We also tested how gorget coloration varies among males based on 19 their plumage, behavioral, and morphological characteristics. In contrast with previous 20 work on other animals, we found that displaying males did not directionally face the sun, 21 but instead displayed on a continuum of solar orientation angles. The gorgets of males 22 who tended to face the sun during their displays appeared flashier (i.e. exhibited greater 23 color/brightness changes), brighter, and more colorful, whereas the gorgets of males who 2 Broad-tailed hummingbird coloration and sun orientation 24 tended to not face the sun were more consistently reflective (i.e.

Santa Rosa 11315, La Pintana, Santiago, Chile. 2 AvesChile (Chilean Ornithologists' Union), Santiago, Chile. E-mail: Cristián F. Estades∙[email protected] Abstract ∙ The Chilean Woodstar (Eulidia yarrellii) is a critically endangered hummingbird of the Atacama desert in northern Chile, with a population estimate of around 320 individuals in 2017. To generate useful information for the design of population-recovery actions, we conducted a study of the nesting ecology of the species between 2006 and 2008. Our specific goals were to provide a quantitative descrip- tion of the species breeding habitat, to describe the basic breeding biology of the species, and to assess the current levels of nesting success. Most of our work was conducted in the valleys of Azapa and Vitor, two of the three last valleys where the species is known to persist. Alt- hough we recorded some juveniles in Azapa, we only observed the species nesting in one site in Chaca (Vitor valley), in a small (1.4 ha) olive grove where 13–20 simultaneous nests were found during the studied breeding seasons. Nesting occurs in September–October, and its tim- ing is apparently synchronized with the flowering of chañar (Geoffroea decorticans). The species has a particularly long breeding period with an average of 48 days (17 d for the egg stage, 31 d for the nestling stage).

    Diagnosis and Observations of a Hybrid Hummingbird (Metallura Tyrianthina X Aglaiocercus Kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F

    Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 39(153):481-490, octubre-diciembre de 2015 Hybrid hummingbird at Rogitama, Boyacá doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.260 Ciencias naturales Diagnosis and observations of a hybrid hummingbird (Metallura tyrianthina x Aglaiocercus kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F. Gary Stiles*, José Oswaldo Cortés-Herrera Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia Abstract An unusual, strikingly colored male hummingbird present for several months in the Rogitama Biodiversity Reserve in Boyacá, Colombia created considerable media attention. It was initially suggested that the bird might represent the rediscovery of the Bogotá Sunangel, Heliangelus zusii. However, a later study of its DNA identified H. zusii as a member of a clade that includes Aglaiocercus and Taphrolesbia. Given the many differences in plumage from the Rogitama hummingbird, this hypothesis was rejected. Three hypotheses regarding its identity were examined in detail: it could represent an unusually colored male of Aglaiocercus kingi, a hybrid between two local species, or an undescribed species. We observed this bird’s foraging and interactions with other hummingbirds, recorded its song and captured it to describe in detail its plumage and take morphological measurements, after which it was released. We rejected all hypotheses except that of a hybrid, and concluded that A. kingi and Metallura tyrianthina were its probable parents. In contrast to its plumage and morphometrics, its song was unlike those of its putative parents, possibly representing a transgressive character. The same may be true of the bluish coloration (termed “hybrid bluing”) that characterized several hybrids between green-backed parental species, including the Rogitama hummingbird.

Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013 Abstract Phylogenetic analysis of the family Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) indicates that the genus Asthenes is polyphyletic, consisting of two groups that are not sister taxa. Pseudasthenes, a new genus of ovenbird, is described for one of these groups. The four species included in the new genus, formerly placed in Asthenes, are P. humicola, P. patagonica, P. steinbachi, and P. cactorum. Key words: Asthenes, Oreophylax, Schizoeaca, phylogeny, taxonomy Asthenes Reichenbach 1853, a genus of the Neotropical avian family Furnariidae, currently contains 22 species of small ovenbirds restricted to Andean and southern South American temperate and subtropical regions, where they inhabit open areas dominated by rocks, shrubs and grasses (Remsen 2003). Members of the genus, commonly known as canasteros, are extremely diverse in behavior, ecology, and nest architecture, suggesting that Asthenes is not monophyletic (Pacheco et al. 1996; Zyskowski & Prum 1999; Remsen 2003; Vasconcelos et al.

INTRODUCTION Not everyone is fortunate enough to visit Peru; a marvelous country that boasts a huge country bird list, which is second only to Colombia. Unlike our usual set departure, we started out with a daylong extension to Lomas de Lachay first, before starting out on the usual itinerary for the main tour. On this extra day we managed to 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 find many extra birds like Peruvian Thick-knee, Least Seedsnipe, Peruvian Sheartail, Raimondi’s Yellow- Finch and the localized Cactus Canastero. The first site of the main tour was Huacarpay Lake, near the beautiful Andean city of Cusco (accessed after a short flight from Lima). This gave us a few endemic species like Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero; along with other less local species like Many-colored Rush-tyrant, Plumbeous Rail, Puna Teal, Andean Negrito and Puna Ibis. The following day we birded along the road towards Manu where we picked up birds like Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Spot-winged Pigeon, and a beautiful Peruvian endemic in the form of Creamy-crested Spinetail. We also saw Yungas Pygmy-Owl, Black-faced Ibis, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain- Tanagers, Red-crested Cotinga and the gorgeous Grass-green Tanager.

We had particular success with some tricky groups, finding 12 Rails and Crakes (all but 1 being seen!), 11 Antpittas (8 seen), 90 Tanagers and allies, 71 Hummingbirds, 95 Flycatchers. We also found many of the iconic endemic species of Northern Peru, such as White-winged Guan, Peruvian Plantcutter, Marañón Crescentchest, Marvellous Spatuletail, Pale-billed Antpitta, Long-whiskered Owlet, Royal Sunangel, Koepcke’s Hermit, Ash-throated RBL Northern Peru Trip Report 2016 2 Antwren, Koepcke’s Screech Owl, Yellow-faced Parrotlet, Grey-bellied Comet and 3 species of Inca Finch. We also found more widely distributed, but always special, species like Andean Condor, King Vulture, Agami Heron and Long-tailed Potoo on what was a very successful tour. Top 10 Birds 1. Marañón Crescentchest 2. Spotted Rail 3. Stygian Owl 4. Ash-throated Antwren 5. Stripe-headed Antpitta 6. Ochre-fronted Antpitta 7. Grey-bellied Comet 8. Long-tailed Potoo 9. Jelski’s Chat-Tyrant 10. = Chestnut-backed Thornbird, Yellow-breasted Brush Finch You know it has been a good tour when neither Marvellous Spatuletail nor Long-whiskered Owlet make the top 10 of birds seen! Day 1: 4 September: Pacific coast and Chaparri Upon meeting, we headed straight towards the coast and birded the fields near Monsefue, quickly finding Coastal Miner. Our main quarry proved trickier and we had to scan a lot of fields before eventually finding a distant flock of Tawny-throated Dotterel; we walked closer, getting nice looks at a flock of 24 of the near-endemic pallidus subspecies of this cracking shorebird.

Sus más de 1800 especies de aves, 120 de las cuales son endémicas, convierten al Perú en el segundo país en el mundo con la mayor diversidad de avifauna. EAsimismo, el Viceministerio de Turismo en concordancia con el Plan Estratégico Nacional de Turismo – PENTUR, viene trabajando el desarrollo de nichos de mercado que contribuyan a la diversificación de la oferta turística actual a través de la creación y gestión de destinos y productos turísticos sostenibles. En ese esfuerzo, y en base a la investigación realizada se ha identificado en la observación de aves un producto que consolida una nueva oferta turística del Perú. La iniciativa de impulsar la oferta de observación de aves en el Perú se enfoca en la Ruta de Aves del Norte del Perú, una ruta que en su integridad une a ocho regiones de la llamada macroregión nor amazónica, que a su paso atraviesa imponentes muestras del legado arqueológico, como también excepcionales escenarios naturales, mucho de los cuales se encuentran en espacios protegidos.
