Ultimate Southeast Brazil Spot-winged Wood Quail, one of the many Atlantic Forest specials on the tour (Eduardo Patrial) ULTIMATE SOUTHEAST BRAZIL 5 - 19 November / 1 December 2018 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL The world-famous Ultimate Southeast Brazil tour, which shows the best from the Atlantic Forest, is back in 2018 packed with a list of 580 species of birds recorded. From that, ninety four (94) genuine Brazilian endemics were seen on the tour, besides over a hundred and twenty Atlantic Forest endemic birds. It is true to say the el niño affected weather conditions this time, turning into a much wetter trip if compared to the last ones, especially when at Espirito Santo state. But even so the Atlantic Forest kept its high level and results were again fantastic. It’s easy to remember some of the great birds seen from the beginning to the end of this remarkable trip, to mention some nice Cracidae as Red-billed Curassow, Black-fronted Piping Guan and East Brazilian and Scaled Chachalacas; a great time with the night birding – Tawny-browed, Mottled and Rusty- barred Owls, Tropical, Long-tufted and Black-capped Screech Owls, the rare White-winged Potoo, Long- trained and Sickle-winged Nightjars; a fine selection of hummingbirds with Saw-billed, Scale-throated, Dusky- throated and Minute Hermits, the amazing Frilled and Festive Coquettes, Green-crowned and Purple-crowned 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Southeast Brazil 2018. www.birdquest-tours.com Plovercrests; some of the nicest toucans and woodpeckers – Green-billed Toucan, Saffron and Spot-billed Toucanets, Yellow-fronted, Blond-crested, Robust and Yellow-browed Woodpeckers; the unique Three-toed Jacamar, two Puffbirds – Buff-bellied and Crescent-chested Puffbirds; an amazing number of endemic parrots – Red-browed, Red-tailed, Red-spectacled and Vinaceous-breasted Amazons, Blue-bellied Parrot, Ochre- marked and White-eared Parakeets; the fantastic number of Furnariidae – White-collared, Black-capped, Buff- fronted and White-browed Foliage-gleaners, Pale-browed Treehunter, Straight-billed and Curve-billed Reedhaunters, and also some endemic Woodcreepers such as Scale, Scalloped and White-throated Woodcreepers; the impressive number of endemic Antbirds – Giant, Large-tailed, Tufted, Spot-backed and White-bearded Antshrikes, Rufous-tailed, Scaled, Bertoni’s, Ochre-rumped, Ferruginous, Dusky-tailed, White- bibbed and Squamate Antbirds, Plumbeous and Spot-breasted Antvireos, Salvadori’s, Star-throated and Unicolored Antwrens; amazingly four Antthrushes – Rufous-capped, Short-tailed, Rufous-tailed and Cryptic Antthrushes; Atlantic Forest endemic Speckle-breasted Antpitta; two lovely gnateaters, Rufous and Black- cheeked Gnateaters; Tapaculos – Slaty Bristlefront, White-breasted, Mouse-colored and Planalto Tapaculo and the very shy Spotted Bamboowren; the rare Black-capped Piprites; a high number of endemic tyrant/flycatchers, including Serra do Mar, Sao Paulo, Oustalet’s, Restinga and Grey-capped Tyrannulets, Eye- ringed, Fork-tailed and Kaempfer’s Tody-Tyrants, Grey-hooded Attila, Velvety Black Tyrant, the rare Russet- winged Spadebill, Crested Doradito and Sharp-tailed Grass Tyrant; the numerous special Cotingas including Black-headed and Hooded Berryeaters, the fascinating Swallow-tailed Cotinga, Bare-throated Bellbird and endemic Cinnamon-vented Piha; the uncommon endemic Buff-throated Purpletuft; some beautiful Manakins including Red-headed, White-crowned, White-bearded, Blue and Pin-tailed Manakins and the Tanagers of course, to mention the mega-rare Cherry-throated Tanager plus several other endemics – Brazilian, Olive- green, Golden-chevroned, Azure-shouldered, Diademed, Gilt-edged, Brassy-breasted, and Black-backed Tanagers. The 2018 Ultimate Southeast tour started from Vitória, capital of Espirito Santo state, the northernmost coastal state in the SE Brazil region. It was a rainy day and after clients arrival by noon we headed straight to the good hummingbird stop at Augusto Ruschi Biological Reserve on the coast of Aracruz, just north of Vitória. The feeders were busy as usual and there we enjoyed great views of the endemic localized endemic Minute Hermit plus several others – Swallow-tailed Hummingbird, Blue-chinned Sapphire, Glittering-throated and Versicolored Emeralds, Black-throated Mango, loads of Red-legged Honeycreeper and the beautiful Turquoise (White-bellied), Burnished-buff Tanagers, Buff-throated Saltator and a Grey-necked Wood Rail. From there we drove north a couple hours to reach the fantastic VALE Reserve in Linhares after dusk. November 6th. The day began early at VALE Reserve with a nice walk in the garden and forest edge still before breakfast. A very productive time with plenty Chopi Blackbirds, endemic Plain Parakeet, some Green-headed and Turquoise (White-bellied) Tanagers, the stunning Yellow-fronted Woodpecker, endemic Campo Troupial, White-chinned Sapphire, the uncommon Robust Woodpecker (a pair) and Blue-winged Macaw, White-barred Piculet, White-winged and Green-backed Becards, Yellow-green Grosbeak, Orange-winged Amazon, Flame- crested and Yellow-backed Tanagers, Streaked Xenops, Red-stained and Yellow-throated Woodpeckers and the endemic White-eared Parakeet. Later in the morning the forest edge still provided the localized Red-billed Curassow (female) and Blond-crested Woodpecker. Deeper in the forest it was time to see well the rare Ringed Woodpecker (Atlantic Forest ssp. tinnunculus), the rare endemic Black-headed Berryeater, Red-headed Manakin, Greyish Mourner, Grey-crowned Flatbill, White-eyed Foliage-gleaner, Plain-winged Woodcreeper, Silvery-flanked Antwren, Sooretama Slaty Antshrike and the uncommon endemic Ochre-marked Parakeet. The afternoon session started with rain and we were able to bird from three pm ahead. Highlights were a Solitary Tinamous and a male Red-billed Curassow. We also visited the “mussununga” habitat (island of sandy soil with native bushy grassland) where we encountered with Wedge-tailed Grass Finch, Black-faced Tanager, Southern White-fringed Antwren and Plain-crested Elaenia. Back to the forest for the dusk we again succeed great looks at the rare White-winged Potoo to finish this excelent day. November 7th was the last full day at VALE. In the morning we went deep far on the forest road grid. It wasn’t that birdy but we managed some good sightings at some points in the forest, such as good views of Chestnut- backed Antshrike, male White-crowned Manakin, East Brazilian Chachalaca, Southern Mealy Amazon, a very 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Southeast Brazil 2018. www.birdquest-tours.com brief Cinereous Mourner, a stunning male Black-cheeked Gnateater and another Black-headed Berryeater and Red-billed Curassow. Afternoon was more relaxed with time on the grounds near the lodge, around a lake and orchard. We saw Red-cowled Cardinal, Purple and Common Gallinules, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, White- headed Marsh Tyrant, Southern Rough-winged Swallow, Muscovy Duck and some White-eared Parakeets. Later we took a trail in nearby forest specially to seek for the rare Plumbeous Antvireo (which had failed in the morning). The attempt worked surprisingly well and we enjoyed long views of two males, an adult and a youngster. The walk still provided a Buff-throated Woodcreeper, Yellow-throated Woodpecker, Hooded Tanager, Tropical Parula and Dusky-capped Flycatcher. End of day was in the forest along the Flamengo road. There we found Great Potoo at a day roost plus Plumbeous Kite, Greyish Mourner and the localized endemic Red-browed Amazon. Night birding came right after with Short-tailed Nighthawk and great views of a pair of Tawny-browed Owl. November 8th started with an early morning transfer south to Santa Teresa, a small town on the hilly area of Espirito Santo state (home of the late Augusto Ruschi). The region was actually totally covered on bad weather, raining quite intensely when we arrived at our forest birding stop by late morning just outside the town. Despite the rain the place was birdy as usual and we did our best to managed decent views of our main target, the rare Wied’s Tyrant-Manakin. A busy cast was around and came well with goodies such as Grey-hooded Attila, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Chestnut-crowned Becard, Buff-fronted Foliage-gleaner and surprisingly the localized endemic Serra Antwren (three males together; a bird normally seen at a site on the next day). After lunch in Santa Teresa downtown we checked in at the lovely Vita Verde Pousada, a true hummingbird paradise. Feeders of Vita Verde are probably the busiest in South America and we had simply a feast there during a very rainy afternoon. Impressive fifteen species of hummingbirds together - hundreds of Black Jacobin plus some stunning males Frilled Coquette, Planalto, Scale-throated and Rufous-breasted Hermits, Sombre, White-throated and Swallow-tailed Hummingbirds, White-vented Violetear, Brazilian Ruby, Versicolored and Glittering-bellied Emeralds, Violet-capped Woodnymph, Amethyst Woodstar and a single male Ruby-topaz Hummingbird. To complete this wet day, a walk in the rain around the Pousada provided views of endemics Band-tailed Hornero, Yellow-lored Tody-Flycatcher, Campo Troupial and Pallid Spinetail, also Slaty-breasted Wood Rail, Brazilian Teal, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Long-tailed Tyrant and Green-winged Saltator. Green Honeycreeper and Chestnut-bellied Euphonia were also seen on the feeders. November 9th was another very wet day. We kept with the original schedule, leaving Vita Verde right after an early breakfast watching the hummingbirds. Heading south

For sure, this was no ordinary Caribbean holiday! During the first couple of weeks we visited no fewer than ten islands (Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent, Barbados and Grenada), a logistical feat of some magnitude. With plenty of LIAT flights (the islanders refer to LIAT as ‘Leave Island any Time’ and ‘Luggage in Another Terminal’ to name but two of the many funny phrases coined from LIAT) and unreliable AVIS car hire reservations, we had our work cut out, but in the end, all worked out! It’s always strange birding on islands with so few targets, but with so many islands to pack-in, we were never really short of things to do. All of the endemics showed well and there were some cracking highlights, including the four smart endemic amazons, the rare Grenada Dove, the superb Lesser Antillean Barn Owl, the unique tremblers and White-breasted Thrashers, and a series of colourful endemic orioles to name just a few! At the end of the Lesser Antilles adventure we enjoyed a few days on Trinidad.

Sao Paulo: Ibiropuera Park. Our first day in Brazil, and with some of us still bleary eyed after a long overnight flight, we set off into the Sao Paulo traffic. Sao Paulo is apparently home to 7 million cars, and it certainly felt like we saw a decent percentage of them! Iberopuera Park is the largest chunk of green space in the city, and is obviously well used by the city people, despite the drizzling rain. Here we met up with Pat and Trish, and our guide for the day Guillermo. A gentle wander through the park gave us our first introduction to the common birds of Brazil. Rufous-bellied Thrush, Sayaca Tanager, Bananaquit, Greater Kiskadee and both Eared and Ruddy Ground Doves were all in evidence, all to be very familiar species during our trip. On the lake we found Pied-billed Grebe, White-faced Whistling Duck, Common Gallinule and a fishing Green Kingfisher.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

Isospora sepetibensis Berto, Flausino, Luz, Ferreira and Lopes, 2008 is a protozoan coccidian parasite (Chromista: Miozoa: Coc- cidiomorphea: Coccidia) that was originally described from Brazilian tanagers Ramphocelus bresilius (Linnaeus, 1766) in the Marambaia Island in the Coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro. In the current work, this species was identified from black-goggled tanagersTrichothraupis melanops (Vieillot, 1818) in the Itatiaia National Park, which is a protected area with a high degree of vulnerability in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro, distant in more than 100 km of the type-locality. Its oocysts are sub-spherical to elongate ovoidal, 25.9 × 20.7 µm with smooth, bi-layered wall, ~ 1.3 µm and length/width ratio of 1.1–1.4 (1.26).

Both songs consist of a main phrase and an optional terminal phrase. Our recordings of dawn and day songs in Costa Rica were very similar to those made elsewhere in Central America. However, Central American dawn songs were signifi cantly different than dawn songs from South America, both in terms of quantitative features (temporal and frequency variables) and qualitative characteristics (note shape).
