ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the author's experience of working on Ecuador forest birds. The author enjoyed the experience of cultural exchange with the people of Loma Alta, Mexico. The author was able to experience their customs and traditions firsthand, eat their food, listen to their music, play their games, learn more of their language, and be a part of their family. There is a renewed appreciation for this beauty and a stronger need to protect it within the author.
