Alan and Ruth have been at Sacha Lodge for five days now. I haven't heard anything from them, so I can only assume that Marcelo Andy, their Sacha guide, is working them like slaves! Or perhaps Sacha's internet connection is playing up... Marcelo is an unbelievable birder with eyes that just might put a Peregrine to shame. Sacha is giving them their full support, and I'm sure Alan and Ruth will come back with a tremendous list. Tomorrow at noon they return to Quito to continue their Andean birding, and if we can find an internet cafe in Baeza, they will give a more detailed update.
