In Mindo, Ecuador, the New View group finds a full assortment of birds everywhere. We particularly enjoy a garden open to the public especially crafted with a viewing deck and an awning to get out of the rain. I jot a few names down as we watch the pale mandy, chocu toucans, golden tanagers, and parrots flying in flocks overhead. The golden headed ketzel – kitzel has a loud call for its tiny frame.
