    WILD PATAGONIA & CENTRAL CHILE: PUMAS, PENGUINS, CONDORS & MORE! NOVEMBER 1–18, 2019 Pumas simply rock! This year we enjoyed 9 different cats! Observing the antics of lovely Amber here and her impressive family of four cubs was certainly the highlight in Torres del Paine National Park — Photo: Andrew Whittaker LEADERS: ANDREW WHITTAKER & FERNANDO DIAZ LIST COMPILED BY: ANDREW WHITTAKER VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM Sensational, phenomenal, outstanding Chile—no superlatives can ever adequately describe the amazing wildlife spectacles we enjoyed on this year’s tour to this breathtaking and friendly country! Stupendous world-class scenery abounded with a non-stop array of exciting and easy birding, fantastic endemics, and super mega Patagonian specialties. Also, as I promised from day one, everyone fell in love with Chile’s incredible array of large and colorful tapaculos; we enjoyed stellar views of all of the country’s 8 known species. Always enigmatic and confiding, the cute Chucao Tapaculo is in the Top 5 — Photo: Andrew Whittaker However, the icing on the cake of our tour was not birds but our simply amazing Puma encounters. Yet again we had another series of truly fabulous moments, even beating our previous record of 8 Pumas on the last day when I encountered a further 2 young Pumas on our way out of the park, making it an incredible 9 different Pumas! Our Puma sightings take some beating, as they have stood for the last three years at 6, 7, and 8. For sure none of us will ever forget the magical 45 minutes spent observing Amber meeting up with her four 1- year-old cubs as they joyfully greeted her return.

  • The Generic Distinction of Pied Woodpeckers
    THE GENERIC DISTINCTION OF PIED WOODPECKERS M. RALPH BROWNING, 170 JacksonCreek Drive, Jacksonville,Oregon 97530 ABSTRACT: The ten speciesof New World four-toedwoodpeckers (scalaris, nuttallii, pubescens, villosus, stricklandi, arizonae, borealis, albolarvatus, lignarius,and m ixtusand the two borealthree-toed species (arcticus and tridactylus), currentlycombined in the genusPicoides, differ, in additionto the numberof toes,in modificationsof the skull,ribs, the belly of the pubo-ischio-femoralismuscle, head plumage,and behavior. I recommendthat the genericname Dryobates be reinstituted for the New World four-toedwoodpeckers. There are three generalmorphological groups of pied woodpeckers,a groupof nine four-toedspecies of the New World, a groupof 22 four-toed speciesof the Old World, and a groupof two three-toedspecies straddling bothregions. ! referto thesegroups of piedwoodpeckers beyond as the New World,Old World,and three-toedgroups. The three-toedspecies have long beenin the genusPicoides Lac•p•de, 1799, but the four-toedgroups have been combinedat the genericlevel in differentways. All four-toedpied woodpeckerswere long includedin the genusDryobates Boie, 1826, later changed to Dendrocopos Koch, 1816 an earlier name (Voous 1947, A.O.U. 1947, Peters 1948). Despite the differencein number of toes, Dendrocoposwas combined with Picoidesbecause of generalsimilarities in anatomy (Delacour 1951, Short 1971a), plumage and behavior (Short 1974a), and vocalizations(Winkler and Short 1978). The A.O.U (1976) followedthis mergerof the genera.On the basisof skeletalcharacters Rea (1983) was skepticalof the merger,but he did not providedetails. On the otherhand, Ouellet(1977), concludingthat the two generadiffer in external morphologyand some behaviors and vocalizations, separated the Old World four-toedwoodpeckers in Dendrocoposand three-toedand New World four-toedwoodpeckers in Picoides.The A.O.U.

  • Foraging Behavior of Plain-Mantled Tit-Spinetail (Leptasthenura Aegithaloides) in Semiarid Matorral, North-Central Chile
    ORNITOLOGIA NEOTROPICAL 22: 247–256, 2011 © The Neotropical Ornithological Society FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF PLAIN-MANTLED TIT-SPINETAIL (LEPTASTHENURA AEGITHALOIDES) IN SEMIARID MATORRAL, NORTH-CENTRAL CHILE Andrew Engilis Jr. & Douglas A. Kelt Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology - University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen. – Comportamiento de forrajeo del tijeral (Leptasthenura aegithaloides) en matorral semiárido, centro-norte de Chile. – Hemos estudiado el comportamiento de forrajeo del tijeral (Leptas- thenura aegithaloides) en el matorral del centro-norte de Chile. Se trata de una especie de la familia Fur- nariidae que es insectívora recolectora desde perchas. Frecuenta los arbustos más dominantes y busca presas y alimentos principalmente en el follaje, grupos de flores, pequeñas ramas y masas de líquenes. Los arbustos preferidos incluyen a Porlieria y Baccharis. Se alimentan desde alturas cercanas al suelo hasta arbustos superiores a dos metros de altura. Se los encuentra más frecuentemente en parejas o en grupos pequeños, posiblemente familias, de tres a cinco aves. Las densidades promedio en el matorral (1,49 - 1,69 aves por hectárea) son mayores que las reportadas para otros lugares. Los tijerales en el matorral forman grupos de especies mixtas con facilidad, especialmente en el invierno Austral. Su estrategia de forrajeo y su comportamiento son similares a las del Mito sastrecillo de América del Norte (Psaltriparus minimus) y del Mito común (Aegithalos caudatus), ambos de la familia Aegithalidae, sugir- iendo estrategias ecológicas convergentes en ambientes estructuralmente similares. Abstract. – We studied foraging behavior of Plain-mantled Tit-spinetail (Leptasthenura aegithaloides) in matorral (scrubland) habitat of north-central Chile.

  • Which Birds Can't Fly? a List of Birds That Are Flightless
    Which Birds Can't Fly? A List of Birds That Are Flightless worldatlas.com/articles/flightless-birds-from-around-the-world.html May 17, 2016 An Australian Emu posing for the camera. Below we have listed a few notable flightless birds, though obviously not all of these largely land-restricted avian species. Other notable flightless bird species include emus, rheas, certain teals and scrubfowls, grebes, cormorants, and various rails, just to name a few. Cassowary 1/11 The flightless birds of Papua New Guinea, northeastern Australia, and some other islands of Oceania, the cassowaries are quite well known for their fierce reputation. Though they cannot fly they can definitely scare away their enemies with their violent nature and hidden claws. Many human and animal deaths have been reported to be caused by these birds. The birds are omnivorous in nature, feeding on fruits, fungi, insects and other species. Among the three species of cassowary, the southern cassowary is the third tallest bird in the world and is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to its steadily decreasing numbers. Kakapo 2/11 The kakapo, a unique species of flightless parrot, is endemic to New Zealand and is almost on the verge of extinction, classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. The fact that kakapos are nocturnal in nature, flightless and do not exhibit any male parental care, makes them different from other parrots of the world. They are also the heaviest among the parrots and exhibit the lek system of mating. For years these birds have been hunted by the Maori tribes of New Zealand for meat and feathers.

  • IGUAZU FALLS Extension 1-15 December 2016
    Tropical Birding Trip Report NW Argentina & Iguazu Falls: December 2016 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour NW ARGENTINA: High Andes, Yungas and Monte Desert and IGUAZU FALLS Extension 1-15 December 2016 TOUR LEADER: ANDRES VASQUEZ (All Photos by Andres Vasquez) A combination of breathtaking landscapes and stunning birds are what define this tour. Clockwise from bottom left: Cerro de los 7 Colores in the Humahuaca Valley, a World Heritage Site; Wedge-tailed Hillstar at Yavi; Ochre-collared Piculet on the Iguazu Falls Extension; and one of the innumerable angles of one of the World’s-must-visit destinations, Iguazu Falls. www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.1 Tropical Birding Trip Report NW Argentina & Iguazu Falls: December 2016 Introduction: This is the only tour that I guide where I feel that the scenery is as impressive (or even surpasses) the birds themselves. This is not to say that the birds are dull on this tour, far from it. Some of the avian highlights included wonderfully jeweled hummingbirds like Wedge-tailed Hillstar and Red-tailed Comet; getting EXCELLENT views of 4 Tinamou species of, (a rare thing on all South American tours except this one); nearly 20 species of ducks, geese and swans, with highlights being repeated views of Torrent Ducks, the rare and oddly, parasitic Black-headed Duck, the beautiful Rosy-billed Pochard, and the mountain-dwelling Andean Goose. And we should not forget other popular bird features like 3 species of Flamingos on one lake, 11 species of Woodpeckers, including the hulking Cream-backed, colorful Yellow-fronted and minuscule Ochre-collared Piculet on the extension to Iguazu Falls.
