On Monday September 9, 2024 Kevin McGrath will present The Bucket Birding Adventure Group's 19-Day birding tour of southern Ecuador. A group of 8 club members flew to Guayaquil Ecuador on June 21 and spent 19 days traveling over 1000 miles along the border with Peru to see over 525 species of endemic, unusual, and some rare local specialties as well as a smattering of North American migrants. 

The presenter and trip organizer Kevin McGrath is a retired Environmental Hydrogeologist who spent his career in the Capital District protecting and/or remediating the Hudson and Mohawk River system. He has been an active birder, club member, field trip leader, and past president. This is the second trip to Ecuador he has organized for a group from the club. We hope you will enjoy hearing about and seeing part of the photolog of this amazing once in a life-time adventure.
