While Birding the Choco Region near Esmeraldas we had an amazing day with many raptors at the Botrosa Road. We had some very nice looks at Black Hawk-Eagle, Semiplumbeous Hawk, Double toothed Kite, Laughing Falcon, and two others not yet positively identified.

Thanks for posting some images from the Botrosa road. I would love to go birding there someday as the Choco is my favorite bioregion.
Hope to meet you someday!
