Rock View Area Birdlist Rock View Lodge Bird List Bird Lovers "The river boat trip was an outstanding experience. Super birding in the forest. We'll be back!" Brian and Dee Keating (Civilised Adventures of Calgary Zoo) Rock View has become a favourite location for bird watchers from North America and Europe. Exciting bird lists have been prepared for the villages of Annai and Surama as well as for the Canopy Walkway and the Iwokrama Field Station and the Iwokrama rainforest reserve. Visitors can see for themselves how the distribution of birds varies from savannah to mountain, river and rainforest. Enthusiasts will be able to have the thrill of being able to add to these lists for future visitors and bird lovers. More recently the Moura road has shown great promiss due its interesting range of habitats. Here is a list of bird species observed for Annai (savannah, mountains and river), Surama (savannah, mountains, river and rainforest) and the Iwokrama rainforest also known as the International Iwokrama Rainforest Programme for Research and Development with mountains, rivers and mainly rainforest. These lists are never complete as new species are being added to from time to time. Through the invaluable USAID programme to promote the birding potential of Guyana we are now able to offer birders these updated bird lists close to Rock View in this composite listing below.

  • Ultimate Bolivia Tour Report 2019
    Titicaca Flightless Grebe. Swimming in what exactly? Not the reed-fringed azure lake, that’s for sure (Eustace Barnes) BOLIVIA 8 – 29 SEPTEMBER / 4 OCTOBER 2019 LEADER: EUSTACE BARNES Bolivia, indeed, THE land of parrots as no other, but Cotingas as well and an astonishing variety of those much-loved subfusc and generally elusive denizens of complex uneven surfaces. Over 700 on this tour now! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com Blue-throated Macaws hoping we would clear off and leave them alone (Eustace Barnes) Hopefully, now we hear of colourful endemic macaws, raucous prolific birdlife and innumerable elusive endemic denizens of verdant bromeliad festooned cloud-forests, vast expanses of rainforest, endless marshlands and Chaco woodlands, each ringing to the chorus of a diverse endemic avifauna instead of bleak, freezing landscapes occupied by impoverished unhappy peasants. 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com That is the flowery prose, but Bolivia IS that great destination. The tour is no longer a series of endless dusty journeys punctuated with miserable truck-stop hotels where you are presented with greasy deep-fried chicken and a sticky pile of glutinous rice every day. The roads are generally good, the hotels are either good or at least characterful (in a good way) and the food rather better than you might find in the UK. The latter perhaps not saying very much. Palkachupe Cotinga in the early morning light brooding young near Apolo (Eustace Barnes). That said, Bolivia has work to do too, as its association with that hapless loser, Che Guevara, corruption, dust and drug smuggling still leaves the country struggling to sell itself.

  • Bolivia Lowlands and Highlands
    BOLIVIA LOWLANDS AND HIGHLANDS PARTICIPANTS: Sally Weiner, Sharon Lynn, Alice Deutsch, Builder Levy, Keelin Mary Miller and Neal Bruce Miller. Tour Leader: Lelis Navarrete 17 December – 31 December /2010. Red-tailed Comet By Lelis Navarrete Dec 17. The group arrived to Viru Viru airport (8:50 AM) and after a quick breakfast at the terminal building. We had a partially successful visit to the habitats near the airport and PM visit to the Lomas de Arena Regional Park. Some of the best birds of the day included Red- winged Tinamou, Peach-fronted Parakeet, Chotoy Spinetail and Rufous-rumped Seedeater, Dec 18. Early morning visit to Santa Cruz Botanical Gardens. We had some troubles trying to organize the visit the previous days for nobody was answering the gardens office phone. We arrive at the gardens and no guard was in sight. We open the gate ourselves and enter to bird, closing the gate behind us. The staff working at the gardens knows about our birding activities and they had no troubles with us getting in early hours, even before the gardens open, for we always pay our fee in our way out. In the afternoon we drove from Santa Cruz to Refugio Los Volcanes. Once in Refugio Los Volcanes we were able to do some birding before the sunset. Some of the highlights for the day were Planalto Hermit, White-wedged Piculet, Gray-throated Leaftosser, Plain-crowned Spinetail , Black-banded Woodcreeper, Bolivian Slaty-Antshrike, Black-capped Antwren, Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher, Yellow-breasted Flycatcher, Fuscous Flycatcher, Rufous Casiornis, Hooded Tanager, Red-crested Cardinal , Black-goggled Tanager and Dusky-green Oropendola.

  • Spatuletails, Owlet Lodge & More 2018
    Field Guides Tour Report Peru's Magnetic North: Spatuletails, Owlet Lodge & More 2018 Jun 23, 2018 to Jul 5, 2018 Dan Lane & Jesse Fagan For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The name of this tour highlights a few of the spectacular birds that make their homes in Peru's northern regions, and we saw these, and many more! This might have been called the "Antpittas and More" tour, since we had such great views of several of these formerly hard-to-see species. This Ochre-fronted Antpitta was one; she put on a fantastic display for us! Photo by participant Linda Rudolph. The eastern foothills of Andes of northern Peru are one of those special places on the planet… especially if you’re a fan of birds! The region is characterized by pockets of white sand forest at higher elevations than elsewhere in most of western South America. This translates into endemism, and hence our interest in the region! Of course, the region is famous for the award-winning Marvelous Spatuletail, which is actually not related to the white sand phenomenon, but rather to the Utcubamba valley and its rainshadow habitats (an arm of the dry Marañon valley region of endemism). The white sand endemics actually span areas on both sides of the Marañon valley and include several species described to science only since about 1976! The most famous of this collection is the diminutive Long-whiskered Owlet (described 1977), but also includes Cinnamon Screech-Owl (described 1986), Royal Sunangel (described 1979), Cinnamon-breasted Tody-Tyrant (described 1979), Lulu’s Tody-Flycatcher (described 2001), Chestnut Antpitta (described 1987), Ochre-fronted Antpitta (described 1983), and Bar-winged Wood-Wren (described 1977).

    Field Guides Tour Report Peru's Magnetic North: Spatuletails, Owlet Lodge & More 2015 Jul 22, 2015 to Aug 2, 2015 Dan Lane & Pepe Rojas For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The Rufous-crested Coquette is always a crowd-pleaser. Photo by participant Tim Skillin. As is becoming increasingly obvious, the El Niño of 2015-6 is shaping up to be a bad one! This has affected weather globally, which certainly has been obvious in Peru. On the Pacific coast, the usually cool, overcast weather has been warmer and sunnier. Meanwhile, on the Amazonian slope of the Andes, the May-to-September dry season has been marked by considerably more precipitation than normal. We witnessed this first hand but, happily, it didn't make birding in San Martin impossible; we just had to have some patience. And the birding in the Peruvian departments of San Martin and Amazonas was incredible! On our first day, driving from Tarapoto to Moyobamba, we enjoyed the Oilbird cave under the highway and some open-country birds that are rather rare and local in Peru (and not much easier to see elsewhere!), such as Cinereous-breasted Spinetail, Masked Duck, and Black-billed Seed-Finch. Our next day, we continued to enjoy the interesting avifauna of the unique Mayo Valley, where there are influences of Amazonian rainforest (Green- backed Trogon, Scaly-breasted Wren, Peruvian Warbling-Antbird, and Fiery-capped Manakin), the drier cerrado of Bolivia and Brazil (Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant, Little Nightjar, and Pale-breasted Thrush), and one or two elements all its own (the undescribed "Striped" Manakin).

  • NB25-SLS-Schulenberg
    >> SPLITS, LUMPS AND SHUFFLES Splits, lumps and shuffles Thomas S. Schulenberg This series focuses on recent taxonomic proposals – descriptions of new taxa, splits, lumps or reorganisations – that are likely to be of greatest interest to birders. This latest instalment includes: the possible lumps of Scale-breasted Woodpecker and South Georgia Pipit; a split in Red-billed Woodcreeper; a split in Highland Elaenia, and yet another possible lump in White-crested Elaenia; and a too-early-to-call-for-a-split-but-keep-an-eye-on-it study of Correndera Pipit. Sayonara, Scale-breasted There has been some grumbling over the years that a subspecies of Waved (amacurensis, of Woodpecker? northeastern Venezuela) perhaps belongs instead cale-breasted Woodpecker Celeus with Scale-breasted (Short 1982), and reports that grammicus and Waved Woodpecker C. not only were their vocalisations indistinguishable S undatus are two similar species that replace (Ridgely & Greenfield 2001), but even that each each other geographically, occupying respectively responded to playback of calls of the other (Restall the western and eastern portions of Amazonia. et al. 2006). Nonetheless the species status of the 2 1 3 Just lookalikes or the same species? 1 Scale-breasted Woodpecker Celeus grammicus, Iranduba, Amazonas, Brazil, September 2013 (Anselmo d’Affonseca); 2–3 Waved Woodpecker C. undatus, both Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil: 2 November 2011 (Anselmo d’Affonseca), 3 May 2017 (Tomaz Nascimento de Melo; 8 lattes.cnpq.br/0736734315806511). The absence of diagnostic vocal, plumage, or genetic differences between the two all seems to lead to the conclusion that there is one fewer species of woodpecker in the world.

The tiny Long-whiskered Owlet took silver in the tour's "Bird of the TRip" competition. Photo by guide Jesse Fagan. This year’s tour was a great one for many reasons: being able to co-lead with my good buddy Jesse, the Motmot; having some great food supplied by the chef and crew brought along by Cajamarca Travel; a great group of folks; and some fantastic birding! This tour simply can’t be beat for the diversity of birds -- and perhaps has more species which were described in the last 40 years than any other tour we run! The tour spawned a lot of favorites from the group, with two predictable species topping the list: our flagship species, Marvelous Spatuletail, was number one (although, it was pointed out, only referring to “Spat” and not to the slightly less impressive “No-spat”), with the other very special bird, Long-whiskered Owlet as a very close silver medalist. Enjoying a view of a very patient owlet just before the rain started was a great way to end the day! Bronze medalists were the Oilbird, which we enjoyed viewing in their slot canyon along the highway as we drove back to Tarapoto. After that, the list of favorites tails off slowly… Hummingbirds figured large in the list of favorites, with the ornate Rufous-crested Coquette and the attractive Gould’s Jewelfront heading the list.

  • 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.

And, as I was enjoying the view from the plane’s window, I was wondering how to start an introductory paragraph highlighting the best experiences and birds of our Manu Biosphere Reserve tour. I found it to be a difficult task, not only because we came across an impressive number of habitats, but also because we saw so many wonderful birds! As I was still on that international flight, it didn’t take me long to figure out that I should, instead, divide this Field Report into four major areas and describe the amazing experiences and wonderful birds we enjoyed in each one. With that in mind, here we go! THE HIGH ANDES – PUNA Once we landed in Cusco, and after a wonderful breakfast, our tour started in the Huarcapay Lagoon, where 3 individuals of the rarely encountered Chilean Flamingo were observed. Here, we also saw Puna, Yellow-billed and Cinnamon teals, Spot-winged Pigeon, a vocal Plumbeous Rail, the beautiful White-tufted Grebe, several Andean Gulls, the secretive Rusty-fronted Canastero (endemic to Peru), and the Rufous-naped Ground-Tyrant, which is easily camouflaged by its gravel color.

    Field Guides Tour Report Southwestern Ecuador Specialties: Jocotoco Foundation Reserves 2018 Mar 4, 2018 to Mar 18, 2018 Willy Perez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. These White-headed Brushfinches are related to the Pale-headed Brushfinches we saw. Although they are not real colorful, these are handsome little birds, and we got some good looks at them. Photo by guide Willy Perez. It was another fantastic Southern Ecuador Specialties tour! The name describes the main point of this tour, which is to find very restricted species, especially from the Tumbesian zone. We also looked for some Choco endemics that occur in Buenaventura, and even some Ecuadorian endemics. We were very busy on this tour, starting in the city of Guayaquil where we birded the edges of the western part of the city. We then went on to the super comfortable Jocotoco lodges and reserves. The lodges are spot on, just in the middle of the reserves and close to the birding areas. They have developed great settings, with feeders for some rare species like the Jocotoco Antpitta, nests for El Oro Parakeet and hummingbird feeders. All of this made life easy for us on the tour. The weather was dryer than It should be at this time of the year, but It was all good for us, as we went to the places that we needed with no problems. There were a lot of highlights on this tour, some species were easier than others to spot but that is the way it is, and is also part of the game.

  • Ornithological Observations from Reserva Natural Tambito, Cauca, South-West Colombia
    Ornithological observations from Reserva Natural Tambito, Cauca, south-west Colombia Thomas M. Donegan and Liliana M. Dávalos Cotinga 12 (1999): 48–55 Este artículo busca describir la avifauna de la Reserva Natural Tambito, una importante reserva con instalaciones para ecoturismo e investigación. También rendimos un sentido homenaje a Alvaro Negret—cuya trágica muerte en Agosto de 1998 representa una pérdida considerable a la ornitología y la conservación en Colombia. Alvaro proveyó los fondos, tiempo y energía para establecer la Fundación Proselva y la Reserva Natural Tambito, excelente localidad para estudio y observación de aves en Colombia. Introduction This paper seeks to portray the avifauna of an important nature reserve with facilities for ecotourists and researchers, and to pay tribute to Alvaro Negret—whose tragic death in August 1998 was a considerable loss to ornithology and conservation in Colombia. Alvaro provided the funds, time and energy to establish Fundación Proselva and Reserva Natural Tambito, which is an excellent research station and birding site. Reserva Natural Tambito is located 50 km west of Popayán on the Pacific slope of the Cordillera Occidental, in dpto. Cauca, Colombia, at c.02°30'N 77°00'W. It is adjacent to Parque Nacional Natural (PNN) Munchique, and encompasses c.3,000 ha. of very humid premontane forest and very humid lower montane forest8,9, at 1,200–2,400 m. The northern Andes features the most complex topography in South America that supports an extremely wide variety of ecosystems and high levels of endemism16. For example, Colourful Puffleg Eriocnemis mirabilis has, to date, only been recorded within a few hundred metres of the type locality within PNN Munchique2.
