Maria the Diva in Ecuador

[Jacquie Whitt]

On their quest to find out more about the birds of Ecuador, Adios Adventure Travel arranged for the Virginia Beach
Friends School 4th & 5th grade girls get up at 4 am to arrive at
the La Paz reserve, near Mindo, Ecuador, just to see the famous Andean Cock of the Rock. After glimpsing the
colorfully red bird, they continued their march through the jungle where
they saw an even more rare bird, the
giant antpitta. These birds are rarely seen and our girls saw
“Maria” who was coaxed out of the forest by a local caretaker with a
plastic box filled with worms. Maria is so spoiled now, she will only
eat “clean” worms. Even the insides of the worms have to be expelled to
get the dirt out. Maria has become a diva and fans can buy t-shirts
with her name on them.

Thanks for the reminder David. I had to resize our photos before loading. Just loaded a few bird photos. Let me know if you're able to see them.
Thanks,

Hi Jaqui -- a little more description of what the birds look like would be interesting.
