plain-brown Woodcreeper, Ornate & Bran-colored Flycatchers, Snowy-throated Kingbird, Bananaquit, Rufous-throated Tanager and an Orange-billed Sparrow.
