Night Owls of the Tandayapa Valley - Oilbirds Rocking the Nest!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Tui De Roy, we witness a mesmerizing scene straight out of an avian wonderland. High up in the Ecuadorian Andes, amidst lush farmland and at an altitude of 1500m, a male-female pair of Oilbirds have found their perfect love nest. These nocturnal creatures have chosen to roost and nest along the walls of a deep and narrow gorge. As darkness descends upon the tropical tropics, these fascinating vertebrates come alive! With their sleek bodies blending seamlessly into the shadows, they gracefully flutter through the night sky in search of food for their growing family. Their unique nesting behavior is truly a sight to behold - meticulously crafting nests that cling precariously to vertical surfaces. The oilbirds' reproductive prowess is on full display as they navigate their way through this rugged terrain. With each passing day, their bond grows stronger as they work tirelessly together to ensure successful offspring production. It's no surprise that these enchanting birds have become local celebrities in this picturesque valley. Their mysterious allure has captivated both nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. So next time you find yourself exploring Ecuador's breathtaking landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for these night owls perched high above – it's an experience you won't want to miss!
