Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta. -

LEADER : DAVID ASCANIO LIST COMPILED BY : DAVID ASCANIO VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS , INC . 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE , SUITE 1003 AUSTIN , TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD .COM COSTA RICA: A RELAXED & EASY TOUR JUNE 17–25, 2017 By David Ascanio Photo album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidascanio/albums/72157684103453550 Bird images in this field list: From top to bottom: Red-headed Barbet (Eubucco bourcierii), Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), Russet-naped Wood-Rail (Aramides albiventris). Our tour to magical Costa Rica started in the beautifully arranged gardens of the Hotel Bougainvillea. In these gardens, we came across our first target species of the tour, the Lesson’s Motmot. It was foraging between native and exotic plants, small ponds, vines, bromeliads with brightly colored inflorescence, and flowering orchids. This brought the opportunity to give a brief explanation of old and modern taxonomy and the challenges raised with the development of molecular biology. A good example was indeed this motmot, a species formerly considered as part of the Blue-crowned Motmot and now separated into five species. From San José we drove south, to the Cerro de la Muerte . Once we reached the ridge, we took a short detour to the Paraiso Quetzal where hummingbird feeders provided views of the regional endemic Fiery- throated Hummingbird. There were also Lesser Violetears and Magnificent Hummingbirds. After lunch, the clouds were still dispersed, and there was no sign of rain. Thus, we decided to play with luck and drove to the highest point of the road, to the antenna dirt road. -

The Hummingbirds of Nariño, Colombia
The hummingbirds of Nariño, Colombia Paul G. W. Salaman and Luis A. Mazariegos H. El departamento de Nariño en el sur de Colombia expande seis Areas de Aves Endemicas y contiene una extraordinaria concentración de zonas de vida. En años recientes, el 10% de la avifauna mundial ha sido registrada en Nariño (similar al tamaño de Belgica) aunque ha recibido poca atención ornitólogica. Ninguna familia ejemplifica más la diversidad Narinense como los colibríes, con 100 especies registradas en siete sitios de fácil acceso en Nariño y zonas adyacentes del Putumayo. Cinco nuevas especies de colibríes para Colombia son presentadas (Campylopterus villaviscensio, Heliangelus strophianus, Oreotrochilus chimborazo, Patagona gigas, y Acestrura bombus), junto con notas de especies pobremente conocidas y varias extensiones de rango. Una estabilidad regional y buena infraestructura vial hacen de Nariño un “El Dorado” para observadores de aves y ornitólogos. Introduction Colombia’s southern Department of Nariño covers c.33,270 km2 (similar in size to Belgium or one quarter the size of New York state) from the Pacific coast to lowland Amazonia and spans the Nudo de los Pastos massif at 4,760 m5. Six Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs 39–44)9 and a diverse range of life zones, from arid tropical forest to the wettest forests in the world, are easily accessible. Several researchers, student expeditions and birders have visited Nariño and adjacent areas of Putumayo since 1991, making several notable ornithological discoveries including a new species—Chocó Vireo Vireo masteri6—and the rediscovery of several others, e.g. Plumbeous Forest-falcon Micrastur plumbeus, Banded Ground-cuckoo Neomorphus radiolosus and Tumaco Seedeater Sporophila insulata7. -

With arguably the most diverse avifauna of any single country on Earth, there are far too many special and important habitats to visit in anything less than several months’ time. As part of our continuing effort to do this magnificent country justice, our new Remote Colombia birding tour takes us into some seldom-explored areas in search of a whole host of rare, special and localised species.

E-mail: [email protected] Resumen. – Composición de la comunidad y la supervivencia anual de las aves de los bosques tropicales de tierras bajas en la Peninsula de Osa, Costa Rica. – La deforestación tropical ha dado lugar a muchos paisajes donde los bosques existen en forma de parches de diferente tamaño pero a la vez, estos están conectados dentro de un paisaje dominado por humanos. Entender las implicaciones de estos paisajes para la dinámica de la biodiversidad y la población es hoy en día un gran reto para la biología de la conservación tropical. Hemos examinado la composición de la comunidad y la superviven- cia anual de las aves en un paisaje parcialmente deforestadas en la Península de Osa de Costa Rica, que es una región de alta biodiversidad y de creciente preocupación para su conservación. Nuestro estudio se basó en un estudio de siete años de redes de niebla en un terreno de 3 ha y un año entero de conteo de puntos. Estos recuentos se llevaron a cabo en dos tipos de hábitat: un paisaje fragmentado, con una mezcla de parches de bosque y áreas de agricultura abierta, y un parche de 100 ha de bosque maduro.
