From Dec 05 - 19, 2009 Sheridan and I were again on a birding trip to Colombia - this time a few days in the Eastern Andes then more than a week in the far north. We spent more time at lower elevations than on our previous trip, and consequently we saw more odes, however some were common wide-spread taxa (e.g. Three-striped Dasher) which I have not included here:
