The Blue-gray Tanager (Thraupis episcopus) is a familiar sight across Ecuador, but a closer look reveals a striking regional variation. In the northwest, these vibrant tanagers lack a white wing patch, while their eastern counterparts proudly display one. This subtle difference makes each sighting a unique experience, showcasing nature’s endless diversity.

Birdwatching is all about uncovering these hidden details, turning an ordinary encounter into an extraordinary discovery. At Birding Explore, our expert-led tours take you deep into Ecuador’s most biodiverse regions, where surprises like this await at every turn. Join us and chase the wild!
