Tour Summary

This grandiose journey through the birdiest country on earth fitted the moniker “Mega” in every sense of the word. Not only did we record nearly 1,000 species of birds, but we also birded in every available habitat, from the steamy lowland jungles of the Amazon, through verdant cloud forest and to high elevation paramo. In between, we visited productive wetlands in the Magdalena Valley, explored the dry forest in the Cauca Valley, spent time in all three Andean ranges, and finished in the endemic-rich Santa Marta Mountains with a final morning in the desert scrub of the Guajira Peninsula. The weather was incredibly cooperative, and we only had about an hour of rain combined during the entire trip while in the field – truly astounding for Colombia – but at times the sunny weather was too good, quieting things down early. The birding proved enjoyable and exciting every day of the twenty-eight days we spent in the field. With too many birding highlights to mention here, I just offer a short list of the favourites as chosen by participants: the Stygian Owl perched in a bare tree right next to the Chestnut-capped Piha Lodge, up to eight Blue-billed Curassows visiting the lodge in the Serranía de las Quinchas, a Beautiful Jay with its incomparable colours at Las Tangaras, a pair of near-endemic Chestnut-crested Antbirds that showed well for all in the terra firme forest of Mitu, and two adult Andean Condors soaring in the clear morning sky in the dramatic Los Nevados National Park, where less than ten of these magnificent birds remain. Of course, with nearly 60 endemics and almost 80 near-endemics found, there was much more, so continue reading. ______

Tour in Detail

This epic journey through the birdiest country on earth began with a welcome dinner in the capital of Bogota. Here, we had the chance to get acquainted and we discussed the plans for the coming days, acknowledging that we were headed for one of the best birding trips possible anywhere.

Our birding adventure commenced at one of the classic birding sites in Bogota, Parque la Florida, before we headed to the airport for an internal flight to Mitu. The wetlands, scrub, and scattered trees at the park proved to be as productive as usual. We, of course, were focusing on the endemic wetland species present, and once we reached the right spot were soon looking at a singing Apolinar’s Wren that offered great views as it hitched up to the top of a reed to perch in full view. The Bogota Rail took a bit more patience, but we all saw a bird that crossed a broad opening twice, even swimming slowly Grey-bellied Antbird by Stephan Lorenz across a channel for satisfactory views. A Spot-flanked Gallinule was loafing in the open. On the open water, we were able to scope Blue-winged Teal, rare Lesser Scaup, Andean Duck, and Least and Pied-billed Grebes; while the reedbeds held the sought-after Subtropical Doradito and showy Yellow-hooded Blackbirds. Additional excellent finds throughout the morning included the endemic Rufous-browed Conebill, the only Eastern Kingbird of the trip, White-bellied Woodstar, migrant Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and a variety of more widespread water birds. Swallows were also very active, and we added Brown-bellied Swallow, Brown-chested Martin, and Bank, Barn, and American Cliff Swallows.

Once we reached the airport, we had a quick lunch and then boarded our flight to Mitu, this one leaving right on time, something that would unfortunately not happen again for the other internal flights. We arrived in Mitu in the afternoon and, after dropping our bags at the hotel, headed out to bird right away. We focused on a road close to town near the community of Urania. What a change of pace, going from the Andes to lowland Amazon rainforest, and new birds came fast of course. The most exciting finds during our two hours of birding included Reddish Hermit, Green-tailed Goldenthroat, a pair of Bronzy Jacamars, White-chinned Sapphire, Red-throated Caracara, Red-bellied Macaw, Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher, uncommon Dusky-chested Flycatcher, palm-dependent Sulphury Flycatcher, scoped Amazonian Umbrellabirds, Black-tailed Tityra, White- vented Euphonia, Fulvous-crested Tanager, and showy Turquoise Tanager. This was just a short preview of what was to come during our three full days here. Cherrie’s Antwren by Stephan Lorenz

The town of Mitu and surrounding communities offer some of the best access and habitat diversity of the Colombian Amazon. Due to a variety of forest types occurring relatively close to town, it is possible to bird in species-rich terra firme, small sections of riparian forest along sluggish streams, and most importantly, nutrient-poor and stunted white sand forests that support a large variety of speciality species. During our first full day in Mitu, we covered the Mitù Cachivera and Senda Bocatoma areas with our local guide Miguel. For the early morning, we focused on the white sand forest, and while these stunted trees and open forests do not support a high species richness, several of the Mitu specialities occur only in this type of forest. We were very successful in tracking down a number of rare specialities during the morning, getting excellent views of Black-headed Parrot, Amazonian Antshrike, Cherrie's Antwren, Grey-bellied Antbird, Citron-bellied Attila, a scoped male Pompadour Cotinga, Saffron-crested Tyrant- Manakin, Black Manakin, White-browed Purpletuft, and range-restricted Brown-headed Greenlet; while Spot-backed Antwren was heard only. The trail also crossed several good stretches of taller terra firme forest, and the best finds in this habitat included good views of Amazonian Motmot, a scoped Collared Puffbird, Rusty-breasted Nunlet, White-plumed Antbird, Common Scale-backed Antbird, and a good variety of tanagers, dacnises, and honeycreepers. The open areas and edge habitats before we entered the forest also harboured a good diversity of new species, and we saw Speckled Chachalaca, Plain-breasted Ground Dove, Swallow-winged Puffbird, White- throated and Channel-billed Toucans, and Spangled Cotinga among more widespread Pavonine Quetzal by Stephan Lorenz species.

In the afternoon, we drove to an area where a dirt road passed several patches of forest interspersed with old chacras, or clearings, and the birding continued to be excellent right until sunset. Some of the highlights here included Blackish Nightjar and Common Potoo both seen well right after sunset, White- fronted Nunbird, Paradise Jacamar, Gilded Barbet, Yellow-tufted and Crimson-crested Woodpeckers, Lettered and Chestnut-eared Aracaris, three stunning Red-fan Parrots that perched for scope views, a responsive Buff- throated Foliage-gleaner, a troop of Azure- naped Jays that did a nice flyby, Yellow- bellied, Paradise, and Green-and-gold Tanagers, and one of the best finds, a pair of the scarce White-bellied Dacnis – little did we know that we would find more every day thereafter. Exhausted but elated from a 100+ species day, we returned to Mitu for a late dinner at a local restaurant and then retired in preparation for an early start the next Guianan Cock-of-the-rock by Stephan Lorenz morning.

We left Mitu well before dawn and drove out of town along the road leading to the Santa Cruz hydro- electrical station. Arriving in perfect time, just as first light trickled through the forest, we staked out an area on a bridge overlooking the black waters of a small stream. Right on cue, the first Fiery Topaz arrived, a large hummingbird with a long forked tail and vibrant colours of red, bronze, and gold. As we watched one catching insects right above the water, we noted at least two more males nearby for what was one of the most memorable bird spectacles of the entire trip. We then enjoyed a field breakfast accompanied by a Point-tailed Palmcreeper that climbed out onto a palm frond to proclaim its territory in full view, another uncommon species for the area. We then drove towards the main trail, with our progress interrupted by an adult Tiny Hawk perched in a bare tree and allowing lengthy scope views. For the remainder of the morning, we explored a new area called the Tayazu trail, which led through a very productive area of terra firme forest. We had an incredible number of highlights, including scoped Pavonine Quetzals (yes, more than one!), Great Jacamar, and Wing-barred Piprites, but the area proved especially productive for antbirds, and we recorded Fasciated, Mouse- colored, Pearly, and Cinereous Antshrikes, Negro Stipple-throated, Yellow-throated, White-flanked and Grey Antwrens, and rare Banded, Imeri Warbling, Dusky, Grey, Black-faced, Black-throated, the near- endemic Chestnut-crested, and Spot-backed Antbirds.

We enjoyed a bit of a rest and local lunch at Gorgeted Woodstar by Stephan Lorenz the dam headquarters, where we also tracked down locally rare Black-collared Swallows. In the afternoon, we visited a variety of roadside locations and hiked into some forest patches near Pueblo Nuevo. We again were able to track down a number of specialities and locally uncommon species, with

the headliners no doubt being a pair of Tawny-tufted Toucanets that showed really well, a scoped Chestnut-capped Puffbird, a calling Lemon-throated Barbet studied at length, locally uncommon Opal- crowned Tanagers, and yet another pair of White-bellied Dacnises. After such a bird-filled day, we returned to Mitu in the early evening and had another dinner at a local restaurant.

This was our final full day in Mitu, and we planned to make the most of it. One of the birds we set out for that morning was the improbable looking Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, thus we went on a trail in the Cerrito Verde area and tracked into some hilly, tall rainforest. A couple of steeper sections made the going tough, and we had to manoeuvre off trail a bit to arrive at a set of giant boulders forming overhangs and grottos preferred by the birds for nesting. After climbing between two boulders, we found one male in a display area and were able to study it at length in the scope in all its finery. Other good finds along the trails that morning included Scarlet Macaw, two Cinnamon-rumped Foliage-gleaners, a brief Black-headed Antbird, Greyish Mourner, a Pectoral Sparrow that shot right in to a bit of playback, another Pompadour Cotinga, a flock of Yellow-green Grosbeaks, and before turning back, a Long-tailed Woodcreeper showed well. After lunch in the local village, we hiked into disturbed forest, finding and a good selection of tanagers, and added Maroon-tailed Parakeet, Screaming Piha, Rufous-bellied Euphonia, Magpie Tanager, Opal-rumped Tanager, Black-faced Dacnis, and a flyby Short-tailed Nighthawk at dusk finished the Indigo-capped Hummingbird by Stephan Lorenz day.

We spent the final morning in Mitu along the road and trails towards the Urania community. We especially birded around the bridge and stream area just before the community, and the location proved so productive that we didn’t move for about two hours. The birding was fast and furious, with a slew of new species dropping in. From our vantage point on the bridge, we saw Blue-throated Piping Guan (a surprising first for the tour and a first for our local guides too), a Sungrebe swimming away slowly was another bonus, Green Ibis perched, a flighty American Pygmy Kingfisher, Black-chinned Antbird, Striped Woodcreeper, confiding Orange-cheeked Parrots, Slender-footed and specialised Amazonian Tyrannulets, Swallow Tanager, and Yellow-bellied Dacnis. This being just a sample of what we noted from one single spot. We walked through the community, quickly adding Drab Water Tyrant, White-banded Swallow, and Yellow-browed Tody- Flycatcher. We then staked out an area atop one of the rocky hills overlooking the rainforest, and while a Brown-banded Puffbird remained heard only, we did get good views of Lettered Aracari, Scale-breasted Golden-headed Quetzal by Stephan Lorenz Woodpecker, and another Pompadour Cotinga.

Before returning to Mitu for lunch, we waited in an open area near the bridge and had excellent views of a female Yellow-crested Manakin, a photogenic pair of Bronzy Jacamars, and heard another Brown- banded Puffbird. Back in Mitu, we learned that our flight was delayed for several hours, so we rested at the hotel a bit and then went back out towards the bridge area for some light birding. Setting up in the shade with some chairs, we enjoyed better views of some of the species seen that morning, and even added one or two to the trip list. Our flight was, unfortunately, seven hours delayed, and we arrived at the hotel in Bogota very late, delaying our start for the following morning.

We left the hotel mid-morning due to our late arrival the night before, and after making our way through Bogota traffic we arrived at Double-banded Greytail by Stephan Lorenz Laguna Tabacal. Despite it being late morning already, we walked the trails and picked up several key species, best of all the endemic Velvet-fronted Euphonia. Other species that we would not find again later in the tour included Jet and White-bellied Antbirds, Red-billed Scythebill, Ash-browed and Stripe- breasted Spinetails, Speckle-breasted Wren, and Grey-throated Warbler. After lunch, we moved on to Jardin Encantado, where the frenzied spectacle of hundreds of hummingbirds included 14 species, with the best of the bunch being Ruby-topaz Hummingbird, Gorgeted Woodstar, and endemic Indigo-capped Hummingbird. Despite the delay, we had made the most of the day, adding a good helping of trip birds.

This morning, we were back on a regular schedule with a pre- breakfast departure to tackle the lengthy drive to Chingaza National Park, our first venture to cloud forest and higher elevations in the Andes. Our first stop alongside some remnant woodland produced many new species for the trip, including Longuemare's Sunangel, Strong-billed Woodcreeper, White- throated and Black-capped Tyrannulets, a pair of Ochre-breasted Brushfinches – a very surprising find and first for the Mega tour – and also no less than four species of flowerpiercers. We reached the end of the trail and decided to head to higher elevations, which proved a good decision as we found some excellent activity, including several busy feeding flocks. At first, we had to make an impromptu stop when we spotted two scarce Black-collared Jays from the vehicles, which in turn led to a pair of Black-billed Mountain Toucans scoped at length, and two Pale-naped Brushfinches that came really close. We continued to the highest point in the road, where we glimpsed Rufous Antpitta, saw a Pale- bellied Tapaculo surprisingly well, called in a White-browed Spinetail, saw Mountain Cacique, and scoped a very distant Black-headed Hemispingus. Yet, it was after we had returned to Black Antshrike by Stephan Lorenz slightly lower elevations and healthy cloud forest that the birding picked up again in earnest. First, we had a flock of the scarce, endemic Flame-winged Parakeets fly in that sat long enough for scope views. Then a large feeding flock held Pearled Treerunner, White-banded

and Black-capped Tyrannulets, Barred Becard, Slaty Brushfinch, Superciliaried Hemispingus, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanagers, and Blue-capped Tanager. Nearby, we located three Andean Guans, saw the stunning Crimson-mantled Woodpecker, and successfully called in a Golden-headed Quetzal that landed on an open branch right in front of us.

We then had a delicious local lunch in a nearby town before heading to the Siecha Gravel pits. Our list of target species here was very short, since we had done so well at Parque la Florida, and being short on time we only made a quick visit. A bit of stomping around in the wet grasses got us excellent flight views of a Noble Snipe, the bird sailed right past us for detailed studies of this well- marked snipe. During the late afternoon, we visited the Observatorio de Colibries, a private residence with many hummingbird feeders that hosted ten species of hummingbirds during our visit, including White-mantled Barbets by Stephan Lorenz Black-tailed and Green-tailed Trainbearers, Glowing Puffleg, Sword-billed Hummingbird, and the speciality of the location, a female Blue-throated Starfrontlet came in. We also staked out the parking area and caught up with several key species here. Best of all was a single, endemic Silvery-throated Spinetail that showed very well, and two Red-crested Cotingas in the scope. After such a successful afternoon, we tackled the drive back to Bogota.

We had another travel day ahead of us, but before heading to the airport we drove to the outskirts of Bogota and visited a private cloud forest reserve, Parque Natural Chicaque. This small park has a productive hummingbird feeder setup with Golden-bellied Starfrontlet being the star attraction here, and we had excellent views of several starfrontlets during a thirty-minute wait, also adding several Collared Incas and Tourmaline Sunangels. For the remainder of the morning, the birding proved slow at first, with White-throated Toucanet, Spillmann's Tapaculo, Grey-browed Brushfinch, and Buff-breasted Mountain Tanager lured from the dense bamboo with a lot of patience. We systematically birded along the entrance road until we finally found a large feeding flock that kept us busy for the better part of an hour. This massive flock contained Montane Woodcreeper, Streaked Xenops, White-throated Tyrannulet, Barred Becard, Common Chlorospingus, uncommon Moustached Brushfinch, Black-crested and Russet-crowned Warblers, Black-capped, Black-eared and Superciliaried Hemispingus, Grass-green Tanager, Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanager, Beryl-spangled Tanager, Capped and Rufous-browed Conebills, and the unique Plushcap. Unfortunately, a severe traffic Blue-billed Currasow by Stephan jam delayed our arrival at the airport and we had to reschedule our Lorenz flight until the evening.

We were able to enjoy a bit of a rest after a scrumptious lunch at the airport before flying to Bucaramanga. We arrived at the Reinita Azul Lodge outside of the small town of San Vicente de Chucurí for a late dinner, and retired to our rooms quickly to prepare for what is usually one of the most diverse days of the tour.

We woke up before dawn for breakfast and then made our way on foot down the entrance road, focusing our birding efforts on the coffee and cacao plantations below the actual reserve. It ended up being one of our best days in terms of overall diversity, and by the end of the day we had recorded 133 species of birds. Of course, we focused our search on the specialities and endemics of the area, and the best finds included the stunning Beautiful Woodpecker (very rare here and a welcome surprise), the range- restricted Niceforo's Wren, the rarely-seen Double-banded Greytail that dropped down right to eye-level for unprecedented views, the uncommon Black-headed Brushfinch, and the endemic Turquoise Dacnis, which proved very common throughout the morning. Other good birds during the morning included Savanna Hawk, Laughing Falcon, Pale-breasted Spinetail, Slate-headed Tody-Flycatcher, Band-backed and Black-bellied Wrens, Yellow-legged and Spectacled Thrushes, and Plain-colored Tanager. During the afternoon, we explored another road going through plantations and open forest, where we added White- tipped Swift, Andean Motmot, Slaty Spinetail, and Red-rumped Stygian Owl by Stephan Lorenz Woodpecker. After dinner, we did a bit of owling around the lodge and had great views of Tropical Screech and Mottled Owls. We all agreed that this day had been an epic twelve hours of birding.

A very early start saw us setting out for the cloud forest reserve well before dawn. Some of us tackled the steep trail to the edge of the forest on horseback, while others elected to walk. We all made it in good time and entered the forest while it was still dark, but unfortunately, no owls called or moved. We spent nearly the entire day hiking up parts of the historical Lengerke trail that offers access to this unique cloud forest. We spent the first hour after dawn at a set of feeders where we found Lined Quail-Dove visiting a seed feeder and heard Gorgeted Wood Quail calling in the distance. Once we entered the forest, we called in a superb male Crested Quetzal, tracked down Uniform Antshrike, Plain Antvireo, Slaty Antwren, and had a White-bellied Antpitta run across the trail. A large feeding flock held Brown-billed Scythebill, Plain Xenops, Buff-fronted and Montane Foliage- gleaners, Spotted Barbtail, Variegated Bristle-Tyrant, Plumbeous-crowned Tyrannulet, Three-striped Warbler, and White-winged, Speckled, Metallic-green, and Golden Tanagers. One fruiting tree held a dozen Golden-winged Manakins, Green- and-black Fruiteater, and Ashy-throated Chlorospingus. We Chestnut-capped Piha by Stephan returned to the lodge in the early evening, with some of us riding Lorenz down and others walking. After such a long day in the forest, we

enjoyed an early dinner and some rest.

We had a lengthy travel day ahead of us, driving from the Reinita Cielo Azul Reserve to the remote El Paujil Reserve to the south- west. During the drive down, we made a few short stops to look for some specific birds, but overall spent most of our time on the road. Our first stop in some drier forest yielded a few new species in the form of Yellow- throated Toucan, Scrub Greenlet, and Thick- billed Seed Finch. After lunch, we reached the turnoff towards the El Paujil Reserve, a rough dirt road winding its way past cattle pastures and broken forest to the remote Sierra de las Quinchas. In order to tackle the Black Solitaire by Stephan Lorenz rough road, we had to board a “chiva”, a big open vehicle with large tires that can easily negotiate the potholes and soft sand of the rough country roads. We made several stops at various wetlands and added an excellent variety of species to our growing trip list, including Northern Screamer, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Greater Ani, a responsive Striped Cuckoo, White-throated Crake in the open, Wattled Jacana, Russet-throated Puffbird, Yellow- crowned and Orange-winged Parrots, Caribbean Hornero, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, Pied Water and White-headed Marsh Tyrants, extrovert Black-capped Donacobius, and Red-breasted Blackbird. After the bumpy ride, we reached the entrance road to the reserve and lodge and a short jeep drive or quick walk brought us to the welcomed lodge and dinner.

We had a full day to explore the species-rich El Paujil Reserve, and since this was the lowest elevation we had explored up to that point, many new species were waiting for us. Starting well before dawn, we made the most of the day by birding around the lodge first, then walking up the entrance road to a low ridge, and exploring a few short trails with a field lunch midday. We again managed to record more than 100 species, with several of the star attractions of the reserve seen very well. Foremost on everyone’s wish list was the Blue-billed Curassow, of course – an endangered, endemic cracid that numbers no more than 200 individuals in the wild, with the largest population found right in the reserve. We didn’t have to wait very long, as a fine male emerged from the dense forest and paraded around in front of us on its way to the feeding station right by the lodge.

A few minutes later, we heard the next major target, the Orange-breasted Fruiteater by distinctive Black-billed Flycatcher, and a bit of waiting Stephan Lorenz eventually earned us great scope studies. For the next species, we had to go off trail a bit, but we eventually spied a male Black Antshrike calling from dense bamboo, and all ended up with amazing views of this skulker as it called for minutes on end. We then hiked up the road, adding many of the potential birds to our list, including a soaring Black Hawk-Eagle, Rufous

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia - 1000 Birds Mega Tour II 2018 10

and Broad-billed Motmots side by side in the same shady ravine, Barred Puffbird by the roadside, Cinnamon Woodpecker flying over, Red-lored Parrots, Bicolored Antbird showing well, a Brown- capped Tyrannulet descending from the canopy, and Southern Bentbill. On the ridge itself, we worked the forest carefully, finding a trio of endemic White-mantled Barbets, more Beautiful Woodpeckers, and fast-flying Saffron-headed Parrots. We continued birding right into the afternoon, adding the unique Bare- crowned Antbird, Black-striped Woodcreeper, Lesser Greenlet, and Yellow-backed Tanagers.

We spent the first hours of the morning along a trail near the lodge before gathering our gear to take a boat back to Puerto Pinzon and the chiva. In the early morning not one, not two, but an incredible eight Blue-billed Curassows visited the feeding station, a sizeable percentage of the world population, and, needless to say, many photographs were taken. Other additions to our list included Marbled Wood Quail heard in the distance, a pair of One-colored Becards, Orange-billed Sparrow, and an Orange-crowned Oriole seen well from the tower. After our short boat ride, we boarded the chiva again to tackle the bumpy ride back to the main road, seeing the only Rufescent Tiger Heron and Pied Puffbird along the way. Once we reached the main road, we transferred back into the van, made a quick lunch stop, and then completed the short journey to Lyre-tailed Nightjar by Stephan our next birding locale, the beautiful and productive Reserva Lorenz Natural Cañon del Río Claro.

We checked into the nearby hotel first and then made our way to the reserve in order to hike along the stream and reach the oilbird cave at dusk. The late afternoon along the entrance road proved very productive, with the clear highlight being a Grey-cheeked Nunlet that called from a concealed perch. Although it took a long time to spot the bird high in the canopy, in the end the effort was worth it, as we all ended up with extended scope views of this uncommon species. The other highlight was a pair of Magdalena Antbirds that showed well along the main trail, with one bird sitting on the same perch and preening for many minutes. We got into position at the small beach overlooking the cave entrance, acquired some requisite refreshments for that hour of the day, and all enjoyed the noisy spectacle of two dozen Oilbirds emerging from the cave after dark. What a perfect way to finish another bird- filled and exciting day in Colombia.

This was our full day in the Rio Claro area, and this lush canyon offers an exciting mix of endemic lowland species and several Choco specialities at their range limits here. We started the day Beautiful Jay by Stephan Lorenz with a predawn breakfast in the reserve, and then trekked up a short but steep trail into prime habitat. The highlights for the morning were many, and two or three feeding flocks offered constant birding, some of the new species included White-whiskered Puffbird, Citron-

throated Toucan, Pacific Antwren, Black-capped Pygmy Tyrant, Black-headed Tody-Flycatcher, a pair of rare Slaty-winged Foliage-gleaners that offered incredibly close views, and Black-tailed Flycatcher. For those that pushed on as the trail became increasingly muddy and steep, we finally found the endemic Sooty Ant Tanager that gave fantastic views. In the afternoon, we added Black-throated Trogon, Double- toothed Kite, Olivaceous Flatbill, Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher, and Tawny-crested Tanager. With another travel day ahead of us, we retired right after dinner at the hotel.

Today was mainly a travel day, as we left right after breakfast. It took the better part of ten hours to make our way to the remote RNA Arrierito Antioqueño, also known as the Chestnut-capped Piha Reserve, and we had very little time for birding en route. In addition, a little bit of rain – the first for the tour – thwarted birding efforts a bit. Once we arrived at the lodge, we checked in and staked out the feeders as a dense fog rolled across the mountains. The hummingbird feeders offered a few new species in the form of Green-crowned Brilliant, Purple-throated Woodstar, Western Emerald, and Steely-vented Hummingbird. Yet it was after dark that we found the best bird of the day, which in the end was voted the bird of the trip. We set out onto a nearby trail, but failed to elicit a response from any owls. During the walk back, we heard a distant Stygian Owl, and after we manoeuvred into the right spot were able to call the bird into a bare tree right in the driveway of the lodge. Even folks that had skipped owling could look out from their rooms and see the bird. Munchique Wood Wren by Stephan A fantastic end to a long, long travel day. Lorenz

The Chestnut-capped Piha Reserve was set aside to protect its namesake bird, a large species of piha that was discovered as recently as 1999. The bird can be readily found in the reserve, although we had to hike all the way to the top of the ridge and a good distance along it before we found a responsive bird. We were well rewarded for our efforts, as the views and photographic opportunities were exceptional. Other good finds during our morning on the trails included Green-fronted Lancebill near the waterfall, Lanceolated Monklet in the scope, several colourful Red-headed Barbets, Crimson-rumped Toucanet, showy Parker's Antbirds, a well-seen Stiles Tapaculo, localised Sooty-headed Wren, and absolutely incredible views of the uncommon Scarlet-and-white Tanager. In the late afternoon, we visited a nearby wetland, where we heard Russet-crowned Crake and Blackish Rail, and added Wedge-tailed Grassfinch in the weeds nearby.

We decided to revisit some of the lower trails in the Chestnut-capped Piha Reserve before starting the long drive to Las Tangaras Reserve. As we walked up the Tanager Finch by Stephan Lorenz trail, we added several species we would not find again

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia - 1000 Birds Mega Tour II 2018 12

during the tour, including heard-only Pavonine Cuckoo, two Ruddy Foliage-gleaners that showed very well, and the first Silver-throated Tanager. A busy feeding flock also offered better views of several species we had seen the previous day. We then started the long drive towards the Cauca Valley as the road snaked its way out of the mountains to eventually reach some straight stretches in the hot lowlands of the valley. A quick stop for coffee got us our first Acorn Woodpeckers of the trip, plus a few other species that showed well on the feeders. We then made an important stop along a side road going through a unique pocket of dry forest. Within one hour of birding, we found all the main target species, starting with a nice pair of Apical Flycatchers, then a responsive Antioquia Wren, and ending with no less than three Greyish Piculets – all three species are localized endemics. We also added Scarlet-fronted Parakeet, Golden-crowned Warbler, and Black- striped Sparrow to the trip list in the same place. With such quick success, we tackled the last leg of the journey and arrived at the comfortable Las Tangaras Chestnut-crowned Antpitta by Stephan Lorenz Lodge for a late but delicious dinner.

Las Tangaras Reserve is one of the crown jewels of the Proaves reserves, and we planned to spend two full days exploring the rich mid-elevation cloud forest here. The list of hoped-for species was long, including many Choco endemics, and during our first full day we set out well before sunrise to see what we could find. At dawn, we birded along the road and true to the reserve’s name, the first birds to show were a variety of tanagers – by the end of the day, we had seen Rufous-crested, Black-and-gold, Blue- winged Mountain, Black-chinned Mountain, Purplish-mantled, Glistening-green, Rufous-throated, Beryl-spangled, Saffron- crowned, Golden, and Silver-throated Tanagers. We then entered the trail, and in a cleared area scoped the large and uniquely patterned White-headed Wren. The short section of trail that we covered until lunchtime was filled to the brim with birds. First, we found a calling Cloud-forest Pygmy Owl that stayed long enough for saturation scope views, and then a vocal, endemic Crested Ant Tanager emerged from the thickets to reveal its flashy red crest. We bumped into a large feeding flock of insectivores that included Rufous-rumped and Yellow- breasted Antwrens, Spotted Woodcreeper, Pacific Tuftedcheek, Scaly-throated Foliage-gleaner, Spotted Barbtail, Star-chested Treerunner, Variegated and Marble-faced Bristle Tyrants, Cinnamon and Handsome Flycatchers, and Sepia-brown Wrens.

At the farthest point along the trail, we discovered a busy fruiting tree that not only held two rare Black Solitaires, but also Orange-breasted Fruiteater, Olivaceous Piha, Andean Solitaire, Buff-tailed Coronet by Stephan and Glossy-black Thrush. Back on the road, we found a roosting Lorenz Lyre-tailed Nightjar, a stunning pair of Toucan Barbets, plus

Chestnut-breasted and Yellow-collared Chlorophonias. Just after lunch, we visited the hummingbird feeders where, at the last moment, a White-tailed Hillstar came in for a quick visit. Other new hummingbird species included Violet-tailed Sylph, Greenish Puffleg, Brown Inca, Buff-tailed and Velvet-purple Coronets, Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Fawn-breasted and Empress Brilliants. We happily returned to our beautiful lodge set by a rushing river, and even added a Sickle-winged Guan in the gardens just before sunset.

For the second full day at Las Tangaras, we split into two groups, with some tackling the longer, steep trail to the ridge, and the other group focusing on the road. We started the long hike predawn and quickly made our way to the highest point in the trail, where we enjoyed a field breakfast. Carefully birding back and forth along the upper portions of the trail, we found two large feeding flocks and added a few species to the growing list. Some of the best finds included Chestnut Wood Quails calling in the valley below, Bronze- olive Pygmy Tyrant, heard-only Scaled Golden-plumed Parakeet by Stephan Lorenz Fruiteater, Chestnut-breasted Wren, an incredible Olive Finch in the middle of the trail, and several species from the day before. For the afternoon, we focused our efforts on the road, where we had even better views of the endemic Red-bellied Grackles we had found the previous day – an excellent species to catch up with at Las Tangaras, where it is uncommon at best – and finally, after much effort, we found the colourful Beautiful Jay that posed at length for us. A group of the uncommon Rufous-crested Tanager was another excellent find before we returned to the lodge.

A very early start saw us boarding three jeeps to tackle the rough road to higher elevations and the Reserva Natural de las Aves Gorrión Andivia, also known as the Tanager Finch reserve. For the first hour of daylight, dense fog and some drizzle made the birding difficult, but we still found some exceptional species, including a trio of White- capped Tanagers that were vocal but hardly visible in the fog, and a close feeding flock contained the uncommon Rufous Spinetail and Red-hooded Tanager. One of the main targets here, the Munchique Wood Wren showed very well after it cleared a bit. We had to try a few more spots, but in the end a pair of Tanager Finches emerged from the dense undergrowth to sing in the open a mere metre from us – one of the definite highlights of the morning. We drove back to the lodge for an early lunch and then set out on the drive towards Manizales, where we arrived for a late dinner after we ran Buffy Helmetcrest by Stephan Lorenz into some serious traffic jams.

During the morning at Rio Blanco, we had an appointment to keep, or should I say several appointments. Rio Blanco Reserve was the first location in Colombia where antpittas were regularly fed, and we hoped to catch up with at least three or four species in the morning. We arrived at the main lodge in good time for breakfast and some birding in the open areas. A flock Rusty-faced Parrots flew in right on cue, and we were able to get excellent scope views. Later in the morning, a flock of noisy Golden-plumed Parakeets settled in nearby for close views of this stunning species. The hummingbird feeders were also busy, and we added Tourmaline Sunangel, Speckled Hummingbird, Long-tailed Sylph, and Bronzy Inca. Then the time had come for us to walk to the first feeding station, where the endemic Bicolored Antpitta had been making sporadic visits. It turned out to be quite an anxious wait, but eventually, the bird came in twice and even stayed around long enough for good photo opportunities. The next feeding station didn’t just harbour one, but two species of antpittas, and a pair of Chestnut-crowned and a single Brown- banded Antpitta came almost too close for photos. For the remainder of the morning, we Wattled Guan by Stephan Lorenz walked the trails through dense cloud forest and ample stands of bamboo, finding such specialities as Masked Trogon, Yellow-vented Woodpecker, Streak-headed Antbird, Streaked Tuftedcheek, White- tailed Tyrannulet, Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant, Dusky Piha, Black-billed Peppershrike, Mountain Wren, Lacrimose Mountain Tanager, Blue-and-black Tanager, and Grey-hooded Bush Tanager. Then we moved downhill, where we located two White-capped Dippers at a stake-out. Before a late dinner at the lodge, we did a short owling session and got close to calling White-throated Screech and Rufous-banded Owls.

We had a busy morning ahead of us as we planned to travel to the highest elevations we would reach during the tour, nearly 4,000 metres in the dramatic Parque Nacional Los Nevados. Starting before daylight, we drove along the winding road making its way up the flank of the massive volcano. We stopped first in some elfin cloud forest, where we quickly found several key targets of the morning, including the amazing Golden- crowned Tanager, uncommon Black-backed Bush Tanager, Rainbow-bearded Thornbill, and Crowned Chat-Tyrant. Along a small side trail, we obtained excellent scope views of the rare and endemic Rusty-fronted Parakeet, Andean Tit-Spinetail, and a pair of Stout-billed Cinclodes.

During the drive higher up, we spotted a Black-chested Buzzard- Eagle soaring above. At the visitor centre, the birds fell into place White-tipped Quetzal by Stephan like clockwork. As we exited the van an Andean Condor flew Lorenz over, followed by a second bird moments later, both adults and a new species for the Mega tour. We counted ourselves very lucky, since less than ten condors remain in the park. Other targets that we saw well included the neat Buffy Helmetcrest and skulky White-chinned

Thistletail. We drove further down to check another patch of paramo, where we had great views of a Tawny Antpitta and a Many-striped Canastero. We then moved on to a nearby hotel and hot spring that has a very productive hummingbird feeder setup; and while we only spent a short time there, we added Golden-breasted Puffleg, Mountain Velvetbreast, Buff-winged Starfrontlet, Shining Sunbeam, and Great Sapphirewing.

Taking the scenic route back towards Manizales, we made two or three stops and were able to hear the rare Crescent-faced Antpitta, but the bird soon went quiet among very dense undergrowth. We drove through the city and soon found ourselves surrounded by immense cloud forest along the Rio Otun, we made several stops along the river to look for river specialists and the final stop before the reserve was the best. Here, we scoped a male Torrent Duck resting on a rock, several Torrent Tyrannulets flitting close, and another pair of White-capped Dippers. After checking in, we even had some time to bird in Band-tailed Guan by Stephan Lorenz the garden, where we saw the first endangered Cauca Guan, one of the specialities of the reserve. We enjoyed a dinner in the large dining hall, moved to a quieter room to catch up with our lists and then caught up on some much-needed sleep.

We only had a short morning at the productive Otun Quimbaya Reserve, but we definitely made the most of it. The absolute highlight of the morning and maybe the entire trip was a Hooded Antpitta that came within a few metres of us and perched in the open on a mossy branch. That was not even the first antpitta for the day, as we had all seen the larger Moustached Antpitta hopping in the road right after dawn a few minutes earlier. Our excellent luck held for the rest of the morning, as we worked our way carefully through two or three feeding flocks, adding several uncommon species, including the much hoped-for endemic Multicolored Tanager, of which we saw several very well, a responsive Rusty-winged Barbtail, a well-seen Wattled Guan in addition to more Cauca Guans, a White-throated Wedgebill, Rufous-breasted Flycatcher, two showy Red-ruffed Fruitcrows, and another Chestnut-breasted Wren.

We had to bid farewell all too soon to this amazing birding spot, but northern Colombia was calling. We left for the airport with plenty of time to spare, but alas our bad luck with internal flights remained with us. Upon arriving at the airport in Pereira, we learned that it was closed – yes, the entire airport closed indefinitely. Some replanning, checking flights, and brainstorming on how to stay on schedule found one solution. We had to drive to Cali, four hours away, and take a late Vermillion Cardinal by Stephan evening flight from there to Barranquilla. We had plenty of Lorenz time to make the drive, and even switched vans halfway there.

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia - 1000 Birds Mega Tour II 2018 16

A short rest stop and a bit of incidental birding gave us the only Tooth-billed Tanager of the trip. We had dinner in the Cali airport, but our bad luck just stuck with us as the flight to Barranquilla was again delayed. We arrived at the hotel in Barranquilla very late, but decided to stay on schedule since we had too many important birds to see early the following morning.

This day was not only memorable for the early start after a very short night, but also for the incredible number of bird species – more than one hundred, and many of them new additions to our trip list. We started at dawn in Barranquilla, where we found half a dozen of the endemic Chestnut-winged Chachalacas at a stake-out. We then drove out of Barranquilla across the mouth of the mighty Magdalena River and birded along a small road winding its way through pastures and wetlands. In the ponds and sloughs, we found Russet-throated Puffbird by Stephan Lorenz Purple Gallinules, Limpkins, Wattled Jacanas, Snail Kites, a locally rare Least Bittern, plus many other species of herons and ibis. The surrounding brush and fields held Russet-throated Puffbird, Stripe-backed Wren, and Yellow Oriole.

We then drove to Parque Nacional Isla de Salamanca, where we spent several hours birding along the boardwalk and trails accessing productive mangroves. After some searching, we found both Sapphire- throated and Sapphire-bellied Hummingbirds, Brown-throated Parakeet, Northern Scrub Flycatcher, Grey Kingbird, many Prothonotary Warblers, and Bicolored Conebill. We continued towards Minca, passing the large lagoons of Cienaga, where several short stops added many shorebirds, gulls, and terns to our list. Between the two main stops we made, we found Grey, Wilson's, and Semipalmated Plovers, a Whimbrel, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Short-billed Dowitchers, Greater Yellowlegs, Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers, and Willets. Our lunch stop was also incredibly bird-rich, as it overlooked a lagoon filled with gulls and terns, and we even added an uncommon Pomarine Skua here. The flocks of terns included Yellow-billed, Large-billed, Gull-billed, Caspian, Common, and Royal Terns. We continued to Minca, where we checked into the hotel and then went out for some late afternoon birding. We followed a small road near town, with the goal of staking out an area for the uncommon Military Macaw, which worked well as we had good flight views and distant perched views of a dozen birds in the late afternoon. Other new species included Whooping Motmot, Pale-eyed Pygmy-Tyrant, and Golden-fronted Greenlet.

The morning started with a calling Ferruginous Pygmy Owl in the hotel gardens, and we revisited some of the same areas from the previous afternoon. One of the best finds included a pair of Black-backed Antshrikes Buffy Hummingbird by Stephan Lorenz that showed very well and two Long-billed Gnatwrens.

We then slowly worked our way up the road towards the El Dorado Lodge and Reserve, taking our time as we made many stops and saw an incredible array of specialities and endemics. The morning could not have gone any better, and some of the fantastic species we recorded included a male Santa Marta Woodstar in the scope, Coppery Emerald, Santa Marta Antbird, Santa Marta Tapaculo, Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner, Rufous-breasted and Rufous-and- white Wrens, Golden-winged Sparrow, White-lored Warbler, and Rusty Flowerpiercer. For the afternoon, we decided to return to slightly lower elevations and added a perched Black-and-chestnut Eagle, a scoped pair of Groove-billed Toucanets, the Santa Marta form of White-throated Toucanet, and Rusty-breasted Antpitta. The hummingbird feeders around the lodge attracted Lazuline Sabrewings that were new for us. After dinner, we went up the road a bit to try our luck with the Santa Marta Screech Owl, and although we got close twice, we only managed brief flight views.

In order to reach the highest elevations on the San Lorenzo Ridge, we had one of the earliest starts of the trip, but our efforts were well worth it as we found several rare endemics in the stunted cloud forest on the ridge and near the lagoon. First, we saw a pair of Santa Lacrymose Mountain Tanager by Stephan Marta Warblers very well, then the endemic White- Lorenz tailed Starfrontlet, distant White-rumped Hawk, heard-only Santa Marta Parakeets, skulky Santa Marta Antpitta, Streak-capped and Rusty-headed Spinetails, the recently split Hermit Wood Wren, many confiding Santa Marta Brushfinches, the endemic Yellow-crowned Whitestart, and Santa Marta Mountain Tanager. In the afternoon, we birded near the lodge, adding Black-fronted Wood Quail at the feeders, a pair of stunning White-tipped Quetzals, Black-throated Tody-Tyrant, Golden-breasted Fruiteater, and Golden Grosbeak. Our second try for the Santa Marta Screech-Owl got us again close to a calling bird, but no visuals, while a Spectacled Owl also called in the distance.

This morning, we bid farewell to the incredible El Dorado Reserve and what must be one of the finest birding locations in all of Colombia. During the drive down, we made several stops to pick up any species we were still missing, most importantly the endemic Santa Marta Blossomcrown, which we saw well at a lek. We also found Grey-throated Leaftosser that came in very close and a Spectacled Tyrannulet. In the drier forest at a lower elevation, we picked up Long-billed Starthroat, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Scaled Piculet, Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush, incredibly good views of the skulky Rosy Andean Condor by Stephan Lorenz Thrush-Tanager, Barred Antshrike, and the beautiful Black-headed Tanager. For the remainder of the day, we travelled towards Riohacha with many short stops along the way. As the habitat transitioned from humid forest to drier woodland and then scrub,

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia - 1000 Birds Mega Tour II 2018 18

we found every single target species during our stops, plus a few bonuses. We were able to add several species that have restricted ranges in Colombia, including Rufous-vented Chachalaca, Double-striped Thick-knee, Green-rumped Parrotlet, Blue-crowned Parakeet, Trinidad Euphonia, and Glaucous Tanager. A perched Crane Hawk was also a welcome addition. We even made it in time to Camarones to watch the evening ingress of birds into the lagoon where our trip list boomed with shorebirds, herons, and ibis. After a memorable sunset filled with birds, we transferred the short distance to the hotel in Riohacha.

During our final morning in the field, we birded around the village of Camarones in the dry thorn scrub of the Guajira Peninsula. It proved to be a perfect morning to finish the tour. We left Riohacha before dawn, with a lengthy list of speciality targets that are mainly restricted to dry habitats of northern Colombia and adjacent Venezuela. We walked down a narrow path and soon lured out a pair of one of the more difficult species, the Tocuyo Sparrow; while White-whiskered Spinetails tried to distract us, and in the same location we successfully called in a Pale-tipped Tyrannulet. We drove further into the habitat and found a pair of showy Vermilion Cardinals, with the male sitting out in perfect light to sing, and Tawny-crowned Pygmy-Tyrant nearby was also new. We walked along the track through good habitat and soon a pair of Chestnut Piculets flew in, a Slender-billed Tyrannulet finally showed, Bare-eyed Pigeons were common, and Crested Bobwhites crossed the road Masked Trogon by Stephan Lorenz in front of us.

We relocated to another area, and after finding the right flowering tree soon spotted two Buffy Hummingbirds and Shining-green Hummingbird. Here, we also caught up with a responsive male Black- crested Antshrike, and just after eight in the morning, we found the final speciality of the area, a pair of approachable Orinocan Saltators. For the remainder of the morning, we birded the sandbars and open water of the lagoon and everyone ended with great views of Collared Plovers, lots of Scarlet Ibis among American White Ibis, and in the scope we saw hundreds of very distant American Flamingos. We left Camarones mid- morning, having cleaned up on all the hoped-for specialities, and made our way to the airport in Riohacha. For once, our internal flight was on time and we arrived back at the hotel in Bogota in the late afternoon. In the evening, we had a delicious farewell dinner, celebrated some overdue birthdays with drinks and cake, and reminisced about the grand adventure we had just had, seeing nearly 1,000 bird species in Grey-handed Night Monkey by Stephan Lorenz twenty-seven and a half days of birding.
