Many of North America's nesting birds spend the winter in tropical regions throughout the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico. Although the island measures only 35 miles north to south and 100 miles east to west - about two-thirds the size of Connecticut - over 350 bird species have been recorded there. Of these, about 120 are nesting, while 93 are considered accidental and 35 introduced. Puerto Rico also features 16 endemic species, which is more than the 11 endemics in the entire Lower 48 States! Twenty-five species endemic to the West Indies can also be found there. Enjoy a winter getaway to warm tropical breezes among great bird species like Elfin Woods Warbler, Puerto Rican Tody, and the extremely rare Puerto Rican Parrot. Leader: Michelle Ekman

With its equatorial latitude and several distinct climates, Ecuador offers an amazing variety of birdlife: over 1,600 species, about 20 percent of the world's numbers - more diversity in less space than any other country in the world. The Ecuadorian Amazon is mainly tropical rainforest elevated 1,300 feet above sea level. White its borders contrain a mere slice of the Amazon, its rainforest is diverse, with quiet blackwater lagoons, raging chocolately rivers, dense tree canopies, and flooded forests. As a general rule, the farther you travel from civilization and roads, the more wildlife you'll see. The tour starts in Quito, crosses the Andes, and reaches remote areas of pristine Amazon habitats. Leader: TBD Optional post-trip extensions!
