Bird Photography in Ecuador 

🐦 4. Species‑Specific Photography Tips

Why this matters: Many photographers travel to Ecuador for target species.

• Hummingbirds (wing blur vs. freeze, backgrounds, feeders)

• Antpittas (low light, baited setups, ethics)

• Tanagers (color management, mixed flocks)

• Raptors (soaring vs. perched strategies)

• Parrots & Clay Licks (burst mode, timing, angles)
