The Plaza de Armas is the center of the old city, with galleries, carved wooden balconies and ruins of Inca walls. The Santo Domingo convent, in the Baroque style, was built on the Inca Sun Temple (Qoricancha) and has archaeological remains of Inca stonework. Cuzco has many bird watching places, emblematic places and that ensure the enjoyment of any amateur and professional birdwatchers, they are also very close to the city of Cusco. HUMEDAL DE LUCRE - HUACARPAY Lucre - Huacarpay Lagoon is the eleventh wetland located by the Peruvian State as a Ramsar site of international importance. Its located in the district of Lucre, province of Quispicanchi, in Cusco Region and is accessed by the Cusco-Puno road 25 km from Cusco, at 3020 m. altitude, between 13°36´71´´ S and 71°44´21´´ Lucre - Huacarpay lagoon, constitutes a fragmenting set of lagoons, swamps and surrounding areas due to natural and anthropic activities. Lucre - Huacarpay lagoon is made up of 6 six water mirrors, which are permanent throughout the year.

The SACC says “Hellmayr & Conover (1948a) and many earlier classifications treated andium (Andean Teal) as a separate species from A. flavirostris. Many authors, from Meyer de Schauensee (1970) to Dickinson (2003), have treated andium as a subspecies of A. flavirostris. Anas andium was considered a separate species from Anas flavirostris by Ridgely et al. (2001), and this was followed by Hilty (2003). SACC proposal passed to recognize andium as separate species. 7 Jaramillo (2003) further suggested that the subspecies oxyptera may also deserve recognition as a separate species from A. flavirostris. 2.-Yellow-billed (Speckled) Teal - Anas flavirostris - Pato Barcino Seen over ten, common here 3.- Puna Teal - Spatula puna - Pato de la Puna Seen eight of them, common here Puna Teal Photo by Gina Anampa 4.- Cinnamon Teal - Spatula cyanoptera - Pato Colorado Seen a pair only Page 5 Copyrights Jacamar Club © 2020 Jacamar Club - Perú Cinnamon Teal Photo by Gina Anampa 5.- Andean Duck - Oxyura jamaicensis – Pato Andino One seen from the main over look. Andean populations have often (e.g., Hellmayr & Conover 1948a, Siegfried 1976, Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, AOU 1998, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001, Jaramillo 2003, del Hoyo & Collar 2014) been treated as a separate species, O. ferruginea ("Andean Duck" or "Andean Ruddy-Duck"). However, see Adams and Slavid (1984), Fjeldså (1986), McCracken & Sorenson (2005), and Donegan et al. (2015) for rationale for treating them as conspecific, as done previously (e.g., Blake 1977, Johnsgard 1979), and then followed by Fjeldså & Krabbe (1990), Carboneras (1992f), and Dickinson & Remsen (2013). Siegfried (1976) and Livezey (1995) considered ferruginea to be more closely related to O. vittata than to O. jamaicensis, but McCracken & Sorenson (2005) showed that this is incorrect. 6.- Plumbeous Rail - Pardirallus sanguinolentus - Rascón Plomizo About four seen in diferents sites Page 6 Copyrights Jacamar Club © 2020 Jacamar Club - Perú Plumbeous Rail Photo by Gina Anampa COLUMBIDAE: PIGEONS AND DOVES - PALOMAS Y TÓRTOLAS 7.- Eared Dove - Zenaida auriculata - Tórtola Orejuda Seen thirty of the them, very common 8.-Bare-faced Ground Dove - Metriopelia ceciliae – Tortolita moteada Seen two at north side of the lake.

Note that this species is a recent split from Common Moorhen of the old world (Gallinula chloropus) on the basis of morphological, genetic, and vocal differences (Groenenberg et al 2008). Common Gallinule, Photo by Ana Amable 18.- Slate-colored (Andean) Coot - Fulica ardesiaca - Gallareta Andina Several seen form the over looks. Called "Andean Coot" in Fjeldså & Krabbe (1990), Taylor (1996 and Ridgely et al. (2001) but other authors use Slate-colored Coot CHARADRIIDAE LAPWINGS AND PLOVERS / AVEFRÍAS Y CHORLOS 19.- Andean Lapwing - Vanellus resplendens - Avefría Andina Three seen in different sites LARIDAE: GULLS AND TERNS / GAVIOTAS Y GAVIOTINES 20.- Andean Gull - Chroicocephalus serranus - Gaviota Andina Seen twelve at main over look and more at the north side of the lagoon Page 9 Copyrights Jacamar Club © 2020 Jacamar Club - Perú ARDEIDAE: HERONS AND BITTERNS / GARZAS Y MIRASOLES 21.- Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis – Garcita Bueyera Seen six, very common THRESKIORNITHIDAE: IBISES AND SPOONBILLS / IBISES Y ESPÁTULAS 22.- Puna Ibis - Plegadis ridgwayi - Ibis de la Puna Seen several at Lucre – Huacarpay lagoon, very easy Puna Ibis, Photo by Ana Amable ACCIPITRIDAE: KITES, EAGLES, AND HAWKS / GAVILANES, AGUILAS, Y AGUILUCHOS 23.- Cinereous Harrier - Circus cinereus - Aguilucho Cenizo Seen only one 24.-Variable Hawk - Geranoaetus polyosoma – Aguilucho Variable One seen near Lucre river. Farquhar (1988) concluded that Buteo poecilochrous and B. polyosoma are conspecific, as they were formerly treated (REF); he was unable to find any way to reliably diagnose the two forms using plumage characters or measurements. Ridgely & Greenfield (2001), Jaramillo (2003), and Schulenberg et al. (2007) followed this treatment and suggested "Variable Hawk" be retained for the composite species. Genetic data (Riesing et al. 2003) are consistent with hypothesis that B. polyosoma and B. poecilochrous are conspecific. [incorp. Cabot & De Vries 2003, Vaurie 1962]. SACC proposal passed to treat as conspecific. Cabot & de Vries (2003, 2004, 2010) presented additional data that support their recognition as separate species. SACC proposal to re-elevate poecilochrous to species rank did not pass.

    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J. Collar (2014); 2.

  • An Introduction to the Bofedales of the Peruvian High Andes
    An introduction to the bofedales of the Peruvian High Andes M.S. Maldonado Fonkén International Mire Conservation Group, Lima, Peru _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY In Peru, the term “bofedales” is used to describe areas of wetland vegetation that may have underlying peat layers. These areas are a key resource for traditional land management at high altitude. Because they retain water in the upper basins of the cordillera, they are important sources of water and forage for domesticated livestock as well as biodiversity hotspots. This article is based on more than six years’ work on bofedales in several regions of Peru. The concept of bofedal is introduced, the typical plant communities are identified and the associated wild mammals, birds and amphibians are described. Also, the most recent studies of peat and carbon storage in bofedales are reviewed. Traditional land use since prehispanic times has involved the management of water and livestock, both of which are essential for maintenance of these ecosystems. The status of bofedales in Peruvian legislation and their representation in natural protected areas and Ramsar sites is outlined. Finally, the main threats to their conservation (overgrazing, peat extraction, mining and development of infrastructure) are identified. KEY WORDS: cushion bog, high-altitude peat; land management; Peru; tropical peatland; wetland _______________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION organic soil or peat and a year-round green appearance which contrasts with the yellow of the The Tropical Andes Cordillera has a complex drier land that surrounds them. This contrast is geography and varied climatic conditions, which especially striking in the xerophytic puna. Bofedales support an enormous heterogeneity of ecosystems are also called “oconales” in several parts of the and high biodiversity (Sagástegui et al.

WALKING WATERBIRDS unmistakable, elegant wader; no similar species in Chile SHOREBIRDS For ID purposes there are 3 basic types of shorebirds: 6 ‘unmistakable’ species (avocet, stilt, oystercatchers, sheathbill; pp. 89–91); 13 plovers (mainly visual feeders with stop- start feeding actions; pp. 92–98); and 22 sandpipers (mainly tactile feeders, probing and pick- ing as they walk along; pp. 99–109). Most favor open habitats, typically near water. Different species readily associate together, which can help with ID—compare size, shape, and behavior of an unfamiliar species with other species you know (see below); voice can also be useful. 2 1 5 3 3 3 4 4 7 6 6 Andean Avocet Recurvirostra andina 45–48cm N Andes.

However, confirmation is scarce in natural populations. Here we studied the major haemoglobin genes of eight Andean duck lineages and compared them to 115 other waterfowl species, including the bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) and Abyssinian blue-winged goose (Cyanochen cyanopterus), two additional species living at high altitude. One to five amino acid replacements were significantly overrepresented or derived in each highland population, and parallel substitutions were more common than in simulated sequences evolved under a neutral model. Two substitutions evolved in parallel in the aA subunit of two (Ala-a8) and five (Thr-a77) taxa, and five identical bA subunit substitutions were observed in two (Ser-b4, Glu-b94, Met-b133) or three (Ser-b13, Ser-b116) taxa.

  • Notes on Some Argentine Anatids
    NOTESON SOME ARGENTINEANATIDS' MILTON W. WELLER ROM mid-August, 1964, until late July, 1965, I was engaged in field work F in Argentina studying waterfowl. Although special emphasis was placed on the Black-headed Duck (Heteronetta atricapilla) , 28 species of anatids were observed in various parts of Argentina. Because so little is known of these species, some general observations are summarized and discussed in the hope that it will point out gaps in our knowledge and encourage additional work on this interesting group. Field work was financed by Grant GB-1067 from the National Science Foundation. Studies of museum specimens in the United States were financed by a Chapman Grant of the American Museum of Natural History, and aided materially in appraising the significance of plumage sequences in Neotropical ducks. AQUATIC HABITATS Although the distribution of Argentine birds was considered by Dabbene (1910) and by Olrog (19591, little comment has been made on the distribution of water types and their influence on waterfowl distribution. Some helpful botanical comments are given by Cabrera (1953) for the Buenos Aires region and, Wetmores’ (1926) observations on both botany and ornithology are excellent. Although time did not permit detailed botanical work during this study, some obvious differences in life-form of marsh vegetation were recorded in the areas visited (Fig. 1) in relation to the species composi- tion of waterbirds. The most extensive zone of freshwater and semipermanent marshes is found in an area roughly bordered by the cities of Venado Tuerto (Santa Fe), Buenos Aires, General Lavalle, Mar de1 Plats and Azul (Buenos Aires).
