Checklist-Of-Birds-Osa-Costa-Rica Final.Pdf

The Osa Peninsula is in the South Pacific region of Costa Rica supporting some of the largest stands of mature tropical forest left on the Pacific coast of Mesoamerica. The Osa is well know for being one of the most biologically intense places on earth holding 2.5% of the world’s biodiversity. It is an extremely important wintering area for Neotropical migratory birds and well over half of Costa Rica’s avifauna including a handful of threatened and endemic species. This checklist includes birds from the Osa Peninsula and the entire Osa Conservation Area (ACOSA) where you will find nearly 500 species spread across 15 parks, reserves and refuges including Costa Rica’s crown jewel Corcovado National Park. These irreplaceable reserves protect a wide range of natural habitats that offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy birds in breathtaking settings. The Front Cover: This image is the Scarlet Macaw, an iconic bird that is abundant on the Osa Peninsula. This beautiful species has lost a considerable amount of habitat across the Central American portion of its range. Fortunately, the Osa is one of the Scarlet Macaws’ remaining strongholds in Meso America and can be found just about anywhere! The taxonomy and nomenclature follow the American Ornithological Society (AOS) checklist of North and Middle American birds, 7th Edition. The Spanish names come from A Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica by Stiles and Skutch. Key to Residency M = Migratory Neotropical migratory birds PM = Passage Migrant Birds that pass through the area during migration but don’t stay E = Endemic Birds that are endemic to Costa Rica RE = Regional Endemic Birds that are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama M/Res = Migrant/Resident Birds that have both resident and migrant populations BM = Breeding Migrant Birds that migrate to Costa Rica to breed * International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list species are listed and highlighted in red.

Long-Term Changes in the Bird Community of Palenque, Chiapas, in Response to Rainforest Loss
Biodivers Conserv (2010) 19:21–36 DOI 10.1007/s10531-009-9698-z ORIGINAL PAPER Long-term changes in the bird community of Palenque, Chiapas, in response to rainforest loss Michael A. Patten Æ He´ctor Go´mez de Silva Æ Brenda D. Smith-Patten Received: 18 March 2008 / Accepted: 22 July 2009 / Published online: 6 August 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract With increased human populations and subsequent pressure to develop or farm land, the rate of fragmentation of tropical rainforests has accelerated in the past several decades. How native organisms respond to such fragmentation has been the subject of intense study in temperate ecosystems and at several tropical sites in Central and South America, but there has been little study of this phenomenon in Mexico, the country bridging the Neotropics and temperate North America. A reason for this neglect is an apparent lack of long-term data; however, such data can be obtained from ‘‘non-tradi- tional’’ sources, such as birders and tour leaders. We make innovative use of such data, combining them with more traditional data (e.g., museum specimens) to create a record of occurrence for Palenque, Mexico, from 1900 to 2009, including a near-continuous pres- ence–absence record since 1970. We analyzed these data using logistic regression and, importantly, recent statistical advances expressly for sighting records. As recently as the 1960s Palenque’s forest was contiguous with that of Selva Lacandona to the east, but the protected area surrounding the famous ruins is now a forested island. As a result, various species formerly known from the site have disappeared, including species both large (Crax rubra, Penelope purpurascens, and Ara macao) and small (Notharchus hyperrhynchos, Malacoptila panamensis, Microrhopias quixensis, and Pachyramphus cinnamomeus).

Final Recovery Plan Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax Traillii Extimus)
Final Recovery Plan Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) August 2002 Prepared By Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Recovery Team Technical Subgroup For Region 2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103 Approved: Date: Disclaimer Recovery Plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved Recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Some of the techniques outlined for recovery efforts in this plan are completely new regarding this subspecies. Therefore, the cost and time estimates are approximations.

COSTA RICA: the Introtour (Group 1) Feb 2017
Tropical Birding Trip Report COSTA RICA: The Introtour (Group 1) Feb 2017 A Tropical Birding set departure tour COSTA RICA: The Introtour 13th - 23rd February 2017 (Group 1) Tour Leader: Sam Woods (Report and all photos by Sam Woods) This Keel-billed Toucan lit up our first afternoon, near Braulio Carrillo National Park. The same day also featured Thicket Antpitta and THREE species of owl during the daytime… Ferruginous Pygmy, Crested and Spectacled Owls. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report COSTA RICA: The Introtour (Group 1) Feb 2017 INTRODUCTION There can be few countries in the World as welcoming to birders as Costa Rica; everywhere we went birds were plentiful and frequently people with binoculars were in attendance too. Indeed, Costa Rica makes you feel odd if you are NOT wearing a pair. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of some of the most revered sites in Costa Rican birding; we started out near San Jose in the dry Central Valley, before driving over to the Caribbean side, where foothill birding was done in and around Braulio Carrillo National Park, and held beautiful birds from the outset, like Black-and-yellow Tanager, Black-thighed Grosbeak, and daytime Spectacled and Crested Owls. A tour first was also provided by a Thicket Antpitta seen well by all. From there we continued downslope to the lowlands of that side, and the world famous La Selva Biological Station. La Selva is a place where birds feel particularly plentiful, and we racked up a heady list of birds on our one and a half days there, including Rufous and Broad-billed Motmots, Black-throated Trogon, Pale-billed, Cinnamon and Chestnut-colored Woodpeckers, Keel-billed and Yellow-throated Toucans, and Great Curassow, to name just a few of the highlights, which also included several two-toed sloths, the iconic Red-eyed Tree Frog (photo last page), and Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs of the much publicized “blue jeans” form that adorns so many tourist posters in this Sarapiqui region.

THE BEST OF COSTA RICA MARCH 19–31, 2019 Buffy-crowned Wood-Partridge © David Ascanio LEADERS: DAVID ASCANIO & MAURICIO CHINCHILLA LIST COMPILED BY: DAVID ASCANIO VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM THE BEST OF COSTA RICA March 19–31, 2019 By David Ascanio Photo album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidascanio/albums/72157706650233041 It’s about 02:00 AM in San José, and we are listening to the widespread and ubiquitous Clay-colored Robin singing outside our hotel windows. Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.
