Wednesday, March 14

Today was a meeting day, but rather than getting lunch between UEES and ESPOL, I grabbed a cab to spend an hour at the botanical gardens on the north side of Guayaquil. The cab driver agreed to meet me at the entrance after he ate lunch, so I left most of my stuff in the taxi. I changed into a t-shirt and tried to move slowly so as not to completely drench myself. Not much time and one could only hope for so much in the mid-day heat, but I nevertheless added Fascinated Wren and One-colored Becard to my list. Considering I had not expected much good birding in the city, I managed 6 new birds over the two days.
