ENDEMICS of the RAINFOREST Length: Full Day ENDEMICS OF THE RAINFOREST Length: Full day Our birding day will be focus on the elusive, tame and cryptic birds that inhabits this unique ecosystem known as the Valdivian Rainforest or Southern Temperate Rainforest. The forest itself is a gem. The exuberant and dense vegetation is home of specialties that any birder wants to find once visiting the region. We will be walking through the trails looking for the four species of the Rhinocryptidae family as the Chucao, Black-throated Huet Huet, Ochre-flanked and Magellanic Tapaculo. The park is also the place to look for other specialties as the Magellanic Woodpecker, White-throated Treerunner, and Thorn-tailed Rayadito. With some luck we can also have the chance to spot the Chilean Hawk and Buteo raptors that inhabits these latitudes. On the way back from the park we will also have some time to scan the shore of the Reloncaví fjord looking for waterfowl and shorebirds. TARGET: 30 SPECIES Some of the species that we can found in this tour: Andean Condor, Magellanic Woodpecker, Striped Woodpecker, Thorn-tailed Rayadito, White-throated Treerunner, Ochre-flanked Tapaculo, Magellanic Tapaculo, Des Mur ́s Wiretail, Chucao Tapaculo, Austral Pigmy Owl, Tufted Tit-Tyrant, Patagonian Sierra-Finch, Black-throated Huet-huet, Rufous-collared Sparrow, Grassland Yellow- Finch, Black-chinned Siskin.

    WILD PATAGONIA & CENTRAL CHILE: PUMAS, PENGUINS, CONDORS & MORE! NOVEMBER 1–18, 2019 Pumas simply rock! This year we enjoyed 9 different cats! Observing the antics of lovely Amber here and her impressive family of four cubs was certainly the highlight in Torres del Paine National Park — Photo: Andrew Whittaker LEADERS: ANDREW WHITTAKER & FERNANDO DIAZ LIST COMPILED BY: ANDREW WHITTAKER VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM Sensational, phenomenal, outstanding Chile—no superlatives can ever adequately describe the amazing wildlife spectacles we enjoyed on this year’s tour to this breathtaking and friendly country! Stupendous world-class scenery abounded with a non-stop array of exciting and easy birding, fantastic endemics, and super mega Patagonian specialties. Also, as I promised from day one, everyone fell in love with Chile’s incredible array of large and colorful tapaculos; we enjoyed stellar views of all of the country’s 8 known species. Always enigmatic and confiding, the cute Chucao Tapaculo is in the Top 5 — Photo: Andrew Whittaker However, the icing on the cake of our tour was not birds but our simply amazing Puma encounters. Yet again we had another series of truly fabulous moments, even beating our previous record of 8 Pumas on the last day when I encountered a further 2 young Pumas on our way out of the park, making it an incredible 9 different Pumas! Our Puma sightings take some beating, as they have stood for the last three years at 6, 7, and 8. For sure none of us will ever forget the magical 45 minutes spent observing Amber meeting up with her four 1- year-old cubs as they joyfully greeted her return.

Johansson,a,b and Per G.P. Ericsona a Department of Vertebrate Zoology and Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden b Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden c Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Received 29 August 2001; received in revised form 17 January 2002 Abstract Based on their highly specialized ‘‘tracheophone’’ syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conop- ophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have been contested and their interrelationships are poorly understood, and this constrains the pos- sibilities for interpreting adaptive tendencies in this very diverse group. In this study we present a higher-level phylogeny and classification for the tracheophone birds based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data obtained from 32 ingroup taxa. Both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and nuclear genes (c-myc, RAG-1, and myoglobin) have been sequenced, and more than 3000 bp were subjected to parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The phylogenetic signals in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes were compared and found to be very similar. The results from the analysis of the combined dataset (all genes, but with transitions at third codon positions in the cytochrome b excluded) partly corroborate previous phylogenetic hypotheses, but several novel arrangements were also suggested.

  • A New Tapaculo Related to Scytalopus Rodriguezi from Serranía De Los Yariguíes, Colombia
    Thomas M. Donegan et al. 256 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) A new tapaculo related to Scytalopus rodriguezi from Serranía de los Yariguíes, Colombia by Thomas M. Donegan, Jorge E. Avendaño & Frank Lambert Received 15 February 2013 Summary.―Upper Magdalena Tapaculo Scytalopus rodriguezi was described (in 2005) as restricted to the headwaters of the Magdalena Valley in dpto. Huila, Colombia. Here we describe a new but related taxon from the Serranía de los Yariguíes, dpto. Santander, Colombia, c.580 km to the north, which difers in its darker dorsal coloration, shorter tail, smaller body, lower mass and lower pitched song with reduced frequency bandwidth in its notes. Scytalopus tapaculos are small, primarily montane suboscines that inhabit the understorey of Neotropical forests. Species limits within the genus are problematic because of the morphological homogeneity of diferent populations, which masks a rich diversity, only detected in recent decades via vocal and genetic studies. Since vocalisations are believed to be innate and distinctive among genetically divergent Scytalopus species, and vocal diferentiation tracks molecular diferentiation more so than morphology (Arctander & Fjeldså 1994), the number of recognised species of Scytalopus has increased dramatically from ten in the mid 1990s to more than 40 today (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997; see also, e.g., Krabbe & Schulenberg 2003, Krabbe & Cadena 2010, Hosner et al. 2013). Four new Scytalopus taxa have been described from Colombia since the late 1990s: Chocó Tapaculo S. chocoensis (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997), Upper Magdalena Tapaculo S. rodriguezi (Krabbe et al. 2005), Stiles’ Tapaculo S. stilesi (Cuervo et al. 2005) and a subspecies of Pale-bellied Tapaculo S.

    24 Ornitología Colombiana No.6 (2008):24-65 NOTES ON TAPACULOS (PASSERIFORMES: RHINOCRYPTIDAE) OF THE EASTERN ANDES OF COLOMBIA AND THE VENEZUELAN ANDES, WITH A NEW SUBSPECIES OF SCYTALOPUS GRISEICOLLIS FROM COLOMBIA Notas sobre tapaculos (Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae) de la Cordillera Oriental de Colombia y los Andes venezolanos, con una nueva subespecie de Scytalopus griseicollis de Colombia Thomas M. Donegan ProAves Foundation, Caversham, Reading, UK. [email protected], [email protected] Jorge Enrique Avendaño-C. 1 Escuela de Biología, Universidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga, Colombia [email protected] ABSTRACT We analysed biometrics, plumage and voice and inspected specimens to study the taxonomy of various high elevation tapaculos Scytalopus of the Eastern Andes of Colombia and the Mérida Andes of Venezuela. In light of a lack of any diagnostic vocal, plumage or biometric character, we propose treating S. infasciatus as a subjective junior synonym of S. griseicollis . S. fuscicauda and S. meridanus are indistinguishable by morphology, but we propose treating S. fuscicauda as a subspecies of S. meridanus in light of small observed differences in introductions to songs, which require further investigation. As the names were published contemporaneously, we propose priority for S. meridanus over S. fuscicauda . S. meridanus and S. griseicollis as redefined are each diagnosable vocally, supporting species rank for both of them. S. griseicollis gilesi subsp. nov. is described from the Yariguíes mountains. The new subspecies differs from S. griseicollis in its darker plumage, lower acoustic frequency scolds and longer tail. The recently discovered Eastern Andes population of S. spillmanni differs from Ecuadorian populations in its shorter tarsus length and slower song, meeting the requirements for some, but not all, subspecies concepts.

  • On the Origin and Evolution of Nest Building by Passerine Birds’

COLLIAS Departmentof Biology, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90024-1606 Abstract. The object of this review is to relate nest-buildingbehavior to the origin and early evolution of passerinebirds (Order Passeriformes).I present evidence for the hypoth- esis that the combinationof small body size and the ability to place a constructednest where the bird chooses,helped make possiblea vast amountof adaptiveradiation. A great diversity of potential habitats especially accessibleto small birds was created in the late Tertiary by global climatic changes and by the continuing great evolutionary expansion of flowering plants and insects.Cavity or hole nests(in ground or tree), open-cupnests (outside of holes), and domed nests (with a constructedroof) were all present very early in evolution of the Passeriformes,as indicated by the presenceof all three of these basic nest types among the most primitive families of living passerinebirds. Secondary specializationsof these basic nest types are illustratedin the largest and most successfulfamilies of suboscinebirds. Nest site and nest form and structureoften help characterizethe genus, as is exemplified in the suboscinesby the ovenbirds(Furnariidae), a large family that builds among the most diverse nests of any family of birds. The domed nest is much more common among passerinesthan in non-passerines,and it is especially frequent among the very smallestpasserine birds the world over.

  • Notes on Birds at Swarms of Army Ants in the Highlands of Colombia
    December 1974 Vol. 86. No. 4 GENERAL NOTES 479 around the sloughs, but only young leopard frogs were observed on the floodplain away from standing water. Blackbirds readily took and swallowed whole young leopard frogs that plowing opera- tions disturbed in the field. The birds also pursued any adult mice that were flushed by the tractor, but both species always managed to out-distance the blackbirds, and no captures were observed. On the other hand, the blackbirds readily caught and ate nestling and juvenile voles that were present along the ridge portion of the field. As the disk would expose the voles, the blackbirds would hastily hop about, striking at the fleeing animals with their beaks. Very young voles, estimated to be from lo-14 days old and weighing up to 12 g, were easily captured and swallowed whole. Larger subadults were incapacitated by incessant pecking and then eviscerated. As adult voles were exposed, they would run distances of 3 to 5 m and then flatten themselves out on the loose soil or burrow underground. At times as many as three to four blackbirds would pursue these adults, but no captures were observed. Several times fleeing adult females had suckling young plucked from their mammae. Following the blackbird flock and occasionally mixing with it were two to three Common Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos). These were feeding mainly on the insects and annelids, as well as on the remains of the young voles that had been killed but not entirely eaten by the blackbirds. Several times the crows were observed to displace blackbirds from a freshly killed subadult vole.

  • The Correct Use of the Name Scytalopus Speluncae (Ménétriés, 1835), and the Description of a New Species of Brazilian Tapaculo (Aves: Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae)

RAPOSO1, RENATA STOPIGLIA1, VLADIMIR LOSKOT2 & GUY M. KIRWAN3 1Museu Nacional, Departamento de Vertebrados, Setor de Ornitologia, Quinta da Boa Vista, 20940-040, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Ornithology, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Science,. St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia 374 Waddington Street, Norwich NR2 4JS, UK. Abstract Scytalopus speluncae was described from a specimen taken at São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Ménétriés described it as having the throat and the central breast evidently whitish, but since then this name has been rather surprisingly attributed to the uniformly slate gray Mouse-colored Tapaculo of the eastern coastal Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Contrary to previous findings, our analysis of the holotype, two new specimens from the type locality (topotypes) and original description of Scytalopus speluncae indicates that this name must be applied to the pale gray form with rufous- barred thighs that is found in Minas Gerais. This species is apparently very common in São João del Rei. This paper redescribes Scytalopus speluncae, correcting this name application, and describing, as a new species, populations from the Serra do Mar and vicinity, previously misidentified as S. speluncae. Key words: Scytalopus speluncae, new species, Brazil, taxonomy Resumo Scytalopus speluncae foi descrita com base em um espécime proveniente de São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Brasil.
