    THE BEST OF COSTA RICA MARCH 19–31, 2019 Buffy-crowned Wood-Partridge © David Ascanio LEADERS: DAVID ASCANIO & MAURICIO CHINCHILLA LIST COMPILED BY: DAVID ASCANIO VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM THE BEST OF COSTA RICA March 19–31, 2019 By David Ascanio Photo album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidascanio/albums/72157706650233041 It’s about 02:00 AM in San José, and we are listening to the widespread and ubiquitous Clay-colored Robin singing outside our hotel windows. Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.

    Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 22(4), 419-421 SHORTCOMMUNICATION December 2014 Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus) preying on a Glassfrog (Anura, Centrolenidae) in Sierra de Perijá, northwestern Venezuela Marcial Quiroga-Carmona1,3 and Adrián Naveda-Rodríguez2 1 Centro de Ecología, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, Caracas 1020-A, Apartado 2032, Venezuela. 2 The Peregrine Fund, 5668 West Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709, U.S.A. 3 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 17 September 2014. Accepted on 8 November 2014. ABSTRACT: We report the predation of a glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium pallidum) by a Crested Quetzal (Pharomachrus antisianus). The record was made in a locality in the Sierra de Perijá, near to the northern part of the border between Colombia and Venezuela, and consisted in observinga male P. antisianus vocalizing with a glassfrog in its bill. The vocalizations were answered by a female, which approached the male, took the frog with its bill and carried it into a cavity built on a landslide. Subsequent to this, the male remained near to the cavity until the female left it and together they abandoned this place. Based on the behavior observed in the couple of quetzals, and what has previously been described that this group of birds gives their young a diet rich in animal protein comprised of arthropods and small vertebrates, we believe that the couple was raising a brood at the time when the observation was carried out. KEYWORDS: Anurophagy, diet, Hyalinobatrachium, Trogonidae, Trogoniformes. The consumption of animal protein is a behavior a behavior also reported for P. pavoninus (Lebbin 2007) exhibited by most of the species of the family Trogonidae.

  • Some New Information on the Distribution of Venezuelan Birds
    Some new information on the distribution of Venezuelan birds Peter Boesman Como resultado de la observación de aves en el campo durante los ultimos 10 años, se presenta un resumen de nuevos datos de distribución de aves en Venezuela. Los datos están organizados por area (20 en total), la mayoria de las areas son poco conocidas. Las observaciones de mayor importancia se detallan en ‘appendix 1’. En Falcón, la Serranía de San Luis tiene muchas más especies tipicas de las alturas sub-tropicales de la Cordillera de la Costa que previamente conocido, las serranias en el noreste de Falcón, de alturas bajas, tienen una avifauna abundante de especies de selva tropical, y areas de agua dulce en esta misma parte de Falcón y el norte de Carabobo son un refugio para muchas especies acuaticas poco conocidas. Los Andes en Lara y Trujillo no han sido estudiados tan profundamente como en Mérida, y por consecuencia se han descubierto importantes extensiones en la distribución de varias especies. En Mérida, se documenta indicaciones de una ruta migratoria muy importante a través del Valle del Río Santo Domingo. Las alturas bajas del Parque Nacional Tamá en Táchira (en el valle de los ríos Frio y Negro) y las areas adjacentes en Apure merecen mayor investigación en vista de algunas observaciones sorprendentes. Igualmente, los descubrimientos en islas del Río Orinoco fueron inesperados. La selva del Río Caura en el norte de Bolívar alberga especies previamente conocidas solamente del estado de Amazonas, y la región del Río Grande en el noreste de Bolívar tiene una avifauna tipicamente Guyanesa.

This fabulous Cloud Forest and Foothills tour truly is the mecca of Andean birding, with almost 250 species recorded including a staggering 36 dazzling species of hummingbirds seen well, as well as many colorful mind-blowing tanagers, plus several very neat and exciting endemics! Voted the top two birds of the trip (with outstanding views of both) were the outrageous Marvelous Spatuletail and, of course, the magnificent Golden-headed Quetzal. Another top bird was the fiery, well-named Flame-faced Tanager feeding at eye level 10 m in front of us. Sadly, due to this year’s unseasonal wet period, we were unable to try for the cute Long-whiskered Owlet after having such good luck in the past. The weather was not good enough, and the trail down was way too slippery after the rains. However, I’m sure none of us will ever forget our drop-dead views around our lodge of two mega endemics—the multicolored recently described Johnson’s Tody-Flycatcher and that cute ball of fluff, the Chestnut Antpitta! The rarely seen Chestnut Antpitta gave us all a wonderful show as our patience at last paid off © Andrew Whittaker Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 Cloud Forests of Northern Peru Pre-trip, 2019 This tour is always a terrific hummingbird and tanager bonanza ( if you love them as I do, then this is the trip for you )! Again, this trip produced a non-stop iridescent kaleidoscope of colors at lodge feeders and several other private feeders and hummingbird gardens we visited.
