As I write this we are in the <strong>Copalinga<\/strong> lodge just outside the town of <strong>Zamora<\/strong>. Copalinga recently became part of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jocotoco.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fundac\u00edon Jocotoco<\/a>\u2019s<\/strong> now 12 reserves. But this entry is about our second week in Buenaventura.<\/p>\n<h5>Frustrations<\/h5>\n<p>As it was apparent from the previous entry (<a href=\"https:\/\/albicillaexplorer.com\/en\/soil-under-the-nails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soil under the nails<\/a>) we spent quite a lot of time filling plant bags with soil. And it is really hard work \u2013 at least for two <em>\u201cdesk jockeys\u201d<\/em> like us. We both agreed that it couldn\u2019t go on for two weeks if all we had to do was filling bags \u2013 and it looked like that might very well be the case.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that we didn\u2019t want to do any work, or because we are <em>too good<\/em> for that kind of work. But it is very frustrating putting soil in bags hour after hour\u00a0when one of the main purposes of our trip is to see a lot of birds. Here we were in an area with approximately <em>350 bird species<\/em> and we felt we were stranded in a plant nursery. Would we even get to see the <strong>Long-wattled Umbrellabird<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>First of all,\u00a0we had to work some of the time and it wasn\u2019t easy to get around and we didn\u2019t live down by the <strong>Umbrellabird Lodge<\/strong>. We lived further up, in a house. There were three km as the crow flies \u2013 or the umbrellabird for that matter \u2013 but the road was almost ten km because of the terrain. It took half an hour by car!<\/p>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t\u00a0we simply get up early and look at birds before work? Yes, and we also did that. But the daily\u00a0chores and the fact that there is only sunlight from about 6 AM to 6 PM meant that we only got to do a little birding in the vicinity of the house.<\/p>\n<p>The workday ended at 4 PM after which we then had the opportunity to do a little more birding. But again, primarily around the house (we were too exhausted for a longer trek before dinner).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2719\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2719\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2719\" src=\"https:\/\/albicillaexplorer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/TrogonDSCN5660.jpg\" alt=\"Collared Trogon (hun).

Buenaventura, El Oro, Ecuador.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, during the weekend we had the chance to go down to the lodge. But since we depended on others, and they depended on <em>one<\/em> car it took a lot of coordination. And since they did not understand that you have to start very early in the morning we didn\u2019t get going until several hours later than what we would have liked. So even though we got to see a lot of hummingbirds at the feeders at the lodge \u2013 and we got some internet access \u2013 it was still frustrating.<\/p>\n<h5>Something had to be done<\/h5>\n<p>As mentioned above, we felt it couldn\u2019t go on like this, something had to be done to change things. There was no way we could walk such a long way in the morning as we would have to get up very early and still wouldn\u2019t be able to make it back to work\u00a0on\u00a0time.<\/p>\n<p>Our solution was that we during the following weekend were to be <em>upgraded<\/em> to tourists and move down to the lodge from Friday evening to Monday morning. At least that was what we tried to arrange with the help of <strong>Pamela<\/strong>, who speaks English and is our contact in Jocotoco in Quito. It was possible to get an upgrade \u2013 for a fee, of course \u2013 but to the slightly lower <em>volunteer<\/em> price.<\/p>\n<h5>Many more birds and less soil under the nails<\/h5>\n<p>But it all had to be arranged and coordinated with <strong>Ren\u00e9<\/strong> and <strong>Jeanneth<\/strong> in Buenaventura. It is in situations like this that you really feel the challenges and misunderstandings that arise due to language barriers.<\/p>\n<p>We will skip the details but on Monday things had changed. We had a meeting with Jeanneth, where we talked about the plans for the week and where we also tried to explain that we were happy to do some work and it wasn\u2019t because we didn\u2019t like to live up in the house with the others, but simply because we would like to spend the week <em>down by the birds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it was agreed that we would only work one morning and one afternoon in the plant nursery and the other days we were out looking at birds. We didn\u2019t get to live at the lodge but that was okay.<\/p>\n<p>One of the days we were looking at birds together with <strong>Baldomiro<\/strong>, who is 65 and used to own some of the lands that now belongs to Jocotoco\u2019s sanctuary.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2702\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2702\" src=\"https:\/\/albicillaexplorer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BirdingBaldamiro_DSC_0475.jpg\" alt=\"Birding med Baldomiro.
