Enjoying my time here in my home country Ecuador!

Staying here for about two weeks have been a blast. I did not expect so many observations and new species. Every single day, I have been getting observations. From an American Crocodile to a Pale-legged Hornero. To bad these days are coming to a close. Leaving tommorow afternoon back to my town West New York. But that would not stop me from my challenge. Getting at least one observation every single day. Wish I statyed here longer. Animals here have been facinating and incredible. I never thought I was going to get observations of animals I only could dream about. Well nature told me wrong. It is crazy what mother nature could hit you with. Well, I may start becoming less active in inaturalist, because of educational reasons, but I would try my best to keep posting and uploading observations.
