This report includes two species new to Ecuador (Pelecanoides garnotii,Conirostrum margaritae), five species with first documented country records (Thaumastura cora,Anous minutus,Setophaga pensylvanica,S. virens,Spiza americana), two species with first documented Galapagos records (Oceanodroma hornbyi,Egretta tricolor), remarkable range extensions for 15 species (Amazilia amazilia, Aramus guarauna, Vanellus chilensis,Attagis gayi,Anous stolidus,Sterna hirundo,Thalasseus elegans,T. sandvicensis, Eurypyga helias, Mycteria americana, Plegadis falcinellus,Gampsonyx swainsonii,Rosthramus sociabilis, Glaucidium peruanum, Thlypopsis sordida), new records of 16 rare species (Oressochen jubatus, Spatula cyanoptera, Podiceps major,Stercorarius longicaudus,Larus belcheri, Pelagodroma marina, Oceanodroma markhami, Egretta rufescens,Plegadis ridgwayi,Buteo swainsonii,Megascops koepckeae, Tyrannus albogularis, Setophaga castanea,Dolichonyx oryzivorus, Icterus chrysater,I. galbula) and additional records for 8 species. Finally, we invalidate previous records of Pyrilia pyriliapublished in different sources, reject records of six species submitted to CERO, and discuss six previously published, undocumented records that might prove erroneous.
