Highlights were many and included everything from the flashy Fiery Topazes and Guianan Cock-of- the-Rocks of the Mitu lowlands to the spectacular Rainbow-bearded Thornbills and Buffy Helmetcrests of the windswept highlands. In between, we visited just about every type of habitat that it is possible to bird in Colombia and shared many special moments: the diminutive Lanceolated Monklet that perched above us as we sheltered from the rain at the Piha Reserve, the showy Ochre-breasted Antpitta we stumbled across at an antswarm at Las Tangaras Reserve, the Ocellated Tapaculo (voted bird of the trip) that paraded in front of us at Rio Blanco, and the male Vermilion Cardinal, in all his crimson glory, that we enjoyed in the Guajira desert on the final morning of the trip.

Our first stop was the lovely Cali Country Club where birds were everywhere. Whilst enjoying breakfast we could see big groups of Bare-faced Ibis, Cocoi Herons, Neotropic Cormorants and other more common waterbirds. Then we had a nice stroll and kept on finding more attractive species with our first encounter with the endemic Greyish Piculet, flocks of Blue-crowned Parrots, Southern Lapwing and both Spot-breasted and Red-crowned Woodpeckers. Later we transferred to our lodge for the night. The gardens were great for birding and, after lunch, we saw lots of hummingbirds including Green Hermit, White-necked Jacobin, Crowned Woodnymph and Andean Emerald. We also saw other charismatic species such as Acorn Woodpecker, the endemic Colombian Chachalaca, and the gaudy Inca Jay.

  • Colombia: from the Choco to Amazonia
    This gorgeous Cinnamon Screech Owl narrowly missed being our bird-of-the-trip! (Pete Morris) COLOMBIA: FROM THE CHOCO TO AMAZONIA 9/12/15 JANUARY – 5/11 FEBRUARY 2016 LEADER: PETE MORRIS Well, this was the first time that we had run our revised Colombia With a Difference tour – now aptly-named Colombia: From the Choco to Amazonia. Complete with all the trimmings, which included pre-tour visits to San Andres and Providencia, the Sooty-capped Puffbird Extension, and the post tour Mitu Extension, we managed to amass in excess of 850 species. Travelling to the Caribbean, the Pacific Coast, the High Andes and the Amazon all in one trip really was quite an experience, and the variety and diversity of species recorded, at times, almost overwhelming! Picking out just a few highlights from such a long list is difficult, but here’s just an 1 BirdQuest Tour Report:Colombia: From the Choco to Amazonia www.birdquest-tours.com The exquisite Golden-bellied Starfrontlet, one of a number of stunning hummers and our bird-of-the-trip! (Pete Morris) appetizer! The islands of San Andres and Providencia both easily gave up their endemic vireos – two Birdquest Lifers! The Sooty-capped Puffbirds were all we hoped for and a male Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird a bonus! A sneaky trip to Sumapaz National Park yielded several Green-bearded Helmetcrests and Bronze-tailed Thorn- bill. On the main tour we saw a huge number of goodies. Blue-throated, Dusky and Golden-bellied Starfrontlets (all stunners!); the rare Humboldt’s Sapphire was a Birdquest lifer; nightbirds included Black-and-white Owl and White-throated, Cinnamon and Choco Screech Owls; and a random selection of other favourites included Gorgeted Wood Quail, the much appreciated Brown Wood Rail, Beautiful Woodpecker, Chestnut-bellied Hum- mingbird, Black Inca, the brilliant Rusty-faced Parrot, Citron-throated Toucan, Recurve-billed Bushbird, Urrao Antpitta, Niceforo’s and Antioquia Wrens, the amazing Baudo Oropendola, Crested and Sooty Ant Tanagers and the rare Mountain Grackle.

This is our latest (November 2020) addition to the several trips we offer to this amazing country, the planet’s richest country for birds, with almost 2,000 species recorded. If you have enjoyed our classic The Very Best of Colombia: Santa Marta, Andes and Chocó birding tour and/or our Bogotá and Medellín endemics tour, then this third tour is a great choice for another fantastic birding adventure with Birding Ecotours. This trip provides the opportunity to travel across Colombia along a completely different route compared to our classic itinerary above. We’ll start the trip in the city of Cali, and after visiting a new private reserve, where we should get excellent views of two Colombian endemics, Chestnut Wood Quail and Multicolored Tanager as they regularly visit bird feeders here, we’ll then travel south to Nariño and Putumayo states to enjoy further unique birding experiences. We will look for a family of Chestnut Wood Quails in Reserva La Florida (photo Gilberto Collazos). One of the highlights of the tour will be visiting the Páramo de Bordoncillo on a quest to find the poorly known and localized Chestnut-bellied Cotinga.

    Colombia Trip Report 1000 Birds Mega Tour 22nd November to 20th December 2013 (28 days) White-capped Tanagers by Adam Riley Tour Leader(s): Forrest Rowland and Trevor Ellory Top 10 Tour Highlights (as voted by participants): 1. Santa Marta Screech-Owl 2. Guianan Cock-of-the-rock 3. Chestnut-crested Antbird 4. Azure-naped Jay 5. White-tipped Quetzal Trip Report - RBT Colombia Mega 2013 2 6. White-capped Tanager 7. Black-and-white Owl 8. Black Solitaire 9. Crested Ant Tanager 10. Bare-crowned Antbird Tour Intro Colombia has become iconic among Neotropical bird enthusiasts…that is to say, anybody who has ever seen a Cock-of-the-rock, Manakin lek, or hummingbird feeding station in the Andes! It is impossible to avoid falling in love with this diverse, impressive, stunning part of the world – and Colombia has the best of it. Guianan shield, Amazon Basin, three Andean ranges, tropical valleys, coastlines, and the famed Santa Marta Mountains are only what is NOW recognized as accessible. As time passes, access increases, and Colombia (rather than becoming more mundane) just becomes more mysterious as new species reveal themselves and new habitats become known, and we look to ever more remote parts of this complex nation. The mystery and wonder of Colombia, perhaps more than any other country, begged a challenge: is it possible for a commercial tour to record more than 1000 species of birds in less than a month? If so, Colombia was obviously the place to do it! The following is a much abbreviated account of one of the most spectacular journeys this author has ever embarked upon, and cannot possibly do justice to the marvelous sights, sounds, smells, and tastes one encounters after spending a whole month in Birder’s Paradise – Colombia! Tour Summary We all congregated in Colombia’s cosmopolitan capitol city Santa Fe de Bogota, on November 22nd, 2013.

  • The Very Best of Colombia Trip Report 2018
    THE VERY BEST OF COLOMBIA TRIP REPORT 23 JANUARY - 15 FEBRUARY 2018 By Eduardo Ormaeche Gold-ringed Tanager (photo Gleison Guarin) www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T The Very Best of Colombia 2018 Our first 24-day Colombia tour 2018 was a fabulous experience, which allowed us to see probably the best birding route of the country and most of the highlights that this amazing country has to offer to birdwatchers and real adventurous travelers. No other country holds more species than Colombia, and we had the chance to see some of the most spectacular birds in this part of the world and finished the tour with most of the Neotropical families well represented on our list. This first Colombia tour of the year was rather easy for a group of very enthusiastic birders who contemplated the birds, became familiar with them, and admired their natural behavior in a more relaxed pace than usual. We did not get as large a list total as on some previous trips, but we had fun from beginning to end and learned a lot about the distribution of species in one of the countries with the most complex geography in the Americas. Our trip started in Cali, where the group arrived on different flights, and the participants were transferred to our comfortable hotel in town. The following morning we left Cali and drove to the famous Km 18 on the Cali-Buenaventura Road. Here we visited the by now famous Finca Alejandria, where we had an amazing start with species such as the endemic Colombian Chachalaca, Golden-headed Quetzal, Crimson-rumped Toucanet, and Squirrel Cuckoo around the gardens.

    Colombia Remote 30th Nov - 18th Dec 2016 (19 days) Trip Report Emerald Tanager by Adam Riley Trip Report compiled by tour leader, Forrest Rowland Tour Participants: Stephen Bailey, Richard Greenhalgh, Leslie Kehoe, Glenn Sibbald, Jacob and Susan Van Sittert, Albert Williams Trip Report – RBL Colombia - Remote 2016 2 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Our newest tour to Colombia, the Remote birding tour, took us into many seldom-explored areas in search of an array of rare, special and localised species. Targets were many. Misses were few. Our exploits, to mention but a few, included such gems as Baudo Guan, Fuertes’s and Rose-faced Parrots, Flame-winged Parakeet, Dusky Starfrontlet, Baudo Oropendola, Urrao Antpitta, the recently described Perija Tapaculo, fascinating Recurve-billed Bushbird, jaw-dropping Multicolored Tanager, Yellow- green Bush Tanager (Chlorospingus), Colombian Chachalaca, Lined Quail-Dove, Esmeraldas and Magdalena Antbirds, Perija Metaltail, Perija Thistletail and Perija Brush Finch. An important aspect of this tour, which reached beyond just the wonderful multitude of species seen, was the adventure. Due to the nature of the sites visited, and their locations, we were truly immersed in a myriad of cultures, landscapes, and habitats indigenous to the Colombian countryside. Dusky Starfrontlet by Dubi Shapiro The tour convened in Bogota, the bustling capital city of Colombia. After meeting up for dinner and getting to know one another a bit, we went over the game plan. Our first order of business would be to descend the eastern cordillera of the Andes, in search of one of the most range-restricted, and difficult-to-see species – Cundinamarca Antpitta.

    COLOMBIA: CAUCA VALLEY, CHOCO BIOREGION AND EASTERN, CENTRAL AND WESTERN ANDES February 28 - March 15, 2013 Day One (January 28, 2013): Paramo de Sumapaz and Chicaque We rose very early in time to be at the Paramo de Sumapaz by daybreak, at around 3,000 meters.in eleva- tion. As we arrived we were greeted by the endemic Silver-throated Spinetail, the beautiful Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager, the very active Golden-fronted Whitestart and the very sought-after Bearded Helmet- crest. Also around were Rufous-browed Conebill and the handsome Brown-backed Chat-tyrant. It was a great way to start the trip, as soon enough we were birding at several high altitude lagoons enjoying spe- cies such as Andean Teal, Merlin, Ruddy Duck and Solitary Sandpiper. To our surprise, our first try for the endemics Bogota Rail and Apolinar’s Wren along the edge of one of the lagoons was successful! We saw both species within a minute of being there! And as we were loading up the van Mike spotted a Black- chested Buzzard-Eagle, another new species for the Wile duo. As we continued along the road we enjoyed the spectacular scenery in search of Tawny Antpitta, which we found running along the ground near a peasants pasture. Content with our Paramo birding, we headed down the hill towards the Chicaque Natural Reserve, stop- ping for lunch along the road. Before arriving at the reserve we stopped at a small pond for very nice views of the localized Spot-flanked Gallinule. At Chicaque we encountered our first owl of the trip, Andean Pyg- my-owl called in by our local guide Miguel Ruiz.
