Both the barbet and tanager are listed as "common" or "basically guaranteed" where I am going so I think I will probably be in luck. The penguins for me should be a little harder as it seems to be hit or miss around Lima. None-the-less the trip alone should be great even without the birds!Tim Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632013488170310609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-87710357921182569032012-06-22T10:49:18.097-06:002012-06-22T10:49:18.097-06:00Tim - I was in the Amazon region of Ecuador and in...Tim - I was in the Amazon region of Ecuador and in the Galapagos last month. Saw the Paradise Tanager and the Gilded Barbet. The tanager was spectacular and easy to find when viewing from a Kapok Tree tower. Also saw and swam with the Galapagos Penguins. So weird...penguins in the tropics. Have a great trip! -NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919530680977747632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-74808293888667224752012-06-22T10:30:53.212-06:002012-06-22T10:30:53.212-06:00@anyonymous: Thank you!

That is a great idea to talk about--the hook bird that isn't the actual hook bird. It's kinda funny how that works out right? For me it was just amazing actually seeing one of those gems (Western Tanager) in the forest--every time I See one, it's like the first time. I can't help but get excited.<br /><br />Anyone else care to comment on their non-hook hook bird?Tim Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632013488170310609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954081165153280225.post-47615501709241354022012-06-22T10:15:38.463-06:002012-06-22T10:15:38.463-06:00"it's an effing Penguin in Peru." Ga..."it's an effing Penguin in Peru." Gave me a chuckle. Thanks for the fun pre-trip posts.<br /><br />How 'bout instead of a list, a bird I'm hooked on that isn't my hook bird: Waxwings. Like Shyloh, I can't get over them.
