Tropical Birding Tour Report Brazil: The Pantanal, Serra das Araras, and Chapada dos Guimarães 14 – 23 October 2012 Leader: Nick Athanas Photos and report by Nick Athanas The Harpy Eagles did not disappoint! Tour summary with bird and mammal lists 2012 was a good year for Harpy Eagles in Brazil. Two pairs successfully nested in easily accessible spots near well known lodges. One of those nests, in the Serra das Araras, was only a few hours from the Pantanal, so easily combined with that famous wildlife destination. This custom tour was put together with exactly those two things in mind. We spend six days in the Pantanal before heading up to see the Harpy Eagles, then wrapped up the trip in the scenic (and thankfully slightly cooler!) Chapada dos Guimarães, where we added a number of very neat birds of the scrubby cerrado habitat. We had a fun group of eight friends from Maryland and Washington DC, two of whom had never been to South America before. Maybe they got a bit spoiled with two Harpy Eagles (including an adult right next to the bus), half of the continent’s macaws, some of the best woodpeckers Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 1 around, ridiculously easy Sunbitterns , huge numbers of waterbirds in the Pantanal, and tons of other neat birds like Red-legged Seriema , Bare-faced Curassow , White-eared Puffbird , Toco Toucan , Great Rufous Woodcreeper , Rufous-winged Antshrike , Helmeted Manakin , White-rumped Tanager , and Scarlet-headed Blackbird . We started the trip with three nights in Pousada Piuval on the northern edge of the Pantanal. Despite being right on the edge, it’s my favorite of all the Pantanal lodges, and I also think it has the best birding due to the great variety of habitats that can easily be visited – daily bird lists of well over 100 are easily possible. We spent time walking, riding in a safari truck, and even just driving the bus over the open fields or back out onto the nearby Transpantanal Highway. Gorgeous blue Hyacinth Macaws (seen daily here) were the most memorable birds, but a few others to mention include herds of Greater Rhea (including dozens of chicks), Chestnut-bellied Guan , Whistling Heron , Plumbeous Ibis , Aplomado Falcon , Sunbittern , Red-legged Seriema , Long-tailed Ground-Dove , Nanday Parakeet , Yellow- collared Macaw (perched for a change!), Ash-colored Cuckoo , Chestnut-eared Aracari , White , Pale-crested , and Cream-colored Woodpeckers , Chotoy Spinetail , Rufous Cacholote , Great Rufous Woodcreeper , Mato Grosso Antbird , Black-backed Water-Tyrant , Dull-capped Attila , Green-backed Becard , Moustached Wren , Masked Gnatcatcher , Yellowish Pipit (doing display flights), Rusty-collared Seedeater , Red-crested Cardinal , Saffron-billed Sparrow , Scarlet-headed Blackbird , and Orange-backed Troupial . A juvenile male Dark-throated Seedeater was a nice surprise, and also my only lifer of the trip. Subtropical Doradito was also unexpected and not even in the field guide, but it turns out there have been several other recent records for the Pantanal. Leaving Piuval, we continued south to Santa Tereza lodge for another two nights. This lodge is located on the edge of the Rio Pixaim, which snakes its way through dense gallery forest. We spent our afternoons birding the river by boat, and the mornings working the open areas and gallery forest. The low water levels and dense water hyacinth made the river trips here more difficult than normal, but they were still fun. The much-wanted Sungrebe was seen well, while handsome Black-collared Hawks and hulking Jabirus patrolled the edges of the river, sometimes looking for handouts (our boatman obliged). Loads of herons , egrets , and kingfishers were around every bend, and we had our best views of Bare-faced Ibis and Bare-faced Curassow here too. Birding the pastures and entrance road got us a few White-bellied Seedeaters and the pretty Rusty-backed Antwren , while the shady gallery forest had a different set of birds like Band-tailed Antbird , Buff-breasted Wren , Flavescent Warbler , Forest Elaenia , Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant , Fuscous Flycatcher , and Ashy-headed Greenlet , not to mention some very friendly troops of Black-striped Capuchins. Feeders attracted a horde of ravenous birds including a pair of Toco Toucans , and a night walk even got us a Brazilian Tapir at close range as well as a Great Horned Owl . Driving north out of the Pantanal, we reached the Serra das Araras, a low mountain range with more of an Amazonian feel to it. We spent two nights in the pleasant Currupira Lodge. It was full of ladies doing a week-long health spa getaway, but we were far more interested in the Harpy Eagle nest than doing aerobics by the pool. It didn’t take long; the local guide spotted an adult Harpy close to the bus a few minutes after heading out on the first afternoon. It flew to a more distant tree, but perched in the open face on, allowing terrific views in the scope. We did continue on to the nest, and saw the almost fully grown chick munching on what may have been bits of armadillo. Having seen the Harpy so well, we were able to concentrate on other birds for the rest of the stay. Maybe it was the hot and dry weather, but the birding was a bit tough here, with the cicadas singing much louder than the birds, even very early in the morning. There were some nice things to see, but we found it slower than expected. Here’s a list of some of the birds we saw here: Gray-headed and Rufous-thighed Kites , Dusky-headed Parakeet , Red-shouldered Macaw , Black-tailed and Green-backed Trogons , Amazonian Motmot , Brown Jacamar , Lettered Aracari , Channel-billed Toucan , Red-stained and Green-barred Woodpeckers , Lineated Woodcreeper , Amazonian Antshrike , White-backed Fire-eye , Black- throated Antbird , Bare-necked Fruitcrow , and Black-crowned and Masked Tityras . Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 2 The scenic Chapada dos Guimarães, with its red sandstone cliffs, is at an elevation of only around 3000 ft, but it was enough to cool down the hot weather by a few degrees. We spent the last two nights in the comfy Pousada Penhasco near the edge of the escarpment. Their opulent restaurant was only open once during our stay, but we took advantage of it, not just for the great food, but also the very friendly Helmeted Manakin that is always around. The lodge also has a nice trail that goes down to some viewing platforms over the edge of the cliffs, and we did that one afternoon to enjoy the view and the birds. A big flock of Sooty Swifts was quite a surprise, as it was the first time I had seen them here, and we enjoyed a pair of Red-and-green Macaws perched then flying along the base of the cliffs. Other birds around included Green-winged Saltator , Planalto Hermit , Swallow Tanager , White-lined Tanager , and Chestnut-bellied Seed-Finch . As far as birding goes, the main reason to visit this area is the cerrado , a type of scrubby tropical savanna found over large parts of interior Brazil. Much of it has been cleared for agriculture, but there are some well preserved patches on the Chapada which can offer great birding. Blue-winged Macaw , Horned Sungem , White-vented Violetear , White-eared Puffbird , Rufous-winged Antshrike , Chapada Flycatcher , Plain-crested Elaenia , Black-faced , White-banded , and White-rumped Tanagers , Black-throated Saltator , and Plumbeous Seedeater all gave themselves up on those dusty roads in the cerrado . During hotter parts of the day, we sought shade in gallery forest, where we found a few species we hadn’t seen in the Pantanal such as White- bellied Warbler , Red-necked Woodpecker , Cocoa Thrush , Streaked Xenops , and even a Sharp- tailed Streamcreeper . After one last morning, it sadly was time to pack up and head back to Cuiabá for our afternoon flights home. It was a great trip and I hope we can do it again sometime! Here are a few of my photos from the trip. Bob also put some of his shots up on Flickr at this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joesboy/sets/72157631846307137/ A Black-collared Hawk perches on a dock near the edge of the lake at Piuval Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 3 A pair of Southern Screamers at the edge of little pond at Piuval Rufous-bellied Thrush is very common, the “robin” of the Pantanal Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 4 One of a family of Thrush-like Wrens that were right next to the canopy tower at Piuval This huge Ringed Kingfisher ruled over a little pond near the lodge at Piuval Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 5 The Brown-chested Martins around Pousada Piuval are so tame you can walk right up to them A Rufescent Tiger-Heron stalks around near the lodge Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 6 This Southern Caracara landed right next to us, obviously looking for a handout An Aplomado Falcon prepares to take off Tropical Birding www.tropicalbirding.com 7 A Cocoi Heron seen from one of the boat rides on the Pixaim River Nowhere else can Sunbittern be seen so easily!

    Studies in Avian Biology No. 19:272-280, 1999. SEASONAL MOVEMENTS AND CONSERVATION OF SEEDEATERS OF THE GENUS SPOROPHZIA IN SOUTH AMERICA Jose MARIA CARDOSO DA SILVA Abstract. Small seed-eating finches of the genus Sporophila, commonly called seedeaters, are among the most characteristic elements of South Americas’ grassland avifauna. Twenty-three species of Spa- rophila seedeaters were classified into three groups according to their seasonal movements. Fourteen species make long-distance movements between at least two major ecological regions in South Amer- ica, four species make intermediate to long-distance movements within a single ecological region, and five species make short-distance movements between adjacent habitats. The grasslands in the Cerrado region seem to be the most important wintering sites for most of the long-distance migrant Sporophila. Mapping the ranges of all threatened or near-threatened Sporophila species identified seven critical areas between southern coastal Colombia and southernmost Brazil. Creating reserves in these seven areas would protect at least one population of 23 Sporophilu species. Mapping the ranges of all species and well-marked subspecies with restricted ranges (350,000 square kilometers or less) identified nine critical areas (five of which were also identified by mapping threatened or near-threatened species) between northern South America and southernmost Brazil. Creating reserves in these nine areas would protect populations of 29 species or well-defined subspecies of Sporophila.The conservation of South American grasslands needs urgent action. The areas identified here are important grassland habitats that should be priority areas for organizations and agencies interested in grassland conservation.

In northern Argentinean Patagonia, Buff-necked Ibis (Theristicuscaudatus) nest on different substrata:cliffs, trees, and marsh vegetation. According to the ideal-free distribution hypothesis,this polymorphism may be due to the occupationofthe bestbreeding habitats by dominant individuals and the relegation of the subdominant birds to marginal substratawith a lower probability of achieving successfulbreeding. We investigatedwhether there were any variations in the breeding performance among colonies and whether these variations were related to the breeding substratum.Laying date varied from the third week of September to the last week of October, laying occurring earlier in colonies at lower elevations. Clutch size per colony varied between 1.8 and 2.0 (X 1.9, n = 106), but significant differences were not detected among colonies. Brood size per colony varied significantly, rangingbetween 1.3 and 2.0 (52= 1.8, n = 164). The substratumof breedingdid not influence variations in any of these three parameters. The physical condition of the chicks did not vary among substrata,but there was inter-colony variation in broods of two chicks.

  • 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.

    THE WILSON BULLETIN A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 116, NO. 4December 2004 PAGES 287±397 Wilson Bulletin 116(4):287±292, 2004 ORNAMENTAL PLUME DEVELOPMENT AND THE ``PREALTERNATE MOLTS'' OF HERONS AND EGRETS PETER PYLE1,3 AND STEVE N. G. HOWELL2 ABSTRACT.ÐTo investigate molts and ornamental-plume development in herons and egrets, we examined 448 specimens of 10 North American species. We found no evidence for a prealternate molt, despite widespread opinion that such a molt occurs and includes the ornamental plumes. Our data indicate that these plumes emerge during the later stages of the de®nitive prebasic molt in August±November, grow slowly through January± February, and are retained until replacement during the following prebasic molt. The preformative (traditionally termed ``®rst-prebasic'') molt shows substantial variation in extent. In 91.9% of 86 ®rst-year individuals collected between November and May, this molt included the development of ornamental plumes that were similar in form, but shorter in length, than those of adults. Male Great Blue (Ardea herodias) and Little Blue (Egretta caerulea) herons developed longer ornamental plumes than females, presumably a result of sexual-selection strategies. Received 9 February 2004, accepted 28 September 2004. Herons and egrets (Tribe Ardeini) are wide- nate molt requires the activation of follicles ly regarded as having two plumages per more than once during the molt cycle (Hum- yearÐa ``non-breeding'' or basic plumage in phrey and Parkes 1959). In north-temperate fall and winter, and a ``breeding'' or alternate herons and egrets, therefore, an early spring plumage in spring and summer (Palmer 1962, molt (additional to the annual prebasic molt) Cramp 1977, Hancock and Kushlan 1984, has been presumed, involving the replacement Marchant and Higgins 1990, Voisin 1991).

    Tropical Birding Trip Report Brazil: The Pantanal and Amazon, July 2015 BRAZIL: The Pantanal and Amazon 1-15 July 2015 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos, except for the Blue Finch, by Nick Athanas. Thanks to Mark Gawn for sharing his Blue Finch photo Bare-eyed Antbird was one of many highlights from this fun trip From the unparalleled biodiversity of the primeval Amazonian forest to the amazing abundance of wildlife in the Pantanal, this tour is always fascinating and great fun, and the superb lodges and tasty food make it especially enjoyable. This year was wetter than normal and we even got soaked once in the Pantanal, which is almost unheard of in July; the extra water definitely helped the overall bird numbers, so I certainly was not complaining, and it was still pretty darn dry compared to most South American tours. When I asked the group at the end of the trip for favorite sightings, everyone mentioned something totally different. There were so many memorable sightings that trying to pick one, or even a few, was almost futile. Some that were mentioned, in no real order, included: superb close-ups of Bare-eyed Antbirds at an antswarm at Cristalino (photo above); the “ginormous” Yellow Anaconda we saw crossing the Transpantanal Highway on our last full day, the minute and fabulous Horned Sungem from the Chapada, a superb encounter with the rare White-browed Hawk from one of the towers at Cristalino, our very successful hunt for the newly-described Alta Floresta Antpitta, and last but far from least, the magnificent Jaguar we saw for an extended period of time along the banks of the Três Irmãos River.

  • 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.

  • HONEYGUIDE BRAZIL – Jaguars, Jabirus & Other Jewels of Pantanal’S Wildlife Unique Itinerary with a Full Circle Cruise in the Pantanal by Ecotours
    HONEYGUIDE BRAZIL – Jaguars, Jabirus & other Jewels of Pantanal’s Wildlife Unique itinerary with a full circle cruise in the Pantanal by Ecotours with PANTANAL BRAZIL TRIP REPORT - 22October-3November 2017 The following is a detailed Trip Report of the first Honeyguide Pantanal, Brazil tour which was organized and led by Gabor and Andrea, owners of Ecotours & Kondor Ecolodge Ltd. This holiday, as for every Honeyguide holiday, also puts something into conservation in our host country by way of a contribution to the wildlife that we enjoyed. With the holiday’s conservation contributions plus gift aid Honeyguide sent £300 to SAVE Brasil, the BirdLife partner in Brazil. This gives us a running total for all conservation contributions through Honeyguide of £119,322 from 1991 to 2017. We had 6 regular Honeyguiders on the tour (Maria Jose, Julia, Gill, Barbara, Jo and Mundi), joined by Flo and Everard to make it a perfectly sized group. Beside Gabor and Andrea we had several local guides to help find wildlife: Marcos at Transpantaneria, Max and Juliano on the boat and Ric amused everybody with his excellent photos duirng the whole tour. Most of the tour companies spend a few days alongside the Transpantaneria road and pay a quick visit to the nearest, always busy Jaguar watching sites close to Porto Jofre, but almost nobody does a full circle on the huge River system in the Southern Pantanal.
