  • 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.

  • Eastern Venezuela
    Rufous Crab Hawk (Eustace Barnes). EASTERN VENEZUELA 10 – 26 APRIL / 2 MAY 2016 LEADER: EUSTACE BARNES A spectacularly diverse biological haven; Venezuela is one of the most exciting destinations for birders although not one without its problems. Extending the tour to explore remote sites including the other-worldly summit of Mount Roraima makes for what is, the most adventurous and rewarding tour to this fascinating region. We had a record breaking tour with more of the endemics found than on any previous tour, finding 40 of the 42 possible Tepui endemics, while in the north-east we recorded all the endemics. This was helped in no small way by having such a committed group. We had difficulties in the Orinoco delta as we could not access the sites and, in the three years, since Birdquest was last in Venezuela the traditional rainforest sites have been destroyed making that element of the tour very difficult. This should make this document something of an interesting historical record. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Eastern Venezuela. www.birdquest-tours.com Maguari Stork (left) and Orinocan Saltator (right) (Eustace Barnes(left) and Gary Matson(right)). Having arrived in Puerto Ordaz and enjoyed a restful night in a very plush hotel we were set to cross the Llanos de Monagas en route to Irapa on the Paria peninsula. We headed to the Rio Orinoco for our first stop just before the river. As we worked our way through the dusty scrub we quickly turned up a number of Orinocan Saltators which we watched awhile while taping in our first Yellow Orioles, Ochre-lored Flatbill, Tropical Gnatcatcher, Fuscous Flycatcher and numerous Bananaquits.

  • Procnias Albus (White Bellbird)
    UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Procnias albus (White Bellbird) Family: Cotingidae (Bellbirds and Cotingas) Order: Passeriformes (Perching Birds) Class: Aves (Birds) Fig. 1. White bellbird, Procnias albus. [http://www.hbw.com/ibc/species/white-bellbird-procnias-albus, downloaded 1 March 2017] TRAITS. The name white bellbird refers to the adult male, as the females and the young males are olive (yellow-greenish) in colour (Schulenberg, 2010). Its wing span ranges from 153-159 mm, its bill culmen (upper ridge) is 18.2-19.9mm, nostril to tip 9-12mm, and its tail 93-97mm (Roth et al., 1984). The female has been reported to be slightly smaller than the male, while bill size across its geographic distribution depends on adaptation to food and other factors. The wattle, a horn-like structure on its head, is long, inflatable and covered in small white feathers and falls vertically downwards from its beak (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2001; Animalia Life, 2016). Only the males have wattles (Fig. 1). DISTRIBUTION. The white bellbird is a bird of South America (Fig. 2). It ranges from Brazil (Para) to French Guiana and Venezuela (Birdlife International, 2017). It is a rare visitor to Trinidad and Tobago. There have been reports of two sightings at the Asa Wright Nature Centre in recent years according to the tour guide. UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. These birds are usually found high in the canopy, in forested hills approximately 500-750m above sea level (Roth et al., 1984).

Behavioural data indicate that, unlike other suboscine passerines, the three-wattled bellbird Procnias tricarunculata (Cotingidae) is capable of vocal learning. Procnias tricarunculata shows conspicuous vocal ontogeny, striking geographical variation in song, and rapid temporal change in song within a population. Deprivation studies of vocal development in P. tricarunculata are impractical. Here, we report evidence from mitochondrial DNA sequences and nuclear microsatellite loci that genetic variation within and among the four allopatric breeding populations of P. tricarunculata is not congruent with variation in vocal behaviour.

INTRODUCTION This publication presents a comprehensive list of the birds of Guyana with summary information on their habitats, biogeographical affinities, migratory behavior and abundance, in a format suitable for use in the field. It should facilitate field identification, especially when used in conjunction with an illustrated work such as Birds of Venezuela (Hilty 2003).

  • SPLITS, LUMPS and SHUFFLES Splits, Lumps and Shuffles Alexander C
    >> SPLITS, LUMPS AND SHUFFLES Splits, lumps and shuffles Alexander C. Lees Black Tinamou Tinamus (o.) osgoodi, San Pedro, Manu Road, Cusco dept., Peru, June 2004 (Dan Lane), one of very few field photos of this taxon. This series focuses on recent taxonomic proposals—be they entirely new species, splits, lumps or reorganisations—that are likely to be of greatest interest to birders. This latest instalment is replete with novelties, headlined by a new (and likely recently-extinct) treehunter, a new tapaculo (!), two new subspecies of Foothill Eleania and splits galore looking at Sedge Wrens, Blossomcrowns, McConnell’s Flycatchers, validation of species status for Socorro Warbler and Scaled Ground-cuckoo and huge revisions of rails, cotingas and vireos. Get your lists out! Black Tinamou systematics generic placement but genetic data routes it firmly in Tinamus despite its phenotypic resemblance to The Black Tinamou Tinamus osgoodi is a rare, very the smaller Crypturellus tinamous. In an effort to poorly known and disjunctly distributed denizen of Andean forests; two subspecies are recognised test the magnitude of differences between the two subspecies—T. o. hershkovitzi of south-central Black Tinamou taxa, Negret and Laverde-R (2015) and northern Ecuador and T. o. osgoodi of south- compiled range and climate data to model the east Peru. Its taxonomy has been the subject of distribution and undertook vocal analyses to test previous speculation and debate, including even its for taxon-specific vocal differences.
