  • Bird Ecology, Conservation, and Community Responses
    BIRD ECOLOGY, CONSERVATION, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO LOGGING IN THE NORTHERN PERUVIAN AMAZON by NICO SUZANNE DAUPHINÉ (Under the Direction of Robert J. Cooper) ABSTRACT Understanding the responses of wildlife communities to logging and other human impacts in tropical forests is critical to the conservation of global biodiversity. I examined understory forest bird community responses to different intensities of non-mechanized commercial logging in two areas of the northern Peruvian Amazon: white-sand forest in the Allpahuayo-Mishana Reserve, and humid tropical forest in the Cordillera de Colán. I quantified vegetation structure using a modified circular plot method. I sampled birds using mist nets at a total of 21 lowland forest stands, comparing birds in logged forests 1, 5, and 9 years postharvest with those in unlogged forests using a sample effort of 4439 net-hours. I assumed not all species were detected and used sampling data to generate estimates of bird species richness and local extinction and turnover probabilities. During the course of fieldwork, I also made a preliminary inventory of birds in the northwest Cordillera de Colán and incidental observations of new nest and distributional records as well as threats and conservation measures for birds in the region. In both study areas, canopy cover was significantly higher in unlogged forest stands compared to logged forest stands. In Allpahuayo-Mishana, estimated bird species richness was highest in unlogged forest and lowest in forest regenerating 1-2 years post-logging. An estimated 24-80% of bird species in unlogged forest were absent from logged forest stands between 1 and 10 years postharvest.

Branches will spring off in all directions to take advantage of every possible opportunity of securing foods. (Osborn 1900, p. 563) I have stated that in the thirteen species of ground-finches, a nearly perfect gradation may be traced, from a beak extraordinarily thick, to one so fine, that it may be compared to that of a warbler. (Darwin 1839, p. 475) Biodiversity e live in a world so rich in species we do not know how many there are. Adding up every one we know, from influenza viruses Wto elephants, we reach a total of a million and a half (Wilson 1992, ch. 8). The real number is almost certainly at least five million, perhaps ten or even twenty, and although very large it is a small fraction of those that have ever existed; the vast majority has become extinct.

  • COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Gu
    COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Guajira, Boyacá, Distrito Capital de Bogotá, Caldas These comments are provided to help independent birders traveling in Colombia, particularly people who want to drive themselves to birding sites rather than taking public transportation and also want to book reservations directly with lodgings and reserves rather than using a ground agent or tour company. Many trip reports provide GPS waypoints for navigation. I used GoogleEarth/ Maps, which worked fine for most locations (not for El Paujil reserve). I paid $10/day for AT&T to hook me up to Claro, Movistar, or Tigo through their Passport program. Others get a local SIM card so that they have a Colombian number (cheaper, for sure); still others use GooglePhones, which provide connection through other providers with better or worse success, depending on the location in Colombia. For transportation, I used a rental 4x4 SUV to reach places with bad roads but also, in northern Colombia, a subcompact rental car as far as Minca (hiked in higher elevations, with one moto-taxi to reach El Dorado lodge) and for La Guajira. I used regular taxis on few occasions. The only roads to sites for Fuertes’s Parrot and Yellow-eared Parrot could not have been traversed without four-wheel drive and high clearance, and this is important to emphasize: vehicles without these attributes would have been useless, or become damaged or stranded. Note that large cities in Colombia (at least Medellín, Santa Marta, and Cartagena) have restrictions on driving during rush hours with certain license plate numbers (they base restrictions on the plate’s final numeral).

  • Colombia 20 February – 9 March 2015
    Colombia 20 February – 9 March 2015 Rob Gordijn & Helen Rijkes ([email protected]) Introduction In our previous trips to Ecuador and Peru we became a big fan of birding in the Andes. We decided that the next South America destination would be Colombia. We were joined by Jelmer Poelstra, Sander Bot and Janne Ouwehand and together we planned a nice 2.5 week trip through the Central and Western Andes. We visited Rio Claro, Anori (Chestnut-capped Piha reserve), Urrao (Dusky Starfrontlet reserve), Bolombolo, Jardin, Apia, Montezuma road, Rio Blanco, Nevado del Ruiz and Monterrondo. Since Jelmer, Sander and Janne had a few days extra they also visited Otun Quimbaya & Parque Florida (and skipped Monterredondo).

This is a regional endemic species confined to the Choco bioregion of northwest Ecuador and western Colombia. Tour Leader: Jose Illanes Report and all photos by Jose Illanes. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report ECUADOR: THE ANDES: INTROTOUR June 2016 INTRODUCTION MAIN TOUR This tour has been designed as an introduction to the wonders of birding the tropics, which it does very well, but also allows us to see some regional specialties confined to this Choco bioregion, (shared with western Colombia). The tour starts at Yanacocha, a high elevation, temperate reserve, where we kicked off with Barred Fruiteater, Andean Pygmy-Owl, Hooded, Black-chested and Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanagers, as well as Andean Guan, Rufous Antpitta and the incredible Sword-billed Hummingbird. Later the same day, our journey to Tandayapa was interrupted by White-capped Dipper. The next day we explored the surrounds of the marvelous Tandayapa Bird Lodge. This cloudforest location is famed for hummingbirds, and after seeing 14 species in less than 10 minutes it was easy to appreciate why! Among the species preset were: Booted-Racket-tail, Western Emerald, Purple-bibbed White-tip, Violet-tailed Sylph and Purple-throated Woodstar. Other stellar birds on the lodge property included a Scaled Antpitta coming in to a worm feeder, and a nesting Beautiful Jay.

  • Colombia Trip Report Andean Endemics 8Th to 25Th November 2014 (18 Days)
    RBT Colombia: Andean Endemics Trip Report - 2014 1 Colombia Trip Report Andean Endemics 8th to 25th November 2014 (18 days) Flame-winged Parakeet by Clayton Burne Trip report compiled by tour leader: Clayton Burne RBT Colombia: Andean Endemics Trip Report - 2014 2 Our tour of Colombia's Andes kicked off at a typical birding hour - too early! Departing Bogota in the dark, we reached Laguna Pedro Palo just after dawn. Situated some 1000m lower than Bogota on the western slopes of the Eastern Cordillera, Laguna Pedro Palo offers an excellent introduction to many Neotropical species, as well as a few Colombian endemics for good measure. The morning started off with a number of commoner tanagers, a pair of Red-faced Spinetail, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, a dashing Green Hermit, White-vented Plumeleteer and the rather scarce Sooty Grassquit. We continued in this good vein adding the spectacular Blue-naped Chlorophonia, a few North American migrants including Black-and-white and Mourning Warblers as well as a host of good tanagers such as Scrub, Bay-headed, Blue-necked, Beryl-spangled and Black-capped. The morning then kicked into high drama as the major target species of the day, the endemic Black Inca, put in a show. The miniscule Olivaceous Piculet offered excellent views before we had brief, but very close views of a male and female Red-headed Barbet. The darker undergrowth gave up decent views of Moustached and Chestnut-capped Brush Finches, but Rusty-breasted Antpitta and Whiskered Wren were less co-operative, the Black Inca by Clayton Burne trips first 'heard only' birds.
