About the Area:
Zuro Loma Reserve, a relatively new birding site whose claim to fame is the presence of ant-pitta feeders for three species: Equatorial, Chestnut-crowned, and Chestnut-naped, the latter a particularly tough bird to see. The show starts every day around 8am until around 10am. It is also possible to explore the 3 main trails to observe Hummingbird feeders, views to Guagua Pichincha Volcano and other species like White-throated Screech Owl.
Mealworm feeder stations: The mealworm feeders are the site for two of the three antpittas and head down a somewhat steep but dry trail for the third species, Equatorial Antpitta.
Nectar feeder stations: The hummingbird feeders are active, with Mountain Velvetbreast, Sapphire-vented Puffleg, Buff-winged Starfrontlet, White-bellied Woodstar, the Sword-billed Hummingbird, and many metaltails. Also several species of flowerpiercers including Masked, Glossy and Black take advantage of the plentiful resource.
Fruit feeder stations: The fruit feeders can attract Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager, Blue-capped Tanager, and Yellow-breasted and Gray-browed Brushfinch.
General Vicinity species: Bushes in the vicinity can attract quite a few birds, including White-banded Tyrannulet, Cinnamon Flycatcher, and Red-crested Cotinga as well as Masked and Glossy Flowerpiercers.
