Inca from Pucusana

I’ve been leading this awesome Southern Peru trip since 2005, and it was a pleasure to come back one more time. This lovely and friendly country not only brought us hundreds of , but also during our nearly three week trip, we had the chance to learn a little bit about the culture, enjoy the amazing landscapes, and had some really cool as well.

Giant Otter at Cocha Blanca lake in Manu

August 26: We all had arrived in Lima the day before, and only stayed briefly before taking a short flight to Cusco. Our friendly driver Omar picked us up and soon we were headed off towards Huacarpay Lake. Everyone was eager to get their first Peruvian bird, but at 11,000 feet elevation, you need to take it easy on the first day. After our field breakfast, we walked around the edge of this small lake, where we encountered Yellow-billed Teal, Slate-colored Coot, Andean Gull, Andean , Yellow-billed Pintail, and we also had an unusual austral migrant Chilean . White-tufted , Cinnamon Teal, and some outstanding Puna Teal were also swimming around in this popular hotspot. In the reedbeds fringing the lake, we also managed to get Wren-like Rushbird, an odd place compared to the habitat preferred by other members of this bird family. Other in the area included Many-colored Rush-Tyrant, Andean Lapwing, Puna , and Plumbeous which gave wonderful views in the open. We also birded along the edge of the road that goes around the lake, where there are small patches of dry scrub, and we encountered Blue-and-yellow , Band-tailed Seedeater, Bare-faced Ground-Dove, Hooded Siskin, Mourning Sierra-Finch, Chiguango Thrush, and the photogenic White-bowed Chat-Tyran. Overhead we also had soaring Variable Hawk, Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, and Cinereous Harrier. We had a picnic lunch by a nice lookout with great views of the high Andes landscape, where we saw a pair of the endemic Rusty-fronted Canastero. For rest of the afternoon, we birded near the village of Huambutio, where we saw our first Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Golden-billed Saltator, Cinereous Conebill, Black-throated Flowerpiercer, and a nice male Green-tailed Trainbearer feeding on small wild tobacco bushes. We head back towards Cusco City, where we still had chance to walk around the main plaza near our hotel before dinner and the checklist.

Puna Teal from Huacarpay Lake

August 27: We had an early breakfast in the hotel in Cusco before starting our long drive over the Andes. Along the way, we stopped in several places to find some target species. One stop was just below Huancarani village, where we chased down Giant , Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant, Streak-fronted Thornbird, Black-backed and three great endemics: Creamy-crested Spinetail, Chestnut-breasted Mountain- Finch and the localized Bearded Mountaineer which was feeding on flowering bushes. It was amazing to get all these species in such a small patch of scrubby habitat. A while late, after driving along a newly paved road, we also picked up a few new high Andes species like Andean Flicker, Rufous-webbed Bush-Tyrant, Andean Ibis and a cotton-white Andean standing by a little pond. Eventually, we arrived in Acjanaco Pass around lunch time. As Omar was setting up our lunch table, we birded in the surrounding area, where we picked up White-throated Tyrannulet, Puna Tapaculo, Grass Wren, Rufous-breasted and Brown-backed Chat-Tyrants, and the elegant Moustached Flowerpiercer, which was feeding from a vine covered with flowers. Before getting to our lodge, we birded along the dirt road through beautiful temperate forest, giving us the chance to get our first Andean Guan, Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager, and Red-crested perched on a tree top. A Sword-billed Hummingbird was attracted by a pygmy- imitation, along with a Yungas Pygmy-Owl, which was very exciting for all of us. After short drive, we encountered a frenzied feeding flock where we had superb views of Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager, Black-faced Brushfinch, Puna Thistletail, White-crested and Sierran Elaenias, Drab, Three-striped, and the jumpy Superciliaried Hemispingus, Spectacled Redstart, and Rust-and-yellow Tanager. We even got to see and photograph the shy and skulky Golden-collared Tanager which was also accompanying the party. Finally, we arrived at Wayquecha www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.3 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019

Lodge just before dusk. Some up us did optional night birding where we saw a Swallow-tailed Nightjar and a couple of very responsive White-throated Screech- to cap off a great day.

Creamy-crested Spinetail (Peruvian endemic) from near Huancarani village

August 28: After breakfast, we birded the lodge grounds, where hummingbird feeders attracted a few lovely species like Long-tailed Sylph, Tyrian Metaltail, Collared (Gould’s) Inca, and Amethyst-throated Sunangel. Birding along the road above the lodge, we found a couple of nice mixed feeding flocks with White-banded Tyrannulet, Pale-legged Warbler, Pearled Treerunner, Streaked Tuftedcheek, Fawn-breasted Tanager, Fulvous and Mountain Wrens, Azara’s Spinetail, Hooded Mountain-Tanager, Cinnamon Flycatcher, Barred Becard, Grass-green Tanager, and Black-capped Hemispingus. A beautiful male Masked was perched by the side of the road and a Rufous gave us a very quick look at it, but Band-tailed Fruiteater and the colorful Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan showed better. In addition to birds, we even spotted a resting Linnaeus's Two-toed Sloth, which was a big surprise for me, as usually you get them at much lower elevations. Farther down from the road near Pillahuata, our driver Omar knew a good spot to get the endemic Red and white Antpitta, and it came out after spending some time looking for it. We continued birding our way down the famous Manu road, seeing awesome birds everywhere. By a small waterfall, a Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant sang from an exposed perch. Other stops got us species like Rust-and-yellow Tanager, Capped Conebill, Common Chlorospingus, Bolivian Tyrannulet, Olive-backed and Montane Woodcreepers, Saffron-crowned, Blue-capped, and Beryl-spangled , and Golden-crowned and Inca Flycatchers. As it was getting late, we were trying to get to the lodge, but kept having to stop for more birds like Andean Motmot and Blue- www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.4 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019 banded Toucanet. Eventually we arrived at Cock of the Rock Lodge, where we were warmly welcomed by lodge staff.

Golden-collared Tanager from Acjanaco

August 29: This section of the Manu road is always a favorite for everyone - the climate is very pleasant (not too hot and not too cold) and there are tons of colorful birds. This morning, before anything else, we wanted to see the gaudy Peruvian national bird, Andean Cock of the Rock. So, after a short drive, we enjoyed seeing the colorful males doing their crazy displays to get some attention from the females. We saw at least twelve males, and some gave nice photo opportunities. When the excitement died down and the males went off to feed, we also found other species like Three-striped Warbler, Slaty Antwren, Black-billed Treehunter, Smoke- colored Pewee and even a skulky White-crowned Tapaculo, which gave us good views. We headed back to the lodge for breakfast, where we also enjoyed seeing and other birds that were coming to the feeders. Many-spotted Hummingbird, Violet-fronted Brilliant, Sparkling Violetear, Fork-tailed Woodnymph, Bronzy Inca, Green Hermit, and the elegant Booted Racket-tail delighted us with their presence. The verbena flowers also brought in the striking Wire-crested Thorntail and the endemic Peruvian Piedtail as well. The fruit feeders attracted the bright Golden and Silver-beaked Tanagers, Russet-backed Oropendola, Orange- bellied Euphonia, and even some mammals like Brown Capuchin, Brown Agouti, Bolivian Dwarf Squirrel and the odd Tayra. Another feeder behind cabins also had for the Bronze-green Euphonia and the attractive Versicolored Barbet, one of my favorite birds. Some of the Melastome trees around the lodge were fruiting and attracted a horde of hungry birds including Blue-naped Chlorophonia, Blue-necked, Bay-headed, Orange- eared, Golden-eared, and multicolored Paradise Tanagers. For the rest of the day we birded near the lodge and along the road, adding species like Andean Solitaire, Marble-faced Bristle-Tyrant, White-backed Fire-eye, Yungas , Moustached Wren, Chestnut-breasted Wren, Slaty Gnateater, Yellow-throated Chlorospingus, Black-eared Hemispingus, Two-banded Warbler, White-winged Tanager, Crested Quetzal, and a soaring Solitary Eagle as well.

Versicolored Barbet at Cock of the Rock Lodge

August 30: After an early breakfast at the lodge, we loaded up our luggage in the van and drove down the Manu road to some bamboo forest. We began by seeing Yellow-breasted Warbling-, Two-banded Warbler, Bluish-fronted Jacamar, Ornate Stipplethroat, Stripe-chested Antwren, and even called a shy Barred Forest-Falcon who came in and gave us a wonderful view. Continuing birding along the road farther down, we encountered a nice mixed feeding flock, where we saw some new trip birds like Slaty-capped Flycatcher, Spotted Tanager, Ash-browed Spinetail, Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant, Short-billed Chlorospingus, Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet, Montane Foliage-Gleaner, Lemon-browed Flycatcher, the unusual Gray- mantled Wren working the canopy, the bizarre Red-billed Scythebill, Amazonian Umbrellabird, Crimson- crested Woodpecker, Golden-bellied Warbler, Buff-throated Foliage-Gleaner, and a noisy Chestnut-tipped Toucanet. After a tasty field lunch in a nice, shady place, and a short rest, we kept carried on birding and had lovely views of Peruvian Piedtail, Green-fronted Lancebill, Yellow-crested Tanager, a soaring Black-and- chestnut Eagle, which was excellent, and we even had nice looks of the scarce Lanceolated Monklet. Later in the afternoon, we drove down to our next destination which was Villa Carmen Lodge.

After settling into our cabins, we birded around the lodge, where this secondary forest hosted numerous common Amazonian species. Among the first birds we saw were Speckled Chachalaca, Blue-throated Piping- Guan, Lineated and Spot-breasted Woodpeckers, Mottle-backed Elaenia, White-eyed Parakeet, Blue-headed , Social and Gray-capped Flycatchers, flocks of Chestnut-fronted Macaws heading to their roosting area, and Long-tailed Tyrant. A small lake brought us our first enounter with the bizarre leaf-eating and prehistoric-looking Hoatzin. Along with them we also found a swimming Sungrebe. It was a nice bird to end the day on as we retreated to our rooms to showed and get ready for dinner.

Hoatzin

August 31: This relatively new lodge has beautiful cabins and a many special birds as well; some of them are bamboo specialist, and the reserve has a big patch of it to explore. Our birding started right after breakfast by the front porch, where they have some fruit feeders. We did not have to wait long for Purplish Jay, Gray- cowled Wood-Rail, Silver-beaked Tanager, Speckled Chachalaca, and the attractive Red-capped . In the surrounding trees we also saw Violaceus Jay, Yellow-tufted Woodpecker, Yellow-rumped Cacique, Chestnut-eared Araçari, and a Buckley’s Forest-Falcon flew right in to our view, which was a big surprise. Back by the cabins there were Blue-crowned and Black-tailed , Chestnut-crowned Foliage-gleaner, Pale- legged Horneros walking their elegant walk, Black-fronted Nunbird, Blue-Dacnis, Turquoise and Magpie Tanagers, Lemon-throated Barbet, a flyover Blue-headed Macaw, and the cute endemic Black-backed Tody- flycatcher. As we had been told that they were feeding an Amazonia Antpitta, we didn’t want to miss that opportunity. Waiting at the spot where they feed it, a lodge worker Johnathan coaxed it out nicely for us in the open for a short time. In the same vicinity we enjoyed species like Rufescent Tiger-Heron, Rufous-capped Nunlet, Vermilion Flycatcher, Rufous-headed Woodpecker and the tiny Fine-barred Piculet. We continued our birding in the bamboo forest, along a beautifully built trail. With patience and luck we managed to find Johannes’s Tody-Tyrant, Solitary Black Cacique, Amazonian Grosbeak, Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher, Plain- winged, Bamboo, and Great Antshrikes, Flammulated Bamboo-Tyrant, Straight-billed Woodcreeper, White- winged Becard, and a slew of including White-browed, Black-throated, Riparian, White-lined, Goeldi’s, Striated, and Manu Antbirds. All of that was before lunch back at the lodge! www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.8 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019

After lunch, we headed towards Amazonia Lodge. On the way there, we picked up a few species like Greater Yellow-headed Vulture, Bluish-fronted Jacamar, Swallow-winged Puffbird and we even found a skulky and shy Gray-breasted Crake bathing in a small puddle along the road, which was an extra bonus. Once we arrived in the village of Atalaya, we had our first experience with famous Alto Madre de Dios River, which was unusually low. After a boat ride across the river and a short walk, we reached Amazonia lodge, where the lodge staff were waiting for us with nice refreshing lemonade, which went down fast after the walk in the hot and humid afternoon. After settling in to our rooms, the rest of the afternoon consisted of birding from the lodge front porch were we saw Gray-fronted Dove, Black-billed Thrush, Gray-cowled Wood-Rail, Silver- beaked, Palm, and Blue-gray Tanages as well as the colorful Masked Crimson Tanager, all coming to fruit feeders. The nicely set up hummingbird feeders and beautifully flowering verbena bushes brought in a few species that we were looking for, like Gray-breasted Sabrewing, Golden-tailed Sapphire, Blue-tailed and Sapphire-spangled Emeralds, White-necked Jacobin, and the outstanding Gould’s Jewelfront. Later in the evening, we had optional night birding where we saw the noisy Tawny-bellied Screech-Owl in the lodge grounds.

September 1: After breakfast, we started birding in the lodge grounds. This clearing provided better looks at some of the species we had seen before, and Plain Softail, Cobalt-winged Parakeet, Plain-crowned Spinetail, and the tiny Pygmy Antwren were all new for the trip. Another trail behind the lodge provided us other species that I wasn’t expecting, as they are usually tough; some of of them were Rufous-breasted Piculet, www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.9 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019

Carmiol’s Tanager, Chestnut-tailed Antbird, and Black-capped Becard. Along with them were some more common species like Squirrel , Buff-throated Woodcreeper, and the colorful Green-and-gold Tanager as well. For the rest of the morning we concentrated on the flat, wide jeep trail. After a while, we were able to see the shy Rusty-belted Tapaculo, which came out and sat for little while, so we could even see it in the scope. Farther down the track we saw other birds like Ruddy Quail-Dove, Fiery-capped Manakin, Black-faced Anthrush, Wedge-billed Woodcreeper, Bluish-slate Antshrike, Speckled Spinetail, and Orange-backed Troupial. A side trail took us to a little oxbow lake that held more Hoatzins, and while watching them we heard Razor-billed Curassow; the chance to call them in was limited, but I tried just in case, and indeed we got lucky! It came out to cross the path a couple times, which was awesome. After that we went back to the lodge to eat our lunch and have a break, during which some of us sat on the porch to enjoy the hummers and other birds coming to the feeders. Our afternoon birding took us along some of the other trails that the lodge has, but before that, we checked the verbena flowers for Violet-headed Hummingbird, Amethyst Woodstar, Fork- tailed Woodnymph, and then our target Rufous-crested Coquette also showed up, which I was starting to worry we were going to miss. The trail were slow, as they often are in the afternoon, but we saw Little Woodpecker, Thick-billed and Golden-bellied Euphonias, and a Cinereous which was walking along the path in front of us. Thunderstorms came in ending the birding for the day, and we headed back to the lodge to relax.

September 2: Our next destination was Manu Wildlife Center deep in the Peruvian Amazon. The journey involved going down the wild Alto Madre de Dios river, and a lot of the group were looking forward to the trip. But, before our boat ride we did some last birding on one of the trails that goes to the edge of the river, where www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.10 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019 we saw the Hauxwell’s Thrush, Spot-backed Antbird, Ringed Antpipit, White-lored Tyrannulet, White- flanked Antwren, Amazonian Motmot, Plain and Slender-billed Xenopses, the latter of which gave us great looks and even a photo opportunity. Just before embarking, a Chestnut-capped Puffbird showed well.

Slender-billed Xenops from Amazonia Lodge

We spent the rest of the day birding from the boat, with only a few stops along the river for lunch and rest. We picked up a few water birds like Fasciated Tiger-Heron, Great, Snowy, and Cattle Egrets, and Cocoi Heron, and then much farther down we also found many Large-billed and Yellow-billed , Spotted Sandpiper, Collared Plover, White-winged and White-banded Swallows, Plumbeous and Swallow-tailed Kites, a Great Black Hawk sitting on a sandbar, and soaring Zone-tailed Hawk and King Vulture. Just by chance we found a sleeping pair of Ladder-tailed Nightjars in some dense riverside vegetation along with Chestnut-bellied Seedeater and a Burrowing Owl which wasn’t happy with our presence. Just before reaching the lodge, we had several much anticipated species like a pair of Horned , the giant Jabiru, and the lovely Sunbittern. Finally, we arrived at the lodge in the evening, ready for dinner and some refreshing Pisco sours as well.

Horned

September 3: I’m totally at home in the Amazon, having grown up there in , and it is always a pleasure to wake up surrounded by familiar sounds. I’m always happy to get back to my own roots even when I’m not in home country. Right after breakfast, we went to bird on of my favorite trails at the lodge, the well-named grid trail. It was really active and we ended up staying until lunch. We first started by seeing Black-tailed Tityra, Ivory-billed and Curl-crested Araçaris feeding from the fruiting tree, Dusky-throated Antshrike, Cream-colored and Scale-breasted Woodpeckers, Plain-throated Antwren, White-winged Shrike-Tanager, Sepia-capped Flycatcher, Tawny-crowned Greenlet, Red-crowned Ant-Tanager, Cinereous Mourner, Black- faced Antbird and White-fronted Nunbird. Later in the morning, we encountered more species that we needed to expand our list, one of them was the loud singer Screaming Piha, obvious even from a long distance, along with Broad-billed Motmot, the miniature Dwarf Tyrant-Manakin, Red-necked Woodpecker drumming from a dead tree trunk, Collared Trogon, Dull-capped Attila and the very attractive Band-tailed Manakin. After lunch, before heading back out onto another trail, we checked out the verbena and Heliconia flowers that they had been planted near the dining room, and we saw Reddish, Rufous-breasted, and White- bearded Hermits, along with the unusual White-chinned Sapphire as well. The trail itself was very quiet, but after persisting we saw Plumbeous Antbird, Black-tailed Leaftosser, and Elegant Woodcreeper, and another good find was Pavonine Quetzal which at first gave us a hard time, but eventually we had good looks at it. Late in the afternoon we had an optional walk to see Starred Wood-Quail.

Cream-colored Woodpecker

September 4: Right after breakfast, we went to visit the canopy tower, which is a platform on a kapok tree just about 150 feet from the ground. It gave us a different perspective and better views of some of the canopy species. Once we arrived there, we started seeing a friendly pair of Golden-bellied Euphonias coming and going along with Bare-necked Fruitcrow, Striolated Puffbird, , Olive Oropendola, Golden-collared Toucanet, Casqued Cacique, Gilded Barbet, nice looks of White-browed Purpletuft perched in the tree tops, Scarlet, Blue-and-Yellow, Chestnut-fronted, and Red-bellied Macaws, the noisy Red-throated Caracara, a White-bellied Parrot squawking at us from the high canopy, and a shining Spangled Cotinga who delighted us with his bright colors.

After coming back down to earth, we went back to lodge, doing some birding on the way, where White- winged Shrike-Tanager, White-flanked Antwren, Grayish Mourner, Spot-winged Antshrike and the tiny White-bellied Tody-Tyrant all were seen. During our stay at MWC, we saw a few troops of Saddleback Tamarins, and the Brazilian Tapir that everyone calls Vanessa. After lunch, we got back on the boat and headed to Tambo Blanquillo Lodge. Along the way we made a stop at Cocha Blanco, an oxbow lake near the lodge. After a short trail walk, we made it to this beautiful, isolated lake, paddling across it on a catamaran-like raft. We started seeing Greater Ani, Red-capped Cardinal, Social Flycatcher, Pale-vented Pigeon, along with comical Hoatzins, Wattled Jacanas seeming to walk on the water, Greater and Lesser Kiskadee, Sungrebe, Anhinga, Azure Gallinule, Rufescent Tiger-Heron, a bunch of the bizarre looking Horned Screamer, Limpkin, Amazonian Streaked-Antwren, Bat Falcon, Pale-eyed Blackbird, and Black-capped Donacobius making their car-alarm-like calls and eventually coming out to gave us wonderful views. The same general area gave usthe chance to see Common Squirrel Monkey, Red Howler, and just when we thought we had missed it, a Giant Otter was right there behind our catamaran, fishing and giving us an awesome show. Thanks to our boat captain Jesus and his helper for paddling, otherwise it would have been difficult to do on our own. Once we had left, it was short boat and jeep ride to the lodge, where they were waiting for us with some welcome drinks.

September 5: This is a great lodge with new cabins, nice food, and great habitat. After our breakfast, we headed to another canopy tower in a kapok tree, almost the height as the previous one. Our birding started with a small feeding flock with Masked crimson, Paradise, Silver-beaked, and Guira Tanagers, Blue and Black- faced Dacnises, Yellow-crowned Tyrannulet, Grayish Saltator, and a nesting Chestnut-crowned Becard. Later in the morning we had great views of the attractive White-throated and Chanel-billed Toucans, Laughing Falcon, Plum-throated Cotinga, White-necked Puffbird, and the striking Cream-colored Woodpecker which came to visit the tower tree. An Amazonian Pygmy-Owl had been flirting with us all morning, and finally we were able to spot it in the nearest tree below us, which was great. After the tower, we went to the Cocha Camungo oxbow lake, where it was hot by late morning but we still saw Barred Antshrike, Striated Heron, Little Cuckoo, Green Kingfisher, more of those Hoatzins, Horned Screamer, Black-capped Donacobius, Pale- eyed Blackbird, soaring Greater Yellow-headed and King Vultures, Spot-breasted Woodpecker and our target Purus Jacamar - there were a bunch of them flying in and out of a dead Cecropia. On our way back, we also picked up other forest species like Olive-backed Foliage-Gleaner, White-flanked Antwren, Rufous-tailed Flatbill, and a cute Black-faced Antbird foraging near the ground. We had lunch at the lodge and then a long break. Later in the afternoon we birded near the lodge, which was very productive as we saw a lot of good species like Masked Tityra, a friendly Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, Chestnut-eared Araçari, Lineated Woodpecker, Solitary Black Cacique, Dusky-headed Parakeet, Black Caracara, Black-banded Woodcreeper, Hauxwell’s Thrush, and nesting Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers. In the evening before dinner we went to try for night birds, where we got a responsive Great Potoo near the cabins where we were staying.

September 6: Sadly it was time to leave this nice lodge, but not before visiting the famous macaw clay lick, The lodge staff provided us with a packed breakfast that we enjoyed in the blind while waiting for some action. Little by little we started picking up species that were coming to feast on the clay. First to arrive were Cobalt-winged and Tui Parakeets, Blue-headed and Mealy , the striking Orange-cheeked Parrot, and the noisy Yellow-crowned Parrot as well. The macaws made us wait a little more, and while waiting for them we also picked out other species in the area, like Chestnut-bellied Seedfinch, a Double-collared Seedeater nesting beside the blind, Short-crested Flycatcher, Grayish Saltator, Swallow-Tanager, Magpie Tanager, Zone-tailed Hawk, and Swallow-wing Puffbird sallying out from its perch. Hundreds of Red-and-green Macws were up in the trees, but we did not want to leave before they came down to the clay lick and finally, just before we were ready to give up they did just that. After taking in the amazing experience, we headed back toward the boat for the long trip, but not without seeing Amazonian Parrotlet and then an Undulated Tinamou on the path. We had our last Madre de Dios river boat ride, and along the way we enjoyed a few of the species that we had seen before like Cocoi Heron, Yellow-billed and Large-billed Terns, Wood , and the attractive Southern and Pied Lapwings hanging out along the shore. Eventually we reached the road and were driven the rest of the way to Puerto Maldonado, arriving by dusk.

September 7: There was a little time before our flight to do some birding near Puerto Maldonado, and it actually turned out to be a very productive spot. Our target species was the White-throated Jacamar, and not www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.17 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019 that long after arriving we already got at least couple pairs of them, which was excellent. Beside them, we also spotted lots of old friends like Hoatzin, Purus Jacamar, White-throated Toucan, Chestnut-eared Araçari, Blue- crowned Trogon, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, Grayish Saltator, and Bluish-fronted Jacamar, the miniature Plain Tyrannulet, Red-stained Woodpecker, Purple-throated Euphonia, and a noisy Gray-lined Hawk. It was time to say good bye the Amazon, as we had an early lunch then caught a flight to Cusco.

Purus Jacamars from Cocha Camungo

Once we arrived in Cusco, our driver Percy was waiting to take us down to the Sacred Valley. But, along the way we made a quick stop at Piuray Lake way up in the Andes almost at 12000 feet elevation. This lovely scenic place provided us with Andean Gull, Andean Lapwing, , Andean Duck, Cinnamon, Yellow- billed, and Puna Teals, Slate-colored Coot, Yellow-billed Pintail, the unmistakable Andean Goose walking along the field, and the cute Silvery Grebe, new for the trip, floating on the lake. We arrived at our very hotel in Ollatayambo at dusk.

September 8: After an early breakfast in our hotel, we started driving towards the high pass of Abra Malaga, making our first stop just below the pass where we saw Cream-winged and White-winged Cinclodes, Plumbeous Sierra-Finch, Andean Goose, a Mountain Caracara posing elegantly. Before birding at the 14000 foot pass itself, we continued past it to bird the lower elevation temperate forest. This provided us a few other species that we hadn’t seen before. One of them was the endemic Cusco Brushfinch, along with Brown- backed Chat-Tyrant, Scaled Metaltail, Shining Sunbeam, Tit-Like Dacnis, and a cute White-browed Conebill. www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.18 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019

In addition to them we also had some of our old friends like Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant, White-banded and White-throated Tyrannulets, Cinereous Conebill, Spectacled Redstart, Mountain Wren and the attractive Chestnut-bellied Mountain-Tanager which gave us awesome looks. Eventually we went back up to the pass and found small a patch of Polylepis forest, where we picked up Tawny Tit-Spinetail, White-winged Diuca- Finch, Taczanowski’s Ground-Tyrant and the odd Stripe-headed Antpitta. We ate our packed lunch while waiting for Andean Condors to come over. After a while, we were fortunate to get a pair of them soaring right above us. Next we targeted the endemic White-tufted Sunbeam, and yes, indeed, there was one feeding in a flowering bush. In the end our patience paid off. We went back to the hotel for some rest and easy birding in the hotel grounds, finding Black-throated Flowerpiercer, Bearded Mountaineer, and the long tailed Black- tailed Trainbearer feeding on the flowers near our cabins.

Bearded Mountaineer, another species endemic to Peru

September 9: After breakfast, we took the trail to Aguas Calientes, which is the base for visiting world famous Incan city of Machu Picchu. Along the way, we had chance to bird from the train where we saw at least 24 Torrent and White-capped Dippers along the Urubamba River. Once we arrived in Aguas Calientes and dropped off our stuff, we took the bus up to the ruins where our local cultural guide Freddy was waiting and gave us the wonderful tour of the site for two and half hours. Fortunately, we had a lovely clear and warm day, and we even saw very low soaring Andean Condor right above the ruins which was absolutely stunning. After such a great experience at this unique place, we went to have lunch in the restaurant near the ruins. After the delicious buffet lunch, we did a little bit of birding in the surrounding area, where we saw the endemic Inca Wren which came very quick to playback and an aproachable White-winged Black-Tyrant. Once www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.19 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Peru: Manu and Machu Picchu August- September 2019 we had finished with this awesome site, we took the bus back to the town. The driver left us half way there, giving us a chance to bird our way to the hotel, picking up Mottled-cheeked and Sclater’s Tyrannulets, Ocellated Piculet, Highland Elaenia, Tropical Parula, Speckle-faced Parrot, Golden-crowned Flycatcher, Streaked Xenops, Saffron-crowned Tanager, Mitred Parakeet, Capped Conebill, Andean Solitaire, Variable Antshrike, and the endemic Masked Fruiteater which gave us some awesome looks.

September 10: After breakfast, we did some in the surrounding area, where we saw a lot of birds that were now familiar like Andean Cock of the Rock, Russet-crowned and Pale-legged Warblers, Chivi Vireo, Dusky Oropendola, and Cinnamon Flycatcher. New for the trip were Glossy-black Thrush, Dull-colored Grassquit, Common Tody-Flycatcher, Torrent Tyrannulet, and Silvery Tanager. We even had a moment to do some souvenir shopping by the train station. We took the afternoon train back to Cusco where we spent the night.

Andean Cock-of-the-rock

September 11: Today was our last day birding in this friendly country. We started with an early flight to Lima and then headed south to a little fishing village called Pucusana. Along the way there, we saw a few species like West Peruvian Dove, Croaking Ground-Dove, Scrub Blackbird, and the noisy Long-tailed Mockingbird. Reaching Pucusana, we got out of the van and quickly saw Belcher’s Gull, Ruddy Turnstone and the endemic Surf Cinclodes running along the beach looking for food. We hired a small boat to take us around for about one and half hours. Peruvian Pelicans boldly came in to follow our boat, looking for some snacks. Later on we saw a bunch of other species that we were looking for like Peruvian Boobby, Blackish Oystercatcher, a bunch of Elliot’s Storm-Petrel feeding along the Ocean surface, and a lot of beautiful Guanay and Red-legged Cormorants building nests and bringing food to chicks. Just before turning around, we got pretty close to some Humboldt , and the captain threw out some extra fish to attract the stunning Inca Terns. We went to have lunch in a nearby restaurant, enjoy super fresh seafood just recently caught. Before returning to Lima, we had one more stop before calling an end to our southern Peru trip. Fortunately, our stop at Pantanos de Villa wildlife refuge was very productive, as we saw Peruvian Meadowlark, Groove-billed Ani, Amazilia Hummingbird, Pied-billed, White-tufted, and Great , White-cheeked Pintail, Common Gallinule, and Gray-hooded and Kelp Gulls. After dinner and a final checklist, it was time to say goodbye to each other and hoping to travel together again in the future. Thanks to all for making this trip very successful.
