Avenida Lomas de Arena, Casilla 3566, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Abstract We surveyed the Serrania Sadiri for birds at elevations between 500-950m for a combined total of 15 days in three different months. The area surveyed was along the Tumupasa/San Jose de Uchupiamones trail at the edge of Parque Nacional Madidi in Depto. La Paz, Bolivia. We report observations of 231 species of birds detected by sight and sound, including many outlying ridge specialists. We report and present photographs of a new species for Depto. La Paz (Caprimulgis nigrescens), the second Bolivian localities for Porphyrolaema prophyrolaema, Zimerius cinereicapillus, and Basileuterus chrysogaster, and five new species records for Parque Nacional Madidi. Introduction Foothills and outlying ridges of the Andes are From the small village of Tumupasa (14°8'46" S, often very difficult or impossible to access. As a 67°53'17" W; 400 m a.s.l; Figures 1 and 2), an old result, many of the specialist bird species in these trail leads generally southwest over the Serrania areas are poorly known and some only recently Sadiri to the town of San Jose de Uchupiamones described, and these areas generally have unique (14°12'47" S, 68°03'14" W; 520 m a.s.l). -

And, as I was enjoying the view from the plane’s window, I was wondering how to start an introductory paragraph highlighting the best experiences and birds of our Manu Biosphere Reserve tour. I found it to be a difficult task, not only because we came across an impressive number of habitats, but also because we saw so many wonderful birds! As I was still on that international flight, it didn’t take me long to figure out that I should, instead, divide this Field Report into four major areas and describe the amazing experiences and wonderful birds we enjoyed in each one. With that in mind, here we go! THE HIGH ANDES – PUNA Once we landed in Cusco, and after a wonderful breakfast, our tour started in the Huarcapay Lagoon, where 3 individuals of the rarely encountered Chilean Flamingo were observed. Here, we also saw Puna, Yellow-billed and Cinnamon teals, Spot-winged Pigeon, a vocal Plumbeous Rail, the beautiful White-tufted Grebe, several Andean Gulls, the secretive Rusty-fronted Canastero (endemic to Peru), and the Rufous-naped Ground-Tyrant, which is easily camouflaged by its gravel color. -
A New Genus and Species of Furnariid (Aves: Furnariidae) from the Cocoa-Growing Region of Southeastern Bahia, Brazil
THEWILSONBULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 108, No. 3 SEPTEMBER 1996 PAGES 397-606 Wilson Bull., 108(3), 1996, pp. 397-433 A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF FURNARIID (AVES: FURNARIIDAE) FROM THE COCOA-GROWING REGION OF SOUTHEASTERN BAHIA, BRAZIL Jose FERNANDO PACHECO,’ BRET M. WHITNEY,‘J AND LUIZ P. GONZAGA’ ABSTRACT.-we here describe Acrobatomis fonsecai, a new genus and species in the Furnariidae, from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Bahia, Brazil. Among the outstanding features of this small, arboreal form are: black-and-gray definitive plumage lacking any rufous: juvenal plumage markedly different from adult; stout, bright-pink legs and feet; and its acrobatic foraging behavior involving almost constant inverted hangs on foliage and scansorial creeping along the undersides of canopy limbs. Analysis of morphology, vocal- izations, and behavior suggest to us a phylogenetic position close to Asfhenes and Crani- oleuca; in some respects, it appears close to the equally obscure Xenerpesres and Meto- pothrix. New data on the morphology, vocalizations, and behavior of several furuariids possibly related to Acrobatornis are presented in the context of intrafamilial relationships. We theorize that Acrobatornis could have colonized its current range during an ancient period of continental semiaridity that promoted the expansion of stick-nesting prototypes from a southern, Chaco-PatagonianE’antanal center, and today represents a relict that sur- vived by adapting to build its stick-nest in the relatively dry, open, canopy of leguminaceous trees of the contemporary humid forest in southeastern Bahia. Another theory of origin places emphasis on the fact that the closest relatives of practically all (if not all) other birds syntopic with Acrobatomis are of primarily Amazonian distribution. -

This Is the SOUTH EASTERN CARIBBEAN BIRD ALERT (2003- 01) for 10Th January 2003
SCBA 2003-01 This is the SOUTH EASTERN CARIBBEAN BIRD ALERT (2003- 01) for 10th January 2003. Sponsored by the T&T Field Naturalist Club, our aim is to promote birding and ornithology in the southeastern Caribbean by fostering communication among resident and visiting birders regarding the study of birds in the region. The SCBA and information about the TTFNC, T&T Rare Birds Committee and Photo Gallery are accessible at http://www.wow.net/ttfnc. Reports should be sent to Martyn Kenefick by phone at 674-7609 or by Email at "[email protected]" The TTRBC requests details for species indicated with an asterisk (see website above and RARE BIRD REPORTING below). From the Bocas Is off of north west Trinidad, comes a report on 7th Jan of 2 DARK BILLED CUCKOOS* at Chacachacare. This former resident of Trinidad has not been recorded for many years. In the Caroni plain of Trinidad, at Caroni ricefields on 7th Jan, only one wet field held a flock of shorebirds. However, this included 3 KILLDEER* (first record for at least 4 yrs); 200 LEAST SANDPIPERS , 25 SEMI PALMATED PLOVERS and 4 GREATER YELLOWLEGS. Also present were 7 fully grown LEAST GREBES and 2 chicks, 2 PIED BILLED GREBES, 3 PINNATED BITTERNS, a MASKED DUCK* and the sub-adult male SNAIL KITE. In south west Trinidad at Roussilac swamp on 7th Jan a BAT FALCON few over and single GREEN THROATED MANGO and LONG BILLED STARTHROAT were found. Further north,up the coast at Brickfields, an adult winter plumaged RING BILLED GULL and a first winter LESSER BLACK BACKED GULL were seen later the same day. -
Colombia, February-March 2016
Tropical Birding Trip Report Colombia, February-March 2016 Colombia February 25th to March 10th, 2016 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos by Nick Athanas White-whiskered Spinetail – bird of the trip! It had been a while since I had guided a Colombia trip, and I had forgotten how neat the birds were! This two week customized tour combined a Northern Colombia trip with some of the best sites in Central Colombia. The weather was beautiful, the birds were spectacular and cooperative, and most importantly we had a fun and friendly group; we all had a blast. Custom trips are a great option for groups of friends that like to travel together, and it really worked well this time. I really love that White-whiskered Spinetail was voted “bird of the trip” – it’s the only time I can remember a spinetail winning that honor – it’s an often unappreciated group, but this one is really special and we had point-blank views. Runner up was Santa Marta Antbird, which was also highly deserving as one of the newest splits of a truly www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Colombia, February-March 2016 amazing genus. Other favorites were Golden-winged Sparrow, Russet-throated Puffbird, Scarlet Ibis, Turquoise Dacnis, Blue-billed Curassow, Red-bellied Grackle, Sword-billed Hummer, Crested Owl, Chestnut Piculet, Striped Manakin, and shockingly, even a couple of tapaculos, which impressed some by showing amazingly well. We started off in the “megapolis” of Bogotá, which served as our base for the first few nights as we made day trips to nearby sites in the eastern cordillera of the Andes.
