Driver Naturalist Guide

Here we go... 🤟🏼😎

Violet-belied Hummingbird (Chlorestes julie)

One of those flying jewels that (even in a close-up picture) are difficult to fully capture all of its glittering beauty and magnificent presence.
With a distribution between Panama and Ecuador, this wonderful hummingbird is one of my favorites.

Emerald Tanager (Tangara florida)
23/01/2025

One of those uncommon gems of the forest, this tanager can be sighted following mixed flocks and rarely visits feeders.

White-whiskered Puffbird (Malacoptila panamensis)
11/10/2025
One of those easily overlooked dwellers of the forest, often sitting quietly at low levels on the search for insects, it shall display its white whiskers when encounters another bird of the same kind.

Just a few birds from Mindo area to share and enjoy.

As a guide, we all very much appreciate a tip, but when your clients take the time and effort to show you their gratitude in the shape of a thank you note or a little detail, not only you fully understand how much they had enjoyed a tour but makes you feel honored and loved. This is the first time I've got a crochet stuffed gift, please look at this gorgeous Plate-billed Mountain Toucan...I love it to bits, you fully surprised me guys, thank you so much.
