  • We are moving to Ecuador. Join us on our Expat life in Ecuador. We love nature photography and this channel will focus not just on our new lives in Ecuador but also on us capturing this amazingly diverse country. Are you thinking of maybe moving abroad? Are you ready to move out of your comfort zone? Well maybe its time to "Live the Life you Love"

    The bird at minute mark 4:36 Roufas headed chachalaca . I hear these birds calling out on some mornings and it always makes me laugh because it sounds like they are repeating the phrase, WTF, WTF, over and over. Cracks me up everytime lol.

    I like birds. I think it's worth noting that even though Ecuador is smaller in land area than Nevada, the US's seventh largest state, Ecuador has about twice as many bird species compared to the whole of the US.

      Such beautiful photos and video. I was especially excited to hear the rufous headed chachalaca! We live in Puerto Cayo and I hear them (usually after a night rain) across the road from our house. I have always thought it was some sort of strange frogs. Now I know what we're hearing! Still have yet to see them. ❤

      @@randymelville9597 It's a Nikon P950. Yes upto 2000 zoom and still light enough to carry around. That flexibility comes at a cost. It has a small sensor so in low light there is lots of noise. Most things like that can be fixed in post. It also has 4k video.

    Thank you for this video. I'm curious about the situation with the rains by where you are. I'm reading the news, but, as usual, only the worse of the worst gets reported. How are things by you? And crime wise, have you noticed any difference by you? Thanks!

    • @KrisandMike
      @KrisandMike  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Crime statistics continue to get better. The big news has been flooding by the rains. We have a few areas near here where people have been affected. Not huge numbers but enough to be concerned. No rain last night so will improve today.
