  • Paraguayan Mega! (Paul Smith)
    “South America’s Ivorybill”, the Helmeted Woodpecker is a Paraguayan mega! (Paul Smith) PARAGUAY 15 SEPTEMBER – 2 OCTOBER 2017 LEADER: PAUL SMITH With just short of 400 birds and 17 mammals Paraguay once again proved why it is South America’s fastest growing birding destination. The "Forgotten Heart of South America", may still be an “off the beaten track” destination that appeals mainly to adventurous birders, but thanks to some easy walking, stunning natural paradises and friendly, welcoming population, it is increasingly becoming a “must visit” country. And there is no wonder, with a consistent record for getting some of South America’s super megas such as Helmeted Woodpecker, White-winged Nightjar, Russet-winged Spadebill and Saffron-cowled Blackbird, it has much to offer the bird-orientated visitor. Paraguay squeezes four threatened ecosystems into its relatively manageable national territory and this, Birdquest’s fourth trip, visits all of them. As usual the trip gets off to flyer in the humid and dry Chaco; meanders through the rarely-visited Cerrado savannas; indulges in a new bird frenzy in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest; and signs off with a bang in the Mesopotamian flooded grasslands of southern Paraguay. This year’s tour was a little earlier than usual, and we suffered some torrential rainstorms, but with frequent knee-trembling encounters with megas along the way it was one to remember. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Paraguay www.birdquest-tours.com Crakes would be something of a theme on this trip, and we started off with a belter in the pouring rain, the much sought after Grey-breasted Crake.

Resumen. – Avifauna chaqueña del norte de Paraguay. – Inventarios llevaros a acabo en cinco sitios en el chaco del norte de Paraguay indicaron la presencia de 233 especies de aves, incluyendo a Mosqueta Boreal (Empidonax alnorum), la cual se registra por primera vez en el país. Se documentaron por primera vez tres especies por medio de especimenes [Chiripepé de Cabeza Gris (yrrhura molinae), Pijuí Ocráceo (Poe- cilurus scutatus) y Batará Boliviano (Thamnophilus sticturus)] y una por grabaciones de cantos [Piojito Trinador ³Serpophaga griseiceps)]. Se registraron dos especies nuevas para el chaco de Paraguay, y 22 especies nuevas para las zonas del Alto Chaco o Matogrosense (sensu Hayes 1995). Comparaciones preliminares entre sitios, junto con información adicional publicada, apoyan a la idea de que el recambio de especies de sitio a sitio es considerable en el bioma del chaco. La recien declarada Reserva de Biosfera del Chaco, si se imple- menta y se protege efectivamente, representa un paso importante hacía la conservación de la avifauna del norte del chaco. Abstract. – Surveys at five sites in the chaco biome in northern Paraguay revealed the presence of 233 bird species including one species, Alder Flycatcher (Empidonax alnorum) new for the country.

Accepted on 29 March 2018. ABSTRACT: Between 1970 and 1980, many ornithological prospections were made in central Argentina. With this work we intend to fill some of the existing gaps regarding such knowledge. We conducted bird surveys in the central-western region of Córdoba province. We identified 240 bird species (63% of province's avifauna) belonging to 48 families: 10 of which are considered under some threat category, 37 are migrants, and two are endemic to the region. Throughout a qualitative analysis of ordination, we identified three clusters of environments that share similar bird composition. Among those, the most dissimilar group was composed of aquatic environments, whereas the two other groups included wooded and anthropized environments and high altitude environments, respectively.

  • Paraguay Neotropical Bird Club Fundraiser
    The magical White-winged Nightjar, our inevitable bird-of-the-trip! (Pete Morris) PARAGUAY NEOTROPICAL BIRD CLUB FUNDRAISER 20 SEPTEMBER – 6 OCTOBER 2015 LEADERS: ROB CLAY, PETE MORRIS (report author) & PAUL SMITH 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Paraguay Neotropical Bird Club Fundraiser 2015 www.birdquest-tours.com The wonderful Sickle-winged Nightjar wasn’t far behind! (Pete Morris) Whilst we all love getting out to see the world’s amazing avifauna, one cannot help but be tinged with a little sadness as we watch so many habitats and associated species disappearing in front of our eyes. Let’s be hon- est, we all wish we could do more, feel we should do more, but it’s not all that easy. So when Raymond and the Neotropical Bird Club (NBC) approached me with the idea of hosting a tour with the aim of having a great time birding, whilst raising funds for charity, I jumped at the chance! This was the first time that Birdquest had ever been involved in a specific charity fund raising tour, and all of us wanted to be sure it would be a great success. It was years in the planning, but with the combined powers of the NBC, Fauna Paraguay and Birdquest, we came up with a plan that worked, and with the generous participation of a hardy bunch of enthusiastic birders, I think we can all be proud of what we achieved. We went to Paraguay, saw nearly all of the special birds we were after, had quite a few laughs along the way and, between us, raised a very substantial sum of money for conservation! Can’t be a bad way to spend a few weeks, and special thanks should go to our excellent in-coun- try hosts, Paul, Rob and our three great drivers.

  • The Owls of Paraguay
    Chapter 18 The Owls of Paraguay Alejandro Bodrati, Paul Smith, Hugo del Castillo, and Ana Trejo Abstract Paraguay is located at the center of South America at the confluence of several biomes: Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Mesopotamian Grasslands, Chaco, and Pantanal. Some 719 bird species are documented for the country, of which 16 are owls. No owls are endemic to Paraguay, but one species is endemic to the Chaco biome and three species and one subspecies are endemic to the Atlantic Forest. In Paraguay, ornithological research has experienced productive periods and other long periods without advances; currently there are no studies underway that focus on the ecology or conservation of owls, although some studies on diet and behavior have been published. Only one species, Rusty-barred Owl (Strix hylophila), is con- sidered at risk internationally, but seven species are considered at risk at the national level. The principal threats to the owls of Paraguay are habitat destruction, lack of protected areas or poor implementation of existing areas, popular beliefs that noc- turnal birds bring bad luck, forest management incompatible with owl conservation, and lack of information about the basic biology of these birds.

  • FAUNA Paraguay Checklist of the Birds of Paraguay Part 1
    Paraguay Mammal- and Birdwatching Trip – October 2009 Report by Sjef Öllers Introduction After amazing encounters with the big cats in Asia and Africa, I was looking into destinations that would give me a chance of seeing puma or jaguar and preferably both. The Brazilian Pantanal is currently one of the best places to see jaguars, but puma sightings in the Pantanal seem to be rare. Some additional searching on the Internet finally led me to the website of Fauna Paraguay (http://www.faunaparaguay.com). On their website I found several trip reports that proved that jaguar and puma sightings during a single trip are not impossible, although seeing either one of them is by no means easy or guarantueed. However, with good chances of seeing several armadillo species, three peccary species including Chaco peccary, Chaco mara, plains viscacha and more cat species, my mind was soon made up. In addition to the spectacular mammal watching, birdwatching is excellent and varied too with over 700 species, of which a good lot are relatively easy to see. Practicalities The major part of the trip was discussed and arranged with Paul Smith of Fauna Paraguay. Due to unforeseen job-related issues, my partner could not join me this time, so the trip was set up as a single-person private tour. My guide for the trip was Hugo del Cordero Castillo. He has been travelling in the Chaco and other remote parts of Paraguay for many years and knows the country very well. His knowledge of the country’s mammals and birds (including calls) is excellent.
