North Peru and Iquitos

11 dec 2006 – 13 jan 2007

SPANGLED COTINGA AT NUEVO SALEM PHOTO: ROGER AHLMAN

Report compiled by Roger Ahlman Introduction

This was Roger’s sixth trip to Northern Peru. The trip was organized by Andean Birding. In general the whether was good but a little bit too much rain in the Abra Patricia area and we doubtless lost some species there, specially in the Afluentes part. The dense fog at Limon de Porcuya was of course a major problem with visibility just 5-10 metres. ExplorNapo near Iquitos was not very successful partly because lack of time but also some rain and some species that just wouldn’t show. The roads in the Marañon are generally in rather poor condition with the stretch between Leimebamba and Pedro Ruiz being worst.

Our car supplier did not deliver the car at Cajamarca as agreed and the first days had to be a bit rough due to time problems, but we didn’t miss any target species due to this. Also we didn’t have a reservation at Nuevo Salem. The agency which handles this did not do what they were told. We sorted that out on spot and no harm done. Otherwise the trip went without any major problems. Light stomach illness grazed in the group but nothing serious.

Itinerary 3 Bird List 10 Mammal List 54 ITINERARY

11 dec – The group was met at Lima airport by the leader Roger Ahlman and transferred to a nice hotel nearby.

12 dec – Early departure (3.45 am) for the airport and the flight to Iquitos where we were met by staff from the Tahuayo lodge. The heat and the first lowland birds met us as we went to the port and a two and a half hour boat ride to the lodge. After lunch we hit the trail behind the lodge in nice igapò forest. Good for being in the afternoon with Black-tailed Antbird and Blue- cheeked Jacamar as highlights.

13 dec – After a short boat ride to San Pedro village, we walked the nice trail to Chino village. Rather slow but Spix’s Guan, Great Jacamar, Saturnine Antshrike and Striped Manakin. In the afternoon we went upriver and transferred to canoes and finally came to a small tower overlooking a marsh which had Horned Screamer and Lemon-throated Barbet among others. 121 species today.

14 dec!– In the morning we again did the igapò trail behind the lodge. Highlights included Dot-backed Antbird, Chestnut-capped Puffbird and Amazonian Royal-Flycatcher. Afternoon was spent around Chino with the target Short-tailed Parrot soon bagged. A number of other nice birds went onto the list including Black-spotted Bare-eye, Sulphury Flycatcher and Spotted Tody-flycatcher.

15 dec – On the way back to Iquitos we stopped at a river island at the mouth of river Tahuayo which was very good with several river island specialists like Black-and-white Antbird, Ash-breasted Antbird, Castelnau’s Antshrike and Plain-breasted Piculet. Roger saw a pair of Pale-breasted Spinetail which may not be known from this part of Peru. Another island with lower vegetation completed the list with birds like White-bellied Spinetail and Lesser Hornero. A bigger island was mostly for boxlunch before we went back to Iquitos and the nice Posada de Lobo. In the afternoon we went to the Mishana-Allpahuayo reserve not far from Iquitos. As could be expected it was very quiet but we did find a pair of Brown- banded Puffbirds and a male Pearly Antshrike.

16 dec – We were picked up at the hotel by Lucio from the Explorama lodge and transferred to the dock for three rather boring hours to the ExplorNapo lodge. After lunch we hit the trails to look for an antswarms that had been around a few days before. We didn’t find those and not much else either. A pair of Black-and-white Tody-Flycatchers helped a bit. After dinner we made a boattrip upriver and spotlighted a Rufous Potoo to everyones delight.

17 dec – We left the lodge at 4.30 for the canopy walkway. Great Potoo heard en route. Good activity until 10 am when we went back. Breakfast was supposed to be delivered to us but that did not happen! After lunch and a short rest we went with boat to a river island and had brief views of Bay Hornero and Zimmer’s Woodcreeper. Further down the Napo river we came to some sandbars which had many Sand-coloured Nighthawks and Pied Lapwing. Up another small river to a marsh where we tape out a pair of White-chinned Jacamars. After dinner we went for a nightwalk to a site for Nocturnal Currasow but it started to rain just as we came there and we didn’t hear or see them, unfortunately.

18 dec – Early breakfast and a rather eventless walk on the trails until we found an antswarm that had several species of antbirds. Departure at 9 am for Ceiba Tops lodge and lunch. As the boat shouldn’t leave until later we took a taxi boat back to Iquitos and the hotel. Back to the Bellavista harbour and a chartered boat took us up the Nanay river to Cocha Padre. After a while we taped in a Black-crested Antshrike and at dusk saw a few Band-tailed Nighthawks.

19 dec – Departure 5 am with our local guide Juan Diaz to Mishana- Allpahuayo in light drizzle. Very quiet in the forest but we did find a few things like Ancient Antwren, Zimmer’s Antbird and Orange-crested Manakin. Back to Iquitos for lunch, shower and to the airport and back to Lima.

20 dec – Again a very early departure to the airport and morning flight to Cajamarca. Skip and Lynn Nelson met us at the airport and the group was complete for the main part of the tour. Charlie Vogt was also part of the team (but not for long…). The first few days was to be a bit off schedule due to problems with the hired car that was not here as agreed. Unfortunately we used an unreliable company for this. Another car took us to our hotel at Baños del Inca and we dumped our stuff and went south to San Marcos and a stake-out for the rare Great Spinetail. After a lot of playbacking and singing response, most in the group got brief views of one bird. Several other birds were here as well like the endemic Black-necked Woodpecker. In the afternoon we went to rio Chonta and tried in vain for the Gray-bellied Comet but had to settle with birds like Black Metaltail, Rusty-crowned Tit- spinetail and others.

21-22 dec – Back to Rio Chonta and another try for the Comet. This time we found a male that eventually everyone saw well and the first of several rare hummingbirds was under the belt. Baron’s Spinetail was another Peruvian endemic that we found as well. Back to Baños del Inca and the car finally came around 1 pm. Now we found out that there simply wasn’t enough room for everyone so Charlie had to be ditched unfortunately. The car was loaded by 2 pm and now started the torturous trip to el Molino… A long drive south via Cajabamba on bad dirt roads and into the night. The driver and people were tired and we made a few stops until we came to a rushing river at 1 am and had to stop. We all crashed in the car for a few hours until 6 am when it was light enough to see how to cross the river. We continued and came to El Molino around 10 am and didn’t have to get out of the car before we had seen what we came here for – the critically endangered Purple-backed Sunbeam! 15 hours from Cajamarca and a rough night in the car is what it takes to get this one. We walked the trail here and saw another and also taped out the endemic Unicoloured Tapaculo before we started the long and equally boring drive back to Cajamarca. We stopped at laguna Sausacocha to pick up some high altitude wetland species. We made it as far as Cajabamba and found a hotel at 8 pm.

23 dec – We left Cajabamba at 5 am and had breakfast in San Marcos and a short stop to try again for the Great Spinetail but just heard it. On the way to Celendin we stopped at La Encañada and found Jelski’s Chat-Tyrant. Near Cruz Conga we stopped at a stake-out and after a while most in the group had got glimpses of the ‘Cajamarca’ Rufous Antpitta and we also saw Jelski’s Chat-Tyrant here and the baroni race of Rufous-naped Brush-Finch. Later on we found a pair of the rare White-tailed Shrike-Tyrant among the more common Black-billed. It was getting dark and we continued to Celendin and were now back to schedule.

24 dec – Early start for Hacienda Limon. Two Curve-billed Tinamous were standing on the road and we had gripping views of one on the way down. I spotted a half-built nest of a Thornbird and stopped the car and we bagged the Chestnut-backed Thornbird from inside the car! Soon we also found several singing Gray-backed Inca-Finches and also Marañon Thrushes among more common birds. After breakfast we drove down towards Balsas by the Marañon river seeing many Buff-bridled Inca-Finches which replaces the Gray-winged lower down. An extensive search for Yellow-faced Parrotlet yielded nothing and we had a good candidate for dip-of-the-trip! A long way up the east slope of the river valley with a brief lunch stop and further on to Abra Barro Negro where we came in the late afternoon picking up some common high altitude species. Roger spotted a hummer pearched that turned out to be the endemic Coppery Metaltail. We saw another while we looked at the other main target for the day – the peruviana race of White-chinned Thistletail which is certainly a good species. Night in Leimebamba.

25 dec – Again up towards Abra Barro Negro and on a small trail. We soon found a flock that had the rare and range-restricted Russet-mantled Softtail which was the main target for the day. Birding was excellent with Gray- breasted Mountain-Toucan, Rainbow Starfrontlet and others as highlights. Back to Leimebamba for lunch and then on to the very poor road towards Tingo. We stopped at Chillo and found a perched female Little Woodstar and our list of good hummers were growing. Night at a nice hosteria near Tingo.

26 dec – After a few hours on the pot-holed road we finally came to Pedro Ruiz and paved road and continued to Pomacochas and the nice hotel Pumas. As it was a light drizzle we went down to the lake and flushed some Puna Snipes. On the way back along the reed we found a group of three Bobolinks which was surpring up in the highlands. The rain had made the dirt roads undriveable and the car got stuck! We hired another car to take us to the new Spatuletail reserve just out of town. Our local contact Santos joined us up to the reserve and after some waiting we had all had good views of a full-plumaged male Marvelous Spatuletail and also a female and an immature male as well as Emerald-bellied Puffleg and Purple-throated Sunangel. Happy with this we went back to town and celebrated with some local wine in a bodega.

27 dec – Early departure for the higher parts of Abra Patricia, one of the best birding sites in Peru. Good birds were in abundance this morning with the best views that I’ve ever had of a male Royal Sunangel, Lulu’s Tody- Flycatcher Cinnamon-breasted Tody-tyrant and Yellow-scarfed Tanager to mention some. Rain in the afternoon so we went down to Aguas Verdes and installed ourselves in the restaurant where we should spend three nights. The rain eased and we birded along the road with goodies like Ecuadorian Tyrannulet, Yellow-crested Tanager and a big flock of Barred Parakeets. The surprice, however, was a female Crested Becard seen very well and not known from this part of Peru.

28 dec – We started the morning with a trail opposite the restaurant. Just when we came to the main forest edge we hit a big flock that kept us for about an hour. Mostly the common birds but also Spectacled Bristle-Tyrant, Orange-eared Tanager and a brief Many-spotted Hummingbird. Rain held us for a few hours but in the afternoon we birded our way up to the higher parts. We waited at a stake-out for Swallow-tailed Nightjar that failed to show but we heard White-throated Screech-Owl and spotlighted an Andean Potoo! After dinner at Chachita we went for a stake-out for Cinnamon Screech-Owl but no luck.

29 dec – The morning started with rain. Later we birded around Afluentes and had to settle with a heard Ash-throated Antwren. Some saw Ecuadorian Piedtail and others got Wire-crested Thorntail and everyone had good looks at Amazonian Umbrellabird. In the afternoon we went to Rioja stopping at Yacumama for very slow afternoon birding. While we waited in the shadow for the temperature to get down, I heard a call and said “Buckley’s forest-Falcon”! After a short search we found it and had smashing scope views. Alex left us today to run another trip.

30 dec – Today we went to the nearby strange mountain Morro de Calzada. Due to some rain during the night the dirt track was too slippery to drive so we had to walk the last bit. Rather slow birding but we picked up some birds like Bluish-fronted Jacamar, Fiery-capped Manakin and Ocellated Piculet being seen while Cinereous-breasted Spinetail, Russet-crowned Crake and Tataupa Tinamou were heard only. In the afternoon back to Aguas Verdes and the restaurant floor. At dusk we went up to the site for the Cinnamon Screech-Owl for another try. While we waited we heard an Ochre-fronted Antpitta calling! Probably the rarest bird of the trip or at least the one that fewest people have recorded. No luck with the owl though. 31 dec – We started the morning trying for the Antpitta again but no luck. Earlier a local had told us that he knew where an Owl has its daytime roost in a cave about an hour away. Sounded good so we went with him. One hour in local pace is not the same as one hour in birding pace. After three hours we gave up and walked back! We did see two Peruvian endemics that we didn’t see elsewhere; Inca Flycatcher and Maroon-chested Chat-Tyrant. Back to Pomacochas with a stop at some big cliffs and good views of many Mitred Parakeets and some White-eyed Parakeets. Night in Pomacochas.

1 jan – The new year started with rain and a walk on a poor trail so we decided to leave the mountains and head for the lower Marañon. En route we stopped at a stake-out I had for Marañon Spinetail and got a response immediately but very difficult to get good views of this mega-skulker. At Bagua Chica we checked in at hotel Wilson and went for an afternoon birding session nearby. Got most of the targets around here including Little Inca-Finch which completed the Incaspiza hat-trick.

2 jan –!Departure 5 am for Imacita with breakfast along the way. Rather slow birding with Chestnut-winged Hookbill and Fulvous-crested Tanager as highlights and a brief view of a Rufous-sided Crake that ran across the road. At Imacita we found out that we didn’t have a reservation for Nuevo Salem! After some telephone calls we were off to the village together with a local, Julio, who works as a kind of guard among the villages. He should prove to be an excellent company… We were heartly greeted by the village chief Jorge and the villagers helped us carry everything to the ‘lodge’ where we pitched the tents.

3 jan – Pre-dawn departure for the higher parts where the Orange-throated Tanager is sometimes seen. It was foggy in the morning and after a short rain shower things started to get hot when Jorge and Julio called out that they heard the Tanager. Some in the group heard it as well but we never found it. Rest of the day was spent scanning the trees around the clearing but no Tanager. We did see other birds like Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle, Black-bellied Cuckoo, 8 White-browed Purpletufts, Spangled Cotingas, Yellow-backed Tanagers and Short-billed Honeycreepers to mention some.

4 jan – Same as yesterday but we went back to the village for lunch and left for Imacita in the afternoon disappointed to have dipped the Tanager. New for the trip was White-plumed Antbird, Chestnut-headed Crake heard and swift views of Scarlet-shouldered Parottlet. Night in Imacita.

5 jan – Back to Bagua with birding en route. New things included Golden- tailed Sapphires, Lafresnaye’s Piculet, Golden-winged Tody-Flycatchers, Black-faced Tanagers and Red-legged Honeycreepers. A fruitless try for Marañon Cresentchest near Bagua at a site that must now be a former site after extensive clearing. To Jaen for the night. 6 jan – We went up to the nearby Priest seminario and soon heard Marañon Cresentchest but despite playback we only got brief glimpses. Marañon Slaty-Antshrike showed well as did Brown-crest Flycatcher, Red-crested Finch and Tumbesian Tyrannulet etc. On the way down a pair of Chinchipe Spinetails came in very nicely to playback and the mission here was accomplished. At lunch we enjoyed the FA cup clash at Anfield between Liverpool and Arsenal and the tour leader was happy with a 3-1 victory for the Gunners! In the afternoon we searched in vain for the Peruvian Pigeon.

7 jan – We made several stops along the river to look for the Pigeon but no joy. Instead we went to Olmos and did some productive intro-birding to the Tumbesian part of Peru. Highlights included the endemic Tumbes Tyrant at a good stake-out. Red-masked Parakeets, Short-tailed Woodstars, White- tailed Jays and others made it onto the list. Night at hotel Remanso.

8 jan – We started early to get up to Limon de Porcuya, only to find out that the visibility was less than 10 metres! However, we started seeing and hearing birds. Some Chestnut-crowned Antpittas, Plumbeous-backed Thrushes, both Bay-crowned- and White-winged Brush-Finches and Black- cowled Saltators. Best bird was a pair of the rare and endemic Piura Chat- Tyrant. We gave up and went back to Olmos and took what we needed for the trip to Quebrada Limon. We arrived there in the afternoon and installed ourselves in the school and went birding. Very good afternoon birding with stuff like Hummingbird, Tyrants, Sparrows, Swifts and Pewee – all with the prefix Tumbes. Ecuadorian Trogon came in nicely to playback as did Elegant Cresentchest and a Solitary Eagle showed very well. In the evening we heard Scrub Nightjar and taped in West Peruvian Screech-Owl to within a few metres.

9 jan – The local Guan-tracker Lino Rico joined us this morning in the quest for the critically endangered White-winged Guan. A couple of Pale-browed Tinamous were seen with more heard while searching. Suddenly Lino found some and we followed them and eventually had absolutely gripping views of no less than six Guans! Now we could relax and picked up Sooty-crowned Flycatchers and Chestnut-collared Swallows while we enjoyed this marvelous site and its birds. Later we went back to Olmos and tried again for Striped Owls on daytime roost but that particular part of the forest had recently been cut down so no Owls for us. Night in Olmos again.

10 jan – Another try for Limon de Porcuya but the weather was the same with dense fog. We did pick up the species we missed last time like Ecuadorian Piculet, Chapman’s Antshrike and Roger saw Henna-hooded Foliage-gleaner while Rufous-necked had to be left heard only. A rather long drive to Chiclayo and then to the very nice and peaceful private Chaparrí reserve. Easy afternoon birding with time for photos, good looks at the birds and some relaxing. Sulphur-throated Finch was the main target here and we saw about 500 on the way in. Peregrine and Snowy-throated Kingbird were other new for the trip. 11 jan –!Relaxed birding around the lodge with introduced White-winged Guans, wild Andean Condors and King Vultures, Tumbes Hummingbird and Long-billed Starthroat and many other Tumbesian birds. On the way out we looked at several places for Peruvian Thick-knee but had to settle with Scrub Nightjars and Burrowing Owls. At the nearby Tinajones reservoir we soon found two individuals of the isolated population of Black- faced Ibis. Other new birds here were Great Grebe, Savanna Hawk and White-cheeked Pintails. Afternoon was spent near the coast south of Chiclayo mainly looking for the Thick-knee, which only Roger saw flying. Night in Chiclayo.

12 jan – Morning birding at Bosque Pomac. First five minutes produced Tumbes Swallows, Rufous Flycatchers and Coastal Miners! After some searching Jonas found a pair of Peruvian Thick-knees to everyones relief. After some searching in the woods we heard a Peruvian Plantcutter and soon tracked it down so everyone had good looks at a male. The last of the main targets were now bagged and we could bird more relaxed looking at the many Tumbesian species that occurs here. In the afternoon we did some coastal birding to boost the trip list south of Chiclayo at Puerto Eten. Chilean Flamingos and many North American waders with Red Knot being somewhat of a rarity. A Pomarine Skua was a surprise inshore. Night in Chiclayo.

13 jan – As we had a rather early flight to Lima there was no more birding and the total trip list ended at around 770 species including 37 peruvian endemics! Bird List

Compiled by Stefan Lihner, Karlshamn, Sweden

Names and systematic order according to: Duff & Lawson Mammals of the World – a checklist

Southern Tamandua Tamandua tetradactyla 14/12 One seen along track from Tahuayo Lodge

Guayaquil Squirrel Sciurus stramineus Endemic to Tumbes; SW Ecuador, NW Peru. One seen outside Guan Center in Limon, and one seen at Bosque de Pomac 10/1 & 12/1

Unidentified Squirrel Sciurus sp. 28/12 A medium sized very dark brown, actually looking black, squirrel was seen moving in trees between 5 and 10 meters off the ground at Aguas Verdes (about 1000 meters above sea level). It strongly resembled a Guianan Squirrel (Sciurus aestuans) and therefore initially was believed to belong to this species. Sciurus aestuans however is according to litterature never confirmed in Peru. Out of the three to four species of Sciurus, with a georgaphical distribution including this area, only two have a non-white belly. These two are: S ignitus (Bolivian Squirrel) and S ingniventris (Northern Amazon Red Squirrel). The latter is much larger that S aestuans, and should reveal at least some pure chestnut, rust-red or orange. According to Emmons,Louise, Neotropical Rainforest Mammals, 2nd edn. description of S ignitus best fits our animal, but is not known to occur this dark. Nor is this species confirmed as far west as Aguas Verdes.
