We left the Mirador Restaurant around 2pm-ish and decided to keep heading down the same road to Rio Silanche Bird Sanctuary as we were still targeting Rose-faced Parrots and Blue-fronted Parrotlets. Some Maroon-tailed Parakeets would be nice too!
As we left the main road to the access road for the reserve we saw some Bronze-winged Parrots in a tree.
Continuing on, the road is pretty well marked if you are self-driving. Of course Alex, our guide has been here many times and knows it well.
We were there pretty late and the staff had closed up. We were still able to get inside but there was no one there to charge the fees.
We walked down a short trail to the canopy tower.
There are beautiful views over the rainforest but not too many birds around. Maybe the weather was still causing trouble.
A pair of Choco Toucans showed up.
I’m having trouble with some of these as they may be female tanagers which look completely different from the males!

It was looking like rain again so we left after less than an hour at the canopy tower.

We later found out that another guide had been here in the morning and seen a huge flock of Maroon-tailed Parakeets!
If you would like to visit this reserve along with other reserves around Mindo, I can highly recommend Alex Luna who can be reached by email. ayalu_82@hotmail.com
