Walking along Guayaquil parks we found a few birds. Most of them couldn't be pictured, they were either too far or too fast :(
Anyway, on this post I'll show you some of the guys we found, please click to enlarge the pics and sorry for the poor quality...
First one, this guy hiding in a HUGE ficus, grabbing a seed that he dropped later on... 
... then he went seeking for more...
... he stopped right in front of us (we were on a bridge, trying to get as close as possible), and with our max possible zoom this is what we got...
We continued walking and found this other guy, some kind of heron? I have no idea, I'm such a begginer with just one small guide for my local city! hahaha... Totally clueless but hopefully not for long ;)
At the 'Parque Histórico' we found some colourful guys that will be posted soon. For now I'll leave you with these (also trying to id them!)
Most of this post's pics are kind of a 'Where's Waldo?' game, trying to find the bird or birds in a small bad pic (click to enlarge), like the following... Can you find the two birdies here?
This guy was huge! Couldn't get any closer pics, we were WAY DOWN in the ground, anyone can guess what it is??? HELP!
And finally these fellows, in the 'Jardines del Malecón' (Gardens of the Malecon)
See you in the next post! Have to go now, family is waiting to have lunch!

Caminando por Guayaquil
2008/03/12
De camino a Guayaquil, ¡Ecuador!
Good things can come out of bad ones and this is the proof.
A stressing family matter ended up with a trip to Guayaquil (for Tommy and Mel) for this weekend! (Long story that might be shared in the future)
We'll be out from the 14th to the 18th, and although we'll have a hard time due to the lack of money, we'll try to make our best to enjoy the trip.
We can't afford moving out of Guayaquil, our budget is LIMITED, so, it will be a challenge!
I know that some of the birder bloggers that visit me every now and then have been to Ecuador in the past, so, this is also a challenge for them: Help me with information on places that we could visit to find birds, without leaving the city or if so, without spending a lot of money!
(I'm nervous and excited at the same time!)
