Its use as a meaningful taxonomic indicator has been defunct for well over a century, as the “warblers” encompass hundreds of thin-billed, insectivorous passerines across more than a dozen families worldwide. This is not itself an issue, as many other passerine names (flycatcher, tanager, sparrow, etc.) share this common name “polyphyly”, and conventions or modifiers are widely used to designate and separate families that include multiple groups.

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.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

  • Chile Trip Report April 2015
    BIRDING CHILE APRIL 11 – 29, 2015 A BIRDING AND LOGISTICS REPORT We visited Chile at a rather unconventional time, as most birding groups visit the country in the austral spring/summer. This report was mostly written at the time of the trip, but due to an additional 4 months of traveling through the tropics it never was finished. Although this report doesn’t include the depth and breadth of information I originally planned it to have, I decided to publish it anyway. There is very little information available for birding trips to Chile in April, so hopefully this will be helpful to others that decide to travel to the country during the austral fall. For blog posts on the trip (and a lot more pictures) visit the Chile section of Budgetbirders.com TRIP ITINERARY April 11 – Arrived Santiago 0300, SUMMARY departed for Punta Arenas 0800 WHEN and arrived 1630 Most birding groups visit Chile during the austral spring or April 12 – Laguna Los Palos, summer (Nov-Mar) when resident birds are breeding and Route 9, Puerto Natales, Torres migrants are present. Due to schedule constraints we visited Del Paine Chile in the austral fall. Despite not being the prime time of April 13 – Torres Del Paine (Lago year, overall we had a very successful trip. Most of the typical Gray Trail), Sierra Bagueles Chilean target species were still present but we missed April 14 – Route 405, Port several austral migrants, most notably 3 species from Delgada Ferry, Porvenir tyrannidae, White-sided Hillstar, Austral Rail, and Creamy- rumped Miner.

  • Panama's Canopy Lodge: El Valle De Anton (Private) 2018
    Field Guides Tour Report Panama's Canopy Lodge: El Valle de Anton (Private) 2018 Mar 18, 2018 to Mar 25, 2018 John Coons & Danilo Rodriguez Jr. For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. This Chestnut-headed Oropendola is looking rather menacing as it eyes David¹s camera. We saw a lot of these at the feeders as well as at the large tree with 30+ nests. Photo by participant David Baker. We had a great week of birding at the very comfortable Canopy Lodge in the cool foothills at El Valle as members of the Mearns Bird Club shook off the cold of Orange County, NY to migrate south to Panama. I did a bit of researching and could not find any reference to Edgar Alexander Mearns spending any time in Panama so you were all representing the name well as we birded wet and dry forests, open pastures, a large city park, coastal lowlands and marshes. Except for our day birding the Rio Indio and Jordanal area where we had a day of rain the weather was spot on, not too hot and fairly dry. Even on our wet day we did quite well with the specialties we searched for. Highlights of the trip were many and included those Crested Bobwhites walking right across the road at Juan Hombron, great views of several Swallow- tailed Kites, a wonderful Spectacled Owl on a day perch, the Common Potoo on its branch, perhaps on a nest, finally getting our White-tipped Sicklebill, the thin-tailed male Green Thorntail, the very fancy and diminutive Rufous-crested Coquette, scope views of the rare Snowcap, Orange-bellied Trogon, five species of motmots including our Tody Motmot, Barred Puffbird being harassed by a few hummingbirds, great looks at Keel-billed Toucans, our good view of Dull-mantled Antbird, a cooperative Long-tailed Tyrant exposed on a broken limb, Lance-tailed and Golden-collared manakins, the great look at the Rosy Thrush-Tanager, seeing a few Golden-winged Warblers getting ready to head north, and the Crested Oropendolas working at their nests, among many others.

  • Classic Colombia
    Visiting a colony of Black Oropendolas was one of the highlights of the trip (Trevor Ellery) CLASSIC COLOMBIA 24 FEBRUARY – 15 MARCH 2019 LEADER: TREVOR ELLERY The 2019 BirdQuest classic Colombia tour was supremely successful, not just in that we saw almost all the target species but in that we also managed to add in a few special surprises. In total we recorded 702 species, including 58 endemics and a wealth of specialities. Among the endemics, we logged pretty much all the available Santa Marta species. Our list of specialties is almost as long and mouthwatering, including such species as Yellow-headed Manakin, Military Macaw, Black Oropendola, Grey-cheeked Nunlet, Noble Snipe, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, Wattled Guan, Dwarf Cuckoo, Hooded Antpitta, Masked Mountain Tanager, Chestnut-crested Cotinga, Tocuyo Sparrow, Tanager Finch and Masked Saltator. It really was a superbly birdy tour and of course filled with stunning scenery and remarkably diverse habitats. We crisscrossed the country, taking in three Andean cordilleras, two deep and endemic rich valleys and the isolated sky island, formed by the Santa Marta Mountains. We also visited the arid scrub semi desert of the 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Classic Colombia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com Guajira and the rich wetlands of the Caribbean coast. We of course enjoyed the wonderfully friendly Colombians we met along the way and managed to add in a few memorable mammal encounters too. We enjoyed fantastic views of Red-rumped Bush Tyrant on our first day (Trevor Ellery) Our tour started with an early morning visit to Paramo Sumapaz, the largest Paramo in the world.

Abstract. – Visual system in the Green-backed Firecrown (Sephanoides sephaniodes) and the White- sided Hillstar (Oreotrochilus leucopterus): electroretinography and color. – Most avian groups have trichromatic and tetrachromatic color vision. Since some flowers are known to exhibit UV-specific color patterns, UV vision might be important in identifying them as food resources. Previous studies indicated that some trochilids have four cone types, with the corresponding visual pigments, including one which is sensitive to ultraviolet light (325–360 nm). However, in a few hummingbird species, a high preference for red color has been reported. Therefore, there is no consensus in the color mechanism that participates in food selection. Here, we study the electroretinograms (ERG) from five (male and female) Green-backed Firecrowns (Sephanoides sephaniodes) and one White-sided Hillstar (Oreotrochilus leucopleurus). These humming- birds are most sensitive to approximately 560 nm and have low UV sensitivity. Most flowers on which these hummingbirds forage are yellow, orange and red, with low UV reflectance. Their spectral sensitivity is tied to their double and single cones and their oil droplets which act as color filters.
