Field Guides Tour Report Serra dos Tucanos, Brazil 2018 Nov 10, 2018 to Nov 20, 2018 Marcelo Padua & Andy Foster For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. This interesting little Itatiaia Spinetail was one of our rewards for visiting the peak of Nova Caledonia. It was just one of the Brazilian endemics and other special birds that we enjoyed on the tour. Photo by participant Claudi Racionero. We started things in Rio and drove to the lovely Itororo lodge, the place we would call home for the next several days, with the knowledge that the days that preceded this tour were marked by a record amount of rainfall in the areas we visit for this tour. So, I was truly worried about the conditions in which we would be birding but we arrived with good weather and quickly fell into a totally different rhythm as we enjoyed the multitude of Hummingbirds and Tanagers that feast on the feeders right outside our lodge. Our hosts put us into our rooms and shortly after lunch we were out exploring the grounds of the lodge. Tiffany was quick to spot a Black-and-White Hawk-Eagle (the first of many great birds she would spot for us) and Michael called out a King Vulture which sent Andy running for his camera, as this was the very first sighting of this species for the lodge. The afternoon also had us looking at a Mantled Hawk, a scarce raptor that is endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Our luck with the weather and the birds continued throughout the tour and we only missed a single afternoon due to rains which is perfectly normal; after all it's called Rainforest for a reason! The days that followed had us working on different altitudinal bands over several days, thus getting to a different set of birds each day. From the lowlands of REGUA, where we enjoyed great looks at Chestnut-backed Antshrike, Unicolored Antwren, Blond-crested Woodpecker and many more, to the peak of Nova Caledonia, where we were treated to high altitude specialists such as Itatiaia Spinetail, Thick-billed Saltator, Black-and-gold Cotinga and passing through Macae de Cima, we enjoyed great weather, excellent birds and delicious food, turning each day into an exciting adventure. This tour is always a treat to lead but each of you made this a particularly enjoyable year for me. Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you all again some day.

    Field Guides Tour Report Ecuador: Rainforest & Andes I 2015 Mar 1, 2015 to Mar 15, 2015 Willy Perez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Brown Inca is a Choco endemic, and this individual was drying out its feathers during our west-slope cloudforest visit. (Photo by guide Willy Perez) This Rainforest & Andes tour title describes our itinerary perfectly: we went from the heights of the Andes (Papallacta being our highest stop, at 4400 meters) to the foothills on both slopes, and then ended at Sacha Lodge in the lowland Amazonian basin. Along the way we passed through wonderful scenery: beautiful dry valleys, cloudforest, rainforest, and the fantastic paramo. Our goal was to see birds, and we saw so many of them! There was a cloud of hummingbirds at Yanacocha, the highlight being a Rainbow-bearded Thornbill nesting on a cliff overhang. And Angel Paz's reserve is always a unique experience; we had Cocks-of-the-rock in full display, a pair of Rufous-bellied Nighthawks roosting, and again many hummingbirds, included Wedge-billed coming to the feeders (the first time I've seen it here). But this time the Giant Antpitta stole the show -- three of them followed us along the trail! And what about the nice welcome from the Common Potoo that some of us could see from our rooms at Septimo Paraiso, and the big surprise with Long-tailed Potoo at Sacha? The day at Silanche felt almost too short, there are so many birds to look for.

    Bolivia: the Andes and Chaco Lowlands

    BOLIVIA: THE ANDES AND CHACO LOWLANDS TRIP REPORT OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 By Eduardo Ormaeche Blue-throated Macaw www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Bolivia, October/November 2017 Bolivia is probably one of the most exciting countries of South America, although one of the less-visited countries by birders due to the remoteness of some birding sites. But with a good birding itinerary and adequate ground logistics it is easy to enjoy the birding and admire the outstanding scenery of this wild country. During our 19-day itinerary we managed to record a list of 505 species, including most of the country and regional endemics expected for this tour. With a list of 22 species of parrots, this is one of the best countries in South America for Psittacidae with species like Blue-throated Macaw and Red-fronted Macaw, both Bolivian endemics. Other interesting species included the flightless Titicaca Grebe, Bolivian Blackbird, Bolivian Earthcreeper, Unicolored Thrush, Red-legged Seriema, Red-faced Guan, Dot-fronted Woodpecker, Olive-crowned Crescentchest, Black-hooded Sunbeam, Giant Hummingbird, White-eared Solitaire, Striated Antthrush, Toco Toucan, Greater Rhea, Brown Tinamou, and Cochabamba Mountain Finch, to name just a few. We started our birding holiday as soon as we arrived at the Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, birding the grassland habitats around the terminal. Despite the time of the day the airport grasslands provided us with an excellent introduction to Bolivian birds, including Red-winged Tinamou, White-bellied Nothura, Campo Flicker, Chopi Blackbird, Chotoy Spinetail, White Woodpecker, and even Greater Rhea, all during our first afternoon.

    Brazil's Eastern Amazonia

    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.

    Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) A Tropical Birding custom extension Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & EAST ANDEAN FOOTHILLS EXTENSION th nd 27 January - 2 February 2021 The main motivation for this custom extension was this Harpy Eagle. This was one of an unusually accessible nesting pair near the Amazonian town of Limoncocha that provided a worthy add-on to The Andes Introtour in northwest Ecuador that preceded this (Jose Illanes/Tropical Birding Tours). Guided by Jose Illanes Birds in the photos within this report are denoted in RED, all photos were taken by the Tropical Birding guide. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) INTRODUCTION This custom extension trip was set up for one person who simply could not get enough of Ecuador…John had just finished Ecuador: The Andes Introtour, in the northwest of the country, and also joined the High Andes Extension to that tour, which sampled the eastern highlands too. However, he was still missing vast chunks of this small country that is bursting with bird diversity. Most importantly, he was keen to get in on the latest “mega bird” in Ecuador, a very accessible Harpy Eagle nest, near a small Amazonian town, which had been hitting the local headlines and drawing the few birding tourists in the country at this time to come see it. With this in mind, TROPICAL BIRDING has been offering custom add-ons to all of our Ecuador offerings (for 2021 and 2022) to see this Harpy Eagle pair, with only three extra days needed to see it.

    21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic

    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.

Photographs by Sean Sime. 2 The Clapper Rail Spring 2019 Editor’s Note As you read this, spring migration in the North- east is nearing its end, and our local parks that were recently filled with birdsong have grown quieter. We hope this issue, with its collection of photography and artwork from the last few months, gives you a chance to reflect on your favorite moments of the spring and provides a small dose of comfort that these birds will be passing through again before you know it. This spring has been a proud time to be a Brooklyn birder. The teams that participated in the Birdathon, as Dennis Hrehowsik and Tina Alleva describe in these pages, raised a club-record amount, matched by The Rainforest Fund, to protect dozens of acres of the low- land Chocó rainforest in Ecuador. And anecdotally, I’ve encountered more birders in Prospect Park than in previous springs, and many new faces at that. Thus, the BBC continues to spread its wings, from field trips to activism, here and much farther afield.
