I am going to make this very easy- if you  like photographing birds, especially stunningly, startlingly, splendidly spectacularly colorful tanagers, barbets, toucans and hummingbirds at point blank range you would be a darn fool not to accompany Jeff  to Ecuador. I have just returned from the montane forests there and I can tell you that there is no better opportunity to photograph birds with so much ease and comfort than in Ecuador. So don’t be a darn fool and go on this trip, it will blow you away.
