Tour Report Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics & Multicoloured Tanager Tour

Tour participants: Alejandro Solano (leader) with eight Naturetrek clients on the Multicoloured Tanager Tour and seven on the Santa Marta Endemics tour

Introduction

This report covers two tours: the Colombia - Multicoloured Tanager Tour which ran from 1st to 11th February, and the Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics tour which ran from 10th – 19th February. The overlapping dates were travelling days and allowed both tours to be taken ‘back-to-back’. The report was kindly compiled by tour client David Ferguson, together with tour leader Alejandro Solano.

Summary

Three clients completed both tours, with five flying home after the first tour and another four arriving for the second. The first tour started near the southern end of the Cauca Valley at Cali and ended 200 kilometres further north, having visited the western and central ranges of the Andes. The second tour took us to the Caribbean coast and the extraordinary coastal massif of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, with its world-beating concentration of endemics!

The weather on the first few days was characterised by sunny mornings and cloudy afternoons, although it did rain on the morning of the third day. Otherwise it was largely dry and sunny. Temperature varied with altitude, being very hot on the coast and cool (but not cold) at high altitude.

Day 1 Thursday 1st February

The group had an uneventful overnight flight from the UK to Bogota.

Day 2 Friday 2nd February

The flight landed at 4.15am at Bogotá airport and after a two hour wait, we caught a domestic onward flight to Cali. After landing we met Alejandro, transferred to our minibus and drove to Club Campestre, a country club with extensive grounds that included lawns, lakes and trees. Here we had breakfast and found our first endemic; Colombian Chachalaca. Southern Lapwing, Greater Ani and Spot-breasted Woodpecker were also seen.

From there we drove to Finca Lolita, a rustic retreat in extensive grounds and our base for the next two nights. Here we found Mourning Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler and White-naped Brush-finch. The hummingbird feeders and the banana tray brought in some interesting and colourful birds: another Colombian Chachalaca, Black-capped and Scrub Tanagers and several stunning hummingbird species.

Later we walked to the cloud forest edge of San Antonio where we saw the endemic Grayish Piculet, Blue- headed Parrot, Bar-crested Antshrike, Streak-headed Antbird, Fulvous-breasted Flatbill and Crimson-backed Tanager, among many others.

Day 3 Saturday 3rd February

Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics & Multicoloured Tanager Tour Tour Report

We departed early for Queremal on the Old Buenaventura Road. Breakfast was at Doña Dora where we sat under cover (it was now raining) watching the hummingbird feeders and the banana trays. The feeders were typically busy with Green Thorntails, White-tailed Hillstars, Green-crowned and Empress Brilliants and a Velvet- purple Coronet, while the trays attracted Toucan Barbet and Red-headed Barbet as well as Flame-rumped and Summer Tanagers. Nearby, now in sunshine, a Double-toothed Kite was perched.

Further along the road at Río Blanco we encountered Golden-collared Manakin, Scarlet-browed and Tawny- crested Tanagers, Buff-throated and Black-winged Saltators and Slate-colored Grosbeak. After lunch we returned to La Lolita.

Day 4 Sunday 4th February

We left La Lolita early for Finca Alejandria. On the way we stopped in cloud forest where we picked up Andean Solitaire, Golden-winged Manakin, Beryl-spangled Tanager and Crimson-rumped Toucanet. From there a short drive brought us to Finca Alejandria where there was an amazing array of hummingbird and tanager feeders scattered around the beautiful grounds. Here the stars of the show were the Multicolored Tanagers, arguably outclassing the brilliantly coloured opposition: Golden, Silver-throated, Saffron-crowned, Golden-naped and Blue-winged Mountain Tanagers and Green Honeyeater. Hummingbirds were abundant with 17 species in all including an elusive Blue-headed Sapphire. The supporting cast included Masked and White-sided Flowerpiercers.

After lunch we headed for Laguna del Sonso, a wetland site. Notable among the many ducks, herons and ibises were a pair of Comb Ducks and a Limpkin. The newly built small tower gave us eye-level views of Spectacled Parrolets. On the walk there was the endemic Apical Flycatcher and hunting Snail Kites, whilst nearby a Plumbeous Kite perched in a tree.

We then drove to Buga where we stayed at the Hotel Guadalajara.

Day 5 Monday 5th February

We left before dawn for Montezuma, changing into two four-wheel drive vehicles at Pueblo Rico. A petrol stop was notable for the Black-fronted Mango’s nest containing two well-grown young, which had been built on an overhead cable.

At Montezuma the feeders were busy with hummingbirds; 14 species in all. The Purple-throated Woodstars were particularly noticeable with seemingly clouds of them hovering round a feeder like bees round a honey-pot.

After lunch we headed up the mountain where we birded in cloud forest. Notable among the many small birds dodging though the leaves were Ornate Flycatcher and Uniform Treehunter. Rather easier was the Olive Finch which appeared at close range to feed on food put out by our local guide.

Day 6 Tuesday 6th February

Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics & Multicoloured Tanager Tour Tour Report

A pre-dawn start took us as high as we could go without invading the military post at the top of the mountain. We then walked down the road with the vehicles following. Carrying binoculars and long-lens cameras in view of a military establishment is mildly fraught, so the sight of a group of armed soldiers marching down the road towards us was somewhat alarming. However, it was reassuring to note that the sergeant was grinning broadly! It transpired that he wanted to make a video whose theme would be that tourists were now safe to come to Colombia. He lined us up across the road, two of the soldiers held out a Colombian flag and the sergeant spoke the words while another soldier made the video using a smartphone. Apparently it was to go on their Facebook page. They then marched back up the mountain.

Meanwhile birds were continuing to be found. Brown-bellied Swallows flew overhead, while at least three wrens lurked in the scrub: Sooty-headed Wren, Grey-breasted Wood Wren and the endemic Munchique Wood Wren. Another notable star of the mourning was the fable Colombian Chocó endemic, Chestnut-bellied Flowepiercer.

After lunch we birded in cloud forest where we had good views of Golden-ringed Tanagers and difficult views of three antbirds: Streak-headed, Parker’s and Zeledin’s Antbirds. The night was spent in Montezuma.

Day 7 Wednesday 7th February

A post breakfast walk in the grounds produced a number of interesting birds: Golden-winged Warbler, Blue- capped Tanager and Blue-necked Tanager among others. We then had a roadside walk in search of manakins, finding two very mobile species: Club-winged and Western Striped Manakins.

The lunch at a roadside restaurant was memorable for the steak which the writer was confronted with. It was the best he had eaten for many years. It was to his eternal regret that he couldn’t quite finish it, having had a substantial meal the previous evening and knowing that, in all probability, he would have another the coming evening.

After lunch we then drove to Otún Quimbaya, stopping just before our destination at a bridge where, in the river below, we saw a pair of Torrent Ducks, a Torrent Tyrannulet and a White-capped Dipper. The grounds of our hotel were surrounded by forest and here we quickly encountered our first Red-ruffed Fruitcrows, followed by the rare and endemic Cauca Guan.

Day 8 Thursday 8th February

An early morning walk along a wide track allowed us the entertaining sight of seven Chestnut Wood Quails racing across the track. Red-ruffed Fruitcrows were again seen well, along with Masked and Collared Trogons and Sickle-winged Guan.

In the afternoon we drove to Embalse de Cameguadua, an attractive wetland site. Here we encountered wintering North American waders, egrets, ibises and (just) the rare Blackish Rail. A pair of the handsome Bar- crested Antshrike gave very good views.

We spent the night in a very nice lodge in extensive grounds on the outskirts of Manizales.

Day 9 Friday 9th February

Another early start enabled us to be at Rio Blanco for one of the highlights of the trip - antpittas. In the space of an hour we saw four: Bicoloured, Chestnut-crowned, the endemic Brown-banded and Slaty-capped Antpittas, all at feeding stations. A Green-and-black Fruiteater at the Chestnut-crowned Antpitta feeder was a bonus. We walked down the road seeing Sickle-winged Guan, Grey-browed Brushfinch, Bar-bellied Woodpecker and, later, Golden-plumed Parakeets at a nest-hole, Crimson-mantled Woodpecker and Golden-headed Quetzal. Back in the vehicles and on our way back to the lodge, an Andean Motmot perched in the open low over the track.

Day 10 Saturday 10th February

The day began, after the obligatory coffee, with a drive beyond the tree-line and into the paramo of Nevado Ruiz. Here, for the first time, it was distinctly cool and several layers were required. After a hurried breakfast in a small café, we went in search of the endemic Rufous-fronted Parakeet. In this we were successful with some actually landing nearby. Further up we found the amazing and endemic Buffy Helmetcrest quite easily, but possibly the moment of the day was delivered by a Tawny Antpitta which raced across the road like a rocket- propelled Usain Bolt. One of our party, incredibly, managed to obtain some photographs. Other birds seen in this beautiful terrain were Andean Tit-spinetail, White-chinned Thistletail and Stout-billed Cinclodes.

Back below the tree-line we had lunch at a hotel which had hummingbird feeders. Some of the birds seen were Buff-winged Starfrontlet, Sword-billed Hummingbird, Great Sapphirewing, Mountain Avocetbill (which was eating a banana!), and Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanager.

We then left for Pereira and the flight to Bogota, where we said goodbye to those leaving for home and retired to a city hotel.

Day 11 Sunday 11th February

Local start of Santa Marta Endemics tour At breakfast in the hotel the three who were staying on met the four people who had arrived that morning for the Santa Marta tour. After breakfast we drove to La Florida Park on the northern outskirts of the city, weaving past the crowds of lycra-clad cyclists who were setting out on a Sunday run.

The reed-fringed lake gave us the endemic Bogota Rail and Apolinar’s Wren, the bright yellow but elusive Subtropical Doradito, Yellow-hooded Blackbird and Spot-flanked Gallinule. In the trees we found Andean Siskin and Rufous-browed Conebill. We left the park, now busy with locals enjoying the sun on a Sunday afternoon, and headed for the airport where we caught the flight to Riohacha on the Caribbean coast.

Day 12 Monday 12th February

The narrow band of flat ground between the coast and the extraordinary Santa Marta Mountains is dry open forest with desert-like areas. Here, at Camarones, we found Vermilion Cardinal, Double-striped Thick-knee, Burrowing Owl, Buffy Hummingbird, Brown-throated Parakeet, Chestnut Piculet and White-whiskered Spinetail. We had lunch at a beach-side restaurant by the Sanctuary los Flamencos where a hot, very strong wind

Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics & Multicoloured Tanager Tour Tour Report

blew. This made scanning the offshore birds difficult although we did manage to find Royal and Caspian Terns among the many Cabot’s Terns.

After lunch we drove to Las Gaviotas; a trail through dry forest. Russet-throated Puffbird and a group of Red Howler Monkeys were memorable. We then continued upwards, finally arriving at the Sierra Sound Hotel at the edge of the small town of Minca.

Day 13 Tuesday 13th February

For the rest of the holiday we were transported in two 4x4s, the minibus being unsuitable for the rocky roads we were to drive on. The morning was spent above Minca and the afternoon below Minca on La Cabaña Rd. During the day an ‘eyes to the skies’ policy produced two King Vultures among the ubiquitous Turkey and Black Vultures, and a Zone-tailed Hawk. A pair of stunning Military Macaws, shining in the sun, also crossed the blue. Among the trees we encounterd the endemic Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner, White-bearded Manakin and Golden- crowned Warbler, among many others.

Day 14 Wednesday 14th February

In the morning we drove up the track towards El Dorado lodge, where we were to spend the next three nights. We stopped frequently, finding Gartered Trogon, Keel-billed Toucan, Santa Marta Toucanet (a sub-species of Emerald Toucanet), Scarlet-fronted Parakeet, Slaty Antwren, Santa Marta Antbird, Santa Marta Tapaculo, Grey- breasted (Bang´s) Wood Wren, White-necked Thrush and Golden-winged Sparrow. We stopped at a small café for refreshments and where there was a chance of Santa Marta Woodstar on the flowering bushes. However the woodstar failed to show.

We checked in to the El Dorado lodge with its beautiful grounds and numerous feeders then had lunch. There was one disturbing piece of news - the strong winds had damaged the power lines so there was no electricity. The main building was using a generator but the chalets where the guests stayed were without power. Oil-lamps were provided however. Power was restored on our final day.

The rest of the day was spent in the grounds of the lodge. Every hummingbird feeder was busy. The dominant species was Crowned Woodnymph with up to six at one feeder, while the most elusive was the endemic White- tailed Starfrontlet, which was only seen twice. At one ground feeder were a group of Black-fronted Wood Quails while at another, Band-tailed Guans, Sickle-winged Guans and a Slaty-backed Nightingale-Thrush were seen.

Day 15 Thursday 15th February

After a very early start we drove up the San Lorenzo Ridge along a very rocky track until we came to a small sanctuary where, looking to the north, we could see the distant Caribbean. However, the main attraction was much closer, a Santa Marta Antpitta which, after much coaxing from one of the local guides, gave excellent views. On the way back to El Dorado we managed to see Gartered and Masked Trogons, Golden-breasted Fruiteater, White-lored Warbler and Brown-rumped Tapaculo.

Colombia - Santa Marta Endemics & Multicoloured Tanager Tour Tour Report

After lunch we drove to Palo Alto where we tried for Santa Marta Blossomcrown and Santa Marta Woodstar in the flowering bushes there but failed. After dinner we tried for Santa Marta Screech Owl but only heard one.

Day 16 Friday 16th February

We again drove up the San Lorenzo Ridge to a lookout point with a tower, interrupting the journey with another session looking for the woodstar and blossomcrown, again without success. Birds we did see during the day were: Black-backed Thornbill, White-tipped Quetzal, Scaly-naped Amazon, Santa Marta Parakeet, Rusty-headed Spinetail, Montane Elaenia, White-throated Tyrannulet and Plain-breasted Hawk (a sub-species of Sharp-shinned Hawk).

After dinner we tried again for Santa Marta Screech-Owl and this time we were successful. In a tree by the track, torchlight gave us a superb view of this small owl staring down at us.

Day 17 Saturday 17th February

After breakfast we drove the track to Minca where we had lunch, stopping to try, once again, for the elusive woodstar and no more failing: success! On the river which flowed past the hotel we saw the only Green Kingfisher of the trip.

In the afternoon we birded around Minca. During the course of the day we added to the list a pair of roosting Black-and-white Owls, Long-billed Hermit, Collared Aracari, Scaled Piculet, Lineated Woodpecker, Orange- billed Nightingale-Thrush, Clay-colored Thrush and Purple Honeycreeper.

Day 18 Sunday 18th February

Early morning again saw us above Minca where we watched a flock of around 40 Military Macaws leaving their roost site in small groups. We were now on our way to Santa Marta airport for the flight to Bogota but we made a diversion to Vale Rd for the endemic Chestnut-winged Chachalaca, which proved successful. Other new birds seen on the journey were Black Hawk-Eagle, Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, Whooping Motmot, Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, Yellow-olive Flatbill, Olivaceous Flatbill, Panamanian Flycatcher and Lance-tailed Manakin.

On arriving at Bogata we said goodbye to those who were staying on for another tour and to Alejandro, our excellent leader. The flight to Heathrow was on schedule.

Day 19 Monday 19th February

Our return flight landed in the UK, where another Naturetrek adventure came to an end.
