Study of the birdlife of this rich region has only just begun, and we are aware that the status of many species requires clarification. Observations in addition to or at variance with what is presented here are solicited. Pass these on to reserve staff, to F. Sornoza at the Fundación Jocotoco office in Quito, or to RSR at "rridgely@earthlink.net" - and thank you.
