Distribution of the Shiny Cowbird in Ecuador, modified from Ridgely and Greenfield (2006). Areas in blue represent areas below 2000 m asl where the shiny cowbird has been previously reported (Ridgely and Greenfield 2006), black dots represent isolated, higher altitude records (up to 2700 m asl) (Ridgely and Greenfield 2006, Xeno-canto Foundation 2012), and the red dot marks the city of Quito, where we report the presence of the Shiny Cowbird.
