Northern Arizona Audubon Monthly Program presents: Birds and Bears of Ecuador by Alice Madar

Alice Madar is an avid wildlife photographer and has enjoyed several photography trips to South America. In this presentation she will focus on Ecuador, where she not only encountered a wide variety of birds, but also the shy, elusive Spectacled Bears, the only bears in South America. Ecuador, a little smaller than Arizona, hosts three times as many bird species – more 1600, and 152 hummingbird species! As the Executive Director of the International Hummingbird Society, Alice’s particular focus is hummingbirds, but she will share photos and insights on a wide range of bird species that live in Ecuador’s Andes mountains, Amazon basin, cloud forests, and Galápagos Islands.
