We saw four flowerpiercer species during the trip. Here are three of them.
Above and below: the Masked Flowerpiercer (Diglossa cyanea).
A really attractive bird.
Above: Glossy Flowerpiercer (Diglossa lafresnayii)
Above: Backlit photo of Indigo Flowerpiercer (Diglossa indigotica). We saw this bird well and, as it turns out, it was a good find. The Indigo occupies a very narrow and small range. This bird was in a feeding flock going through the Mashpi feeding station. When he called it out, Jose's voice pitched up a couple of octaves. As horrible as the photo is, the flowerpiercer bill shape and size is still evident.
