  • PANAMA's CANOPY TOWER 2019 (With Canopy Lodge Extension)
    Field Guides Tour Report PANAMA'S CANOPY TOWER 2019 (with Canopy Lodge Extension) Feb 3, 2019 to Feb 13, 2019 John Coons, Alexis Sanchez and Danilo Rodriguez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. There were a handful of tanagers we saw just about every day of the trip, and one of those was the Golden-hooded Tanager. Photo by participant Keith Ohmart. It was wonderful to have a week at the Canopy Tower with all of you and explore the varied nearby habitats and the rich birdlife that central Panama has to offer. Birding was great right out the door of the Tower and each day offered new surprises. Starting on our first morning, we had great looks at Green Shrike-Vireo at eye level from the top of the Tower. We enjoyed walking the road where we picked up several cool birds including a pair of Double- toothed Kites in the road with talons locked and scowling at each other. We never did figure out the motive. At Metropolitan Park in Panama City, we happened upon a troop of Howler Monkeys going through the trees that inadvertently flushed a Great Potoo that landed on an exposed limb for a scope look. We enjoyed a morning at the Discovery Center Tower, where we spotted and scoped many species, with a male Blue Cotinga being a highlight. Our night drive on Semaphore Hill yielded a Black-and-white Owl over the road, a Great Tinamou perched in a tree, an armadillo, two species of sloth, two Gray-bellied Night Monkeys, and a Central American Wooly Possum.

  • Quail-Dove Zentrygon Chiriquensis
    Daniel M. Brooks 232 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(3) Courtship display of Rufous-breasted (Chiriquí) Quail-Dove Zentrygon chiriquensis by Daniel M. Brooks Received 3 December 2013 Rufous-breasted (Chiriquí) Quail-Dove Zentrygon chiriquensis is endemic to the highlands (300–3,100 m) of Costa Rica and western Panama (Kirwan 2010). It is a relatively little-known species, with natural history accounts containing large gaps in knowledge (e.g., Baptista et al. 1997, Gibbs et al. 2001, Kirwan 2010, BirdLife International 2013). Similarly, little (Gibbs et al. 2001) to no information (Baptista et al. 1997) exists in general Columbidae synopses regarding components of the courtship display in Geotrygon and Zentrygon. Banks et al. (2013) split the genus Geotrygon into three groups based on genetic data. These are: (1) the nine species of Geotrygon (Indigo-crowned purpurata, Sapphire saphirina, Crested versicolor, Ruddy montana, Violaceous violacea, Grey-fronted caniceps, White-fronted leucometopia, Key West chrysia and Bridled Quail-Doves mystacea), (2) Olive-backed Quail- Dove Leptotrygon veraguensis, and (3) eight species in the newly proposed Zentrygon (Tuxtla carrikeri, Buff-fronted costaricensis, Purplish-backed lawrencii, White-faced albifacies, White- throated frenata, Lined linearis, Russet-backed chiriquensis and Russet-crowned Quail-Doves goldmani). However, no information was provided on how these species are related morphologically or behaviourally. Behavioural characters comprising innate fixed-action patterns can be used to help elucidate avian phylogenies. Studies utilising behavioural characters to elucidate relationships among birds have been undertaken at specific (Gaucher et al. 1996), generic (Garcia & Brooks 2007), familial (Archibald 1976, Hughes 1996) and ordinal (Kennedy 1996) levels.

  • Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (Custom Tour)
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador 18th November – 6th December 2019 Hummingbirds were a big feature of this tour; with 58 hummingbird species seen, that included some very rare, restricted range species, like this Blue-throated Hillstar. This critically-endangered species was only described in 2018, following its discovery a year before that, and is currently estimated to number only 150 individuals. This male was seen multiple times during an afternoon at this beautiful, high Andean location, and was widely voted by participants as one of the overall highlights of the tour (Sam Woods). Tour Leader: Sam Woods Photos: Thanks to participant Chris Sloan for the use of his photos in this report. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador ranks as one of the most popular South American tours among professional bird guides (not a small claim on the so-called “Bird Continent”!); the reasons are simple, and were all experienced firsthand on this tour… Ecuador is one of the top four countries for bird species in the World; thus high species lists on any tour in the country are a given, this is especially true of the south of Ecuador. To illustrate this, we managed to record just over 600 bird species on this trip (601) of less than three weeks, including over 80 specialties. This private group had a wide variety of travel experience among them; some had not been to South America at all, and ended up with hundreds of new birds, others had covered northern Ecuador before, but still walked away with 120 lifebirds, and others who’d covered both northern Ecuador and northern Peru, (directly either side of the region covered on this tour), still had nearly 90 new birds, making this a profitable tour for both “veterans” and “South American Virgins” alike.

  • Panama's Canopy Tower and El Valle's Canopy Lodge

Langham VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DR., AUSTIN, TX 78746 Phone: 512-328-5221 or 800-328-8368 / Fax: 512-328-2919 [email protected] / www.ventbird.com Myriads of magazine articles have touted Panama’s incredible Canopy Tower, a former U.S. military radar tower transformed by Raúl Arias de Para when the U.S. relinquished control of the Panama Canal Zone. It sits atop 900-foot Semaphore Hill overlooking Soberania National Park. While its rooms are rather spartan, the food is Panama’s Canopy Tower © Ruthie Stearns excellent and the opportunity to view birds at dawn from the 360º rooftop Observation Deck above the treetops is outstanding. Twenty minutes away is the start of the famous Pipeline Road, possibly one of the best birding roads in Central and South America. From our base, daily birding outings are made to various locations in Central Panama, which vary from the primary forest around the tower, to huge mudflats near Panama City and, finally, to cool Cerro Azul and Cerro Jefe forest. An enticing example of what awaits visitors to this marvelous birding paradise can be found in excerpts taken from the Journal I write during every tour and later e- mail to participants. These are taken from my 17-page, January 2019 Journal. On our first day at Canopy Tower, with 5 of the 8 participants having arrived, we were touring the Observation Deck on top of Canopy Tower when Ruthie looked up and called my attention to a bird flying in our direction...it was a Black Hawk-Eagle! I called down to others on the floor below and we watched it disappear into the distant clouds.
