Foram registradas um total de 450 espécies de aves, das quais 63 consideradas de interesse para conservação, como Leucopternis lacernulatus, Harpyhaliaetus coronatus, Triclaria malachitacea, Myrmotherula minor, Dacnis nigripes, Sporophila frontalis e S. falcirostris.

  • New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’S Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma Monorhis )
    his is the 20th published report of the ABA Checklist Committee (hereafter, TCLC), covering the period July 2008– July 2009. There were no changes to commit - tee membership since our previous report (Pranty et al. 2008). Kevin Zimmer has been elected to serve his second term (to expire at the end of 2012), and Bill Pranty has been reelected to serve as Chair for a fourth year. During the preceding 13 months, the CLC final - ized votes on five species. Four species were accepted and added to the ABA Checklist , while one species was removed. The number of accepted species on the ABA Checklist is increased to 960. In January 2009, the seventh edition of the ABA Checklist (Pranty et al. 2009) was published. Each species is numbered from 1 (Black-bellied Whistling-Duck) to 957 (Eurasian Tree Sparrow); ancillary numbers will be inserted for all new species, and these numbers will be included in our annual reports. Production of the seventh edi - tion of the ABA Checklist occupied much of Pranty’s and Dunn’s time during the period, and this com - mitment helps to explain the relative paucity of votes during 2008–2009 compared to our other recent an - nual reports. New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis ). ABA CLC Record #2009-02.

  • Pantanal - Birds and Jaguars 9 Day/ 8 Night Tour
    PANTANAL - BIRDS AND JAGUARS 9 DAY/ 8 NIGHT TOUR OVERVIEW The Pantanal is a natural region encompassing the world's largest tropical wetland area. It is located mostly within the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, but it extends into Mato Grosso and portions of Bolivia and Paraguay. The name "Pantanal" comes from the Portuguese word pântano, meaning wetland, bog, swamp, quagmire or marsh. The Pantanal offers any birder or wildlife enthusiast the perfect combination of great birding and mammal spotting opportunities! The habitat is “birder friendly” as it’s relatively open which makes birding easier and more relaxing. It is one of the best places in the world to see the endangered and stunning Hyacinth Macaw, hundreds of Jabirus, Maguari Storks, Wood Storks, Herons and Ibises and literally thousands of Caimans. This, together with excellent chances of seeing Jaguar, fantastic photographic opportunities and spectacular scenery makes a birding trip to the Pantanal a must! We will spend seven days within the world’s largest freshwater wetland that covers approximately 195000 km². During this time we shall travel all the way to the end of the famous Transpantaneira dirt road (145km), well known for its amazing birds and wildlife. Once at the end of the Transpantaneira road we will spend the last three days based at the Hotel Porto Jofre where we will take daily boat trips looking for various species of birds and our main mammal target, South Americas largest cat…. the mighty Jaguar! We then move onto the 80 000 acre Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park for a further two nights; this Cerrado habitat (seasonally dry woodland and scrub) will provide us with a change of habitat, more stunning scenery and further opportunities for a whole host of new bird species.

  • Nest Predators and Prey in a Neotropical Savannah in Central Brazil

The identification of predators of birds’ nests, crucial to a better understanding of predator-prey interac- tions, remains poorly known. Here we provide evidence that birds, and especially passerines, may depredate birds’ nests in the Cerrado (Neotropical Savannah) of Central Brazil. Data was collected primarily in a Conservation Unit (Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas) during the breeding season, between 2003 and 2007. We report and discuss details on 14 events of nest predation, 12 of which by passerines, mostly by curl-crested jays – Cyanocorax cristatellus (Temminck, 1823). The results of our study suggest that the role of birds as nest predators in the Cerrado has been underestimated and needs to be further investigated. KEY WORDS. Cerrado; bird; passerine.

    Abstract Marcot, Bruce G. 1995. Owls of old forests of the world. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW- GTR-343. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 64 p. A review of literature on habitat associations of owls of the world revealed that about 83 species of owls among 18 genera are known or suspected to be closely asso- ciated with old forests. Old forest is defined as old-growth or undisturbed forests, typically with dense canopies. The 83 owl species include 70 tropical and 13 tem- perate forms. Specific habitat associations have been studied for only 12 species (7 tropical and 5 temperate), whereas about 71 species (63 tropical and 8 temperate) remain mostly unstudied. Some 26 species (31 percent of all owls known or sus- pected to be associated with old forests in the tropics) are entirely or mostly restricted to tropical islands. Threats to old-forest owls, particularly the island forms, include conversion of old upland forests, use of pesticides, loss of riparian gallery forests, and loss of trees with cavities for nests or roosts. Conservation of old-forest owls should include (1) studies and inventories of habitat associations, particularly for little-studied tropical and insular species; (2) protection of specific, existing temperate and tropical old-forest tracts; and (3) studies to determine if reforestation and vege- tation manipulation can restore or maintain habitat conditions. An appendix describes vocalizations of all species of Strix and the related genus Ciccaba. Keywords: Owls, old growth, old-growth forest, late-successional forests, spotted owl, owl calls, owl conservation, tropical forests, literature review.

  • Field Guides Birding Tours Southwestern Ecuador
    Field Guides Tour Report SOUTHWESTERN ECUADOR SPECIALTIES: JOCOTOCO FOUNDATION Mar 17, 2012 to Mar 31, 2012 Mitch Lysinger A common hummingbird of Ecuador's southwest, the Amazilia Hummingbird comes in two forms here: this lowland form, and a whiter-bellied highland form sometimes split off as Loja Hummingbird, A. alticola. (Photo by tour participant Brian Stech) This was yet another SW Ecuador trip packed full of spectacular highlights and surprises, the biggest bird surprise being the Buff-browed Foliage-gleaner that we found on the lower slopes of the Tapichalaca reserve, way out of its known range. This is a bird that had previously only been known in Ecuador from a record or two right along the Peruvian border! Many folks sign up for this tour for the chance at seeing the superb Jocotoco Antpitta; believe it or not "Superb Antpitta" was actually one of the name candidates! We indeed had superb views of this beast; seeing it is now not at all the chore it once was. Now? Hike in along the trail, have a seat on the bench, and they come running in to gobble down some jumbo-sized worms. What a show! Before this you had to pray that one would answer in the hopes of even just getting a quick glimpse. The weather surprises weren't quite as pleasant, causing huge numbers of landslides in the deep SW that prevented us from visiting a few key spots, such as the highland Tumbesian areas around Utuana reserve. The rains came about a month early this year, and they were particularly intense; in hindsight I actually count ourselves lucky because if we had run the trip about a week or two earlier, the road conditions would probably have made passage throughout SW Ecuador a complete nightmare! The countless landslides that we drove by were a testament to this.
