    May 11 – 23, 2019 Spain: Birding and Nature Tour With: Christine, Laura, Brad, Cathy, Elizabeth, and Richard (HO)= Distinctive enough to be counted as heard only (I)=introduced Tour Summary: What an amazing destination! A journey through Spain is an experience one will never forget. Over the course of this tour, we explored wildlife rich areas from the lofty peaks of the Gredos Mountains to the mudflats of Andalusia, from the cork oak forests of Extremadura to the saline pools of Castilla-La Mancha. We recorded 188 bird species in that time – species such as Great Bustard, Egyptian Vulture, Eurasian Hoopoe, European Roller, Crested Tit, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, and more. In the end, there was no agreement as to the favorite bird of the tour – each person selected three completely different birds! It was just not the birds that captivated our group. It was the richness of Spain’s culture, history, architecture, and cuisine interwoven with the natural landscape. BIRDS (188 species recorded, 3 heard only): DUCKS, GEESE AND SWANS: Anatidae (10) Graylag Goose Anser anser—the ancestor of the domestic goose and quite common in winter in Spain, but only a small percentage remain to breed – a couple lingering birds at Dehesa Abajo in Andalusia and a family of adults and goslings at Laguna Navaseca in Castille-La Mancha Common Shelduck Tadorna tadorna—very handsome shelduck, associated with saline wetlands; our best views were at the various lagoons in Castille-La Mancha, where they were quite common Northern Shovler Spatula

  • La Mancha, Coto Donana & Extremadura 2017
    Field Guides Tour Report Spain: La Mancha, Coto Donana & Extremadura 2017 May 6, 2017 to May 18, 2017 Chris Benesh & Godfried Schreur For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Spectacular skies greeted us during our visit to old Trujillo in the heart of Extremadura. Photo by guide Chris Benesh. So many birds around that you don´t know which to choose and observe. Do you recognize this feeling? We experienced many of these exciting moments in Spain during the Field Guides tour in May. It started straight away, on the first day, overlooking the natural lagoons of La Mancha Húmeda, where we had the chance to observe a great variety of species of ducks, grebes, terns, and passerines. The highlights here were the White-headed Duck, Eared Grebe, Red-crested Pochard, Whiskered Tern and Penduline Tit. In the National Park of Coto Donana again we found ourselves surrounded by birds: larks, bee-eaters, flamingos, Great Reed Warblers, Glossy Ibis, Squacco and Purple herons and a surprisingly well showing Little Bittern. With a bit of searching, scanning and listening we were able to also detect Red-knobbed Coot, Marbled Teal and Isabelline (Western Olivaceous) Warbler. Later in the week, close to Trujillo (Extremadura), we all enjoyed the excursion on the open, rolling plains, with Great and Little bustards, Eurasian Roller, Hoopoe, Calandra Lark, Montagu´s Harrier and many, many White Storks. For the shy Black Storks we had to wait one day more. In Monfrague National Park we discovered 3 pairs nesting on the breathtaking cliff of Peña Falcón.

  • Southern Spain: the Europe Introtour April 2019
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern Spain: The Europe Introtour April 2019 A Tropical Birding set departure tour SOUTHERN SPAIN: The Europe Introtour 1st – 9th April 2019 Tour Leader: Emma Juxon All photographs in this report were taken by Emma Juxon unless otherwise stated, species depicted in photographs are named in BOLD RED www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern Spain: The Europe Introtour April 2019 Introduction For European birders, there is nowhere better to take a birding trip than the Iberian Peninsula. A region largely overlooked by North American birders in the past, it boasts some of THE best birding on the continent, it’s certainly not to be missed. We visit the outstanding regions of Extremadura and Andalucía on this tour, making our way through breathtaking mountainous landscapes, through rolling steppes and spectacular marismas. With many participants visiting the Old World for the first time, it promises a wealth of lifers, great food, fantastic people and an easy-going introduction to the Mediterranean way of life. One of the many beauties of this tour is that we only have two bases. Starting in Madrid, we make our way through the beautiful Spanish countryside, passing vineyards and castillos to get to wildflower- carpeted Extremadura. Here we enjoy the Belen Steppe, Caceres Plains and the exceptional Monfragüe National Park, encountering incredible birds such as Eurasian Griffon, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, Great Bustard and Iberian Magpie. From here we head south to our next base in the picturesque pilgrimage town of El Rocío; I love this charming place, with its sandy roads, wonderful bird-filled marshes and charismatic people.

  • Blue-Winged and Green-Winged Teals, Are the Marshes, Swamps, and Ponds of Zero to Low Water Movement
    BirdWalk Newsletter 1.29.2017 Walk Conducted by: Perry Nugent Newsletter Written by: Jayne J. Matney Photo right by Cary McDonald Blue-winged Teal male with duckweed beak and chest followed by female partner Photo below by Chuck Fuhrman Two Green-winged Teal males This week will be the first in a series of articles covering the ducks of Magnolia Plantation. Most of our duck population is not of permanent residences. Instead, they migrate in for wintering and migrate out for breeding. The males are called “drakes” and the females are called “hens”. Some of these ducks are considered “dabblers”, which means they eat primarily along the surface of the water chewing or filtering from the surface and rarely dive, while others are the “divers”, which do just that-they dive head first into the water for feeding. Dabbling ducks will occasionally dive for food or to escape predators. Photo above left by Chuck Fuhrman Blue-winged Teal Photo above right by Perry Nugent Green-winged Teal The Blue-winged Teal, Anas discors, (above left) and the Green-winged Teal, Anas crecca, (above right) will be discussed this week. They are in the category of dabblers; both species primarily feed off of aquatic plants and seeds from the surface of the water and small larvae, insects, and crustaceans that may be found there as well. Apparently, egg laying females may feed mostly on animal rather than plant during those special times. Both species are small comparatively to other types of ducks, rest out of the water on stumps, rocks and broken branches, and are fast in flight.

  • Feeding Habits and Overlap Among Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes) and Stone
    Mamm. biol. 67 2002) 137±146 Mammalian Biology ã Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/mammbiol Zeitschrift fuÈr SaÈ ugetierkunde Original investigation Feeding habits and overlap among red fox Vulpes vulpes) and stone marten Martes foina) in two Mediterranean mountain habitats By J. M. PADIAL,E.AÂVILA,andJ.M.GIL-SAÂNCHEZ Group for the study and conservation of nature Signatus and Department of Animal Biology, University of Granada, Spain. Receipt of Ms. 31. 01. 2001 Acceptance of Ms. 30. 07. 2001 Abstract The feeding habits of two carnivorous opportunists, red fox 3Vulpes vulpes) and stonemarten 3Martes foina), have been compared in two Mediterranean mountain habitats 3mesic and xeric), lo- cated in the Sierra Nevada National Park 3SE Spain), between April 1997 and March 1998. The ana- lysis of scats revealed a very important interspecific trophic niche overlap in the mesic habitat. In the xeric habitat the differences were significant and the overlap moderate. Seasonal variations ex- isted in the degree of overlap, which reached its highest level in winter in the mesic habitat and in spring in the xeric habitat. The results indicated that the availability of food in each habitat was important in determining the divergence of the diets. Thus, in the mesic habitat, competition could be possible, although it was not important enough to cause a habitat segregation. Martens seemed to be more adaptive than foxes, probably due to their smaller size and arboreal life, allowing them to exploit fruit which is not as profitable for the fox. Foxes based their diet on small mammals, car- rion and cultivated fruit in both habitats.
