  • Rainfall Correlates of Bird Population Fluctuations in a Puerto Rican Dry Forest: a Nine Year Study
    WilsonBull., 96(4), 1984,pp. 575-593 RAINFALL CORRELATES OF BIRD POPULATION FLUCTUATIONS IN A PUERTO RICAN DRY FOREST: A NINE YEAR STUDY JOHN FAABORG, WAYNE J. ARENDT, AND MARK S. KAISER Long-term studies on the population dynamics of Neotropical bird communities have been primarily limited to Panama (see Karr et al. [ 19821 for a mainland site and Willis [1974] for Barro Colorado Island). An earlier paper (Faaborg 1982a) contained the first long-term population measurements from a West Indian island, specifically a seasonally-dry forest site in southwest Puerto Rico. This Syear study apparently spanned a population peak followed by drought conditions and a severe population decline. The effects of drought on total populations, membership in dif- ferent foraging guilds, and winter resident densities were discussed. We have continued these studies and here report on 9 years of banding and population monitoring activities in a single location. This allows us to expand our previous observations on relationships between rainfall patterns and population traits of guilds and species and expose the data to statistical analyses. We also document the attempted invasion of a new species (Elaenia martinica) into the Guanica Forest bird community. The possible meaning of these observations in terms of island equilibrium theory (MacArthur and Wilson 1967), long-term climatic patterns (Pregill and Olson 198 l), and community structure studies (Faaborg 1982b) is discussed. STUDY AREA AND METHODS This study was done in seasonallydry scrubin the Guanica Forest of southwesternPuerto Rico (see Terborgh and Faaborg [1973] for detailed habitat description with photographs). This habitat occurs on a coraline limestone and contains sclerophyllousforest typical of such sites throughout the West Indies (Beard 1949).

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.

  • TAS Trinidad and Tobago Birding Tour June 14-24, 2012 Brian Rapoza, Tour Leader
    TAS Trinidad and Tobago Birding Tour June 14-24, 2012 Brian Rapoza, Tour Leader This past June 14-24, a group of nine birders and photographers (TAS President Joe Barros, along with Kathy Burkhart, Ann Wiley, Barbara and Ted Center, Nancy and Bruce Moreland and Lori and Tony Pasko) joined me for Tropical Audubon’s birding tour to Trinidad and Tobago. We were also joined by Mark Lopez, a turtle-monitoring colleague of Ann’s, for the first four days of the tour. The islands, which I first visited in 2008, are located between Venezuela and Grenada, at the southern end of the Lesser Antilles, and are home to a distinctly South American avifauna, with over 470 species recorded. The avifauna is sometimes referred to as a Whitman’s sampler of tropical birding, in that most neotropical bird families are represented on the islands by at least one species, but never by an overwhelming number, making for an ideal introduction for birders with limited experience in the tropics. The bird list includes two endemics, the critically endangered Trinidad Piping Guan and the beautiful yet considerably more common Trinidad Motmot; we would see both during our tour. Upon our arrival in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago’s capital, we were met by the father and son team of Roodal and Dave Ramlal, our drivers and bird guides during our stay in Trinidad. Ruddy Ground-Dove, Gray- breasted Martin, White-winged Swallow and Carib Grackle were among the first birds encountered around the airport. We were immediately driven to Asa Wright Nature Centre, in the Arima Valley of Trinidad’s Northern Range, our base of operations for the first seven nights of our tour.

  • Estero Llano Bird Checklist
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE BIRDS OF ESTERO LLANO GRANDE S T A T E P A R K WORLD BIRDING CENTER A FIELD CHECKLIST 2007 Cover: Illustration of Belted, Green and Ringed Kingfishers by Clemente Guzman. May 2007 INTRODUCTION stero Llano Grande State Park, the Weslaco wing of the World Birding Center, encompasses approximately 200 acres of E restored wetlands and subtropical thorn-scrub forest. The park is located in the heart of the subtropical Lower Rio Grande Valley, a four-county area that has unmatched biotic diversity, documenting 512 species of birds, over 300 species of butterflies and over 1,100 species of plants. Estero Llano Grande State Park is seated at the geographic center of the World Birding Center network and is the site with the largest wetlands environment. This former agricultural field has been re­ stored to thriving wetlands and flourishing woodlands through cooperative efforts from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the World Birding Center, the City of Weslaco and Ducks Unlimited. Since its opening in June 2006, Estero Llano Grande State Park has documented over 247 species of birds with an additional 41 species likely to occur within the park. Many of these birds are subtropical species typical of eastern Mexico and are not found north of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Some of the characteristic species of the park include Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Fulvous Whistling-Duck, Plain Chachalaca, Least Grebe, Neotropic Cormorant, Roseate Spoonbill, Wood Stork, Black-necked Stilt, Red-crowned Parrot, Groove-billed Ani, Green Kingfisher, Great Kiskadee, Green Jay and Altamira Oriole.
