Birding the Madeira‐Tapajos Interfluvium 2017
Field Guides Tour Report GREAT RIVERS OF THE AMAZON II: BIRDING THE MADEIRA‐TAPAJOS INTERFLUVIUM 2017 Aug 1, 2017 to Aug 16, 2017 Bret Whitney, Tom Johnson, and Micah Riegner For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Incredible sunsets were met with full checklists, full (and then empty) caipirinhas, and full stomachs back on our riverboat home, the Tumbira. Photo by guide Tom Johnson. An extended voyage into remote areas full of amazing birds but infrequently visited by birders? Yes, please! This two-week tour of the Madeira-Tapajos interfluvium (south of the Amazon) was chock-full of birds and lots of adventure in a comfortable setting with fantastic company. We kicked off this grand adventure in Amazonia in the bustling metropolis of Manaus where we boarded a comfortable and fast speed launch, checking out the meeting of the blackwater Rio Negro and the whitewater Solimoes just downstream from Manaus before blasting off. We shot down the Amazona and then up the Rio Madeira to the riverside town of Borba, cruising past Amazon River Dolphins, Horned Screamers, and Short-tailed Parrots along the way. Borba was our home for three nights, and we used this frontier base as our hub of land-based exploration of the right bank of the Madeira. This was a location notable for the ornithological collections of Natterer, and an area that Bret has visited repeatedly due to its interesting avifauna. Contrasting with a fire-choked season during the tour in 2015, we were fortunate to bird several excellent forest tracts this without issue - well, our endless stream of replacement VW Combi vans notwithstanding! Fortunately, our team on the ground managed our vehicle problems and we were able to continue birding. -

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/abc. v25n1.77442 ABSTRACT Several scientific reasons support continuing bird collection in Colombia, a megadiverse country with modest science financing. Despite the recognized value of biological collections for the rigorous study of biodiversity, there is scarce information on the monetary costs of specimens. We present results for three expeditions conducted in Santander (municipalities of Cimitarra, El Carmen de Chucurí, and Santa Barbara), Colombia, during 2018 to collect bird voucher specimens, quantifying the costs of obtaining such material. After a sampling effort of 1290 mist net hours and occasional collection using an airgun, we collected 300 bird voucher specimens, representing 117 species from 30 families. -
A New Allopatric Taxon in the Hapalopsittaca Amazonina (Psittacidae) Superspecies from Colombia
THE WILSON BULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 101, No. 3 SEPTEMBER19 89 PAGES 369-524 Wilson Bull., 101(3), 1989, pp. 369-376 A NEW ALLOPATRIC TAXON IN THE HAPALOPSITTACA AMAZONINA (PSITTACIDAE) SUPERSPECIES FROM COLOMBIA GARY R. GRAVES ’ AND DANIEL URIBE RESTREPO~ .kwR.4cr.-Hapalopsittaca amazonina velezi,a new subspeciesof Rusty-faced Parrot, is described from the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes. H. a. velezi apparently occurssympatrically with H. jiiertesi, which is raised to specieslevel along with H. pyrrhops of southern Ecuador and northern Peru. ReceivedI5 March 1988, acceptedI5 July 1988. In the autumn of 19 11, Arthur A. Allen and Leo E. Miller collected birds and mammals for the American Museum of Natural History along the centuries-old Quindio trail. Among their many discoveries in the forests below the snow-capped volcanoes of Tolima and Santa Isabel was the Azure-winged Parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertesi), the only member of the genus in the Central Cordillera of Colombia (Chapman 19 12, 19 17). Although H. fuertesi has not been collected since September 19 11, recent sight records of Hapalopsittaca between Manizales and Salento (Fig. l), below the Parque National Los Nevados, have been attributed to H. fuertesi (see Ridgely 1980a). Unbeknownst to Ring (198 1) and other or- nithologists, four specimens of Hapalopsittaca collected in 1969 and 1976 near Manizales were deposited in the Museo de Historia Natural, Uni- versity of Caldas. We were greatly suprised to find that these did not represent H. fuertesi, but instead, a new subspecies of H. -

Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya. -

ABSTRACT.— A group of several Andean Parakeet (Bolborhynchus orbygnesius) individuals was observed, photographed and tape-recorded at Finca El Candado, near Los Cardones National Park, Salta Province, northwestern Argentina. There is no previously published record of Andean Parakeet from south of Cochabamba, Bolivia, although there is a tape-recording from Tarija, Bo- livia, which is about 350 km north-northwest of Finca El Candado. Additionally, there is an un- documented record of a group of birds 218 km north-northwest of Finca El Candado, between Valle Colorado and Santa Ana, in Jujuy Province, Argentina. Birds were coming to roost in a large stick nest that did not look like any described nest. -

Resumen. – Primeros registros de nidos de Choroy (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) en el sur de Chile. – Documentamos los primeros antecedentes sobre la nidificación del loro Choroy (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) obtenidos a partir de dos nidos naturales ubicados en el bosque templado del sur de Chile. Los nidos se encontraron en cavidades naturales a 19 m de altura en árboles emergentes del dosel. La postura alcanzó hasta 10 huevos y eclosionaron 4 y 5 pichones, respectivamente. El período de incubación duró aproximadamente 30 días, y los polluelos permanecieron en el nido alrededor de otros 40 días. Los pichones tuvieron una pérdida de peso previo a abandonar el nido y siguieron cre- ciendo una vez fuera. Los pichones desarrollaron dos plumones distintos antes de la aparición de las plumas, un patrón previamente descrito para un loro endémico de la alta cordillera de Colombia. Esto podría ser una estrategia de los psitácidos habitantes de zonas frías para combatir las bajas temperatu- ras mientras permanecen en el nido. Nuestro trabajo confirma la necesidad de seguir estudiando la biología reproductiva de los psitácidos que habitan las zonas templadas, en particular de Sudamérica.
