From the Choco to Amazonia 2019 the Tour Good views of the endemic Cundinamarca Antpitta was a trip highlight. (Trevor Ellery) COLOMBIA: FROM THE CHOCO TO AMAZONIA 18 NOVEMBER ̶ 10/15 DECEMBER 2019 LEADER: TREVOR ELLERY This tour was once again designed to visit the parts of Colombia that most other tours don’t reach. It involved a fair amount of travel and some complicated logistics (including events such as strikes and aborted landings, which were completely out of our control). It felt at times as if we took in every nook and cranny of Colombia, as we ranged widely from north to south and from east to west. Such a comprehensive and ambitious tour was bound to produce a large list and we logged 692 species. More important was the huge wealth of species, which were not just specialities but were also rare, localised or simply poorly known. Highlights were many and included superb views of the enigmatic Recurve-billed Bushbird (despite a lost day due to a national strike), at its Colombian stronghold. The moment a gang of the endemic Mountain Grackles swarmed around us, in the unique Oak forests high above the arid Chicamocha Canyon, will also stay long in the memory. Those same oak forests provided jaw dropping views of the charismatic White-throated Screech Owl, to add to the Cinnamon Screech, Choco Screech, Crested, Spectacled and Mottled Owls we had already seen on 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Colombia from the Choco to Amazonia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com the tour. Paujil reserve served up its usual magic, with an unbelievable nine Blue-billed Curassow’s visiting the feeders. The trails there also played host to Black Antshrike, Bare-crowned Antbird, Russet-winged Schiffornis and Black-billed Flycatcher. The Coffee plantations below the Cerulean Warbler reserve are always productive and we found Double-banded Greytail, Beautiful Woodpecker, White-eared Conebill and a stunning Yellow- browed Shrike-Vireo. The main reserve and its environs also kept us busy with Turquoise Dacnis, Niceforo’s Wren, White-mantled Barbet, Magdalena Tapaculo and both Undulated and White-bellied Antpittas. Further mouth-watering species we found on the main tour included Yellow-headed and White-bibbed Manakins, Magdalena, Parker´s, Jet, White-bellied, Spotted and Klages’s Antbirds, Yellow-headed, Black-headed, Ochre-breasted and Moustached Brushfinches, Chestnut-capped Piha, Red-bellied Grackle, Humboldt’s Sapphire, Apical Flycatcher, Chestnut-bellied, Green-bellied, Indigo-capped and Tooth-billed Hummingbirds Blue-whiskered, Scarlet-browed and Scarlet-and-white Tanagers, Sooty Ant Tanager, Spot-crowned Barbet, Bronze-tailed Thornbill, Brown-breasted Parakeet, Rose-faced Parrot, Northern Screamer, Green-tailed Goldenthroat, Golden-bellied and Blue-throated Starfrontlets, Dwarf Cuckoo, Dusky Pigeon, Tolima Dove, Bogota Rail, Black-and-chestnut Eagle, Black and Black-and-white Hawk-Eagles, Tody Motmot, Brown and Red-billed Scythebills, Silvery-throated Spinetail, Stiles’s and Pale-bellied Tapaculos, Cundinamarca Antpitta, Velvet-fronted Euphonia, Grey-throated Warbler, Noble Snipe, Semiplumbeous and Plumbeous Hawks and Lanceolated Monklet! The Mitu extension was also an intense birding experience and we managed to locate most of the specialities of this increasingly popular destination. Both Grey-bellied and Chestnut-crested Antbirds involved some hard work but showed well. Azure-naped Jays were especially obliging, as was a gaudy male Guianan Cock-of-the rock. We picked up further Manakins with Yellow-crested and Black Manakins and Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin, all being seen on the same memorable morning. Fiery Topaz were watched hawking for insects, Citron-bellied Attila eventually showed well and we also enjoyed Bronzy, Paradise and Great Jacamars. Further highlights included Plumbeous Euphonia, White-crested Spadebill, Orinoco Piculet, Collared Puffbird, Rusty-breasted Nunlet, Pompadour Cotinga, Blackish-grey Antshrike, Cherrie´s and Spot-backed Antwrens, Pavonine Quetzal, Tawny-tufted Toucanet, Point-tailed Palmcreeper, Cinnamon Neopipo, Brown-headed Greenlet, Black-collared Swallow, White-bellied Dacnis and Amazonian Inezia. Perhaps best of all was the amazing views of a Bar-bellied Woodcreeper, species number 8000 for one of the tour participants. Our tour started with an early morning visit to the windswept Paramo above Guasca. We quickly found our main target, the near endemic Bronze-tailed Thornbill, with an adult perching up in the early morning sun. While searching for the Thornbill we added a few commoner species including Grass Wren, Pale-naped Brushfinch, Black-crested Warbler and Brown-backed Chat-Tyrant. We did not linger however and we soon dropped down to an area of temperate forest, where we were fortunate to quickly locate our second main target, a group of noisy but endemic Brown-breasted Parakeets. They gave fantastic views in flight, showing off their dazzling wing pattern and were also scoped more distantly. Having seen both these key species early, we were able to indulge in some more general birding. A Black-billed Mountain Toucan perched in a nearby tree, while some time working on the skulkers produced good views of the near endemic Pale-bellied Tapaculo and a Rufous Antpitta (of a vocally distinct race). Brown-bellied Swallows hawked overhead and mixed flocks held Golden-fronted Whitestarts, Black-headed Hemispingus, Pearled Treerunner and White-banded, White- throated and Black-capped Tyrannulets. A group of bold and noisy Rufous Wren’s scolded us, Green-and- black Fruiteaters flitted across the trail and some furtive Andean Guans moved through. Further diligent searching produced Longuemare’s Sunangel, Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant, Andean Siskin, Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanager, Fawn-breasted, Beryl-spangled and Blue-and-black Tanagers and a delightful Blue-backed Conebill. We also logged no less than five species of Flowerpiercer with Glossy, Black, White-sided, Bluish and Masked all being seen. A nearby pool held a group of Andean Teal and a quick road side stop produced a pair of the endemic Silvery-throated Spinetail. The late afternoon was spent at a pleasant hummingbird garden where we enjoyed the dazzling, near-endemic, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, along with both Black-tailed and Green-tailed Trainbearer. Commoner species included Glowing Puffleg, both Lesser and Sparkling Violetear, Great Sapphirewing, Tyrian Metaltail and plentiful White-bellied Woodstars It proved to be a great introduction to the huge hummingbird diversity that can be found in Colombia. The second day was spent visiting Monteredondo. This site lies close to the main road that runs from Bogota down into the Llanos plains of Eastern Colombia. A huge landslide had completely shut the road for months before our visit but it had reopened just before the start of the tour. It took us five hours to actually reach the site but by mid-morning we were quickly enjoying good views of the localised Ochre-breasted Brushfinch. We then managed to find our main goal, a pair of the elusive and endemic Cundinamarca Antpitta. After some gentle coaxing almost all the group enjoyed views of this enigmatic species and the leader even managed to obtain a photo. Despite some intermittent and at times very thick fog we did manage to find a few other species including a pair of furtive Black-collared Jays. A group of Northern Mountain Caciques were bold and 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Colombia from the Choco to Amazonia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com pugnacious and a Tyrannine Woodcreeper showed well. A small mixed flock held Streaked Tuftedcheek, Common Bush Tanager and a couple of Cinnamon Flycatchers. With further construction at the base of the road threatening to leave us trapped, we decided to head to lower elevations earlier than normal. As we descended we made an impromptu stop, to take in a majestic soaring Black-and-chestnut Eagle, a real bonus. Once past the cement crews we searched the secondary habitat and quickly found the localised Green-bellied Hummingbird. Flocks were more plentiful here and we picked up a plethora of commoner species, including White-vented Plumeleteer, a pair of Red-headed Barbets, Golden-faced Tyrannulet, Scrub Greenlet, a nice group of Inca Jays, both Pale-breasted and Black-billed Thrushes, Tropical Parula, American Redstart, Blackpoll, Black-and-white and Canada Warblers, Magpie, Speckled and Blue-necked Tanagers, Purple Honeycreeper and Grey Seedeater. We then made the fairly long trek back to Bogota. Our third day basically became a travel day. A national strike had been called in Colombia and rather than early morning birding in Bogota, we thought it wise to head straight to the airport. As we sat watching protestors shut down roads across the city, it certainly seemed the right decision. Our flight to Bucaramanga was uneventful but soon after arrival it became apparent that all roads leading to our next destination were being blocked and we had to retire to a nearby town for the afternoon. With large protests planned throughout the city of Bucaramanga, we were confined to barracks, so to speak, and after an early dinner we settled down for and early night. Our only brief birding during the day and mainly from the car produced Red-crowned Woodpecker and Fork-tailed Flycatcher. We enjoyed fantastic views of the incomparable Recurve-billed Bushbird. (TE). We escaped from Bucaramanga very early the next morning and most were champing at the bit to get birding. It was still quite a long drive to the Bushbird Reserve but the roadside marshes produced Wattled Jacana, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Bare-faced Ibis, Cocoi and Little Blue Herons, Snowy Egret and White-winged Swallow. A quick roadside stop added Brown-throated Parakeet, Cattle Tyrant, Bicolored Wren, Carib Grackle, Shiny Cowbird and most surprisingly, a single Orange-crowned Oriole. By mid-morning we had finished our journey along the valley, climbed back into the eastern Andes and were soon on the trails. We first found an obliging pair of Klages’s Antbirds and then, after a little searching, located a vocal pair of Bushbirds.

  • Nature Colombia Trip Report - Eastern Andes & Mid-Magdalena´S Valley 2018
    www.naturecolombia.com EASTERN ANDES & MID-MAGDALENA´S VALLEY 3rd March – 8th March 2018 Sword-billed Hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) is characterized by its unusually long bill size; it is the only bird to have a beak longer than the length of its body. As all the pictures in this report, this picture was taken during this trip, in the Hummingbird Observatory Reserve - Bogotá. Nature Colombia Tour Leader: Roger Rodriguez Ardila 2 Nature Colombia Trip Report - Eastern Andes & Mid-Magdalena´s Valley 2018 Colombia is famed for its extraordinary diversity of birds. Thanks to its wide variety of landscapes and climates, Colombia is a megadiverse country with some of the highest biodiversity on the planet. Regardless of size, Colombia holds almost 20% of all birds in the planet (1,944 species, with new species still being discovered). Robert Holt, Lynne and I traveled together for 5 days, visiting some birding sites in the Eastern Andes and the Mid-Magdalena´s Valley looking for some endemic and special birds of this areas. In overall the trip was fast paced, designed to visit as much birding sites as we could of these two very different kind of environments. That also forced us to be in the car for long hours most of the days. We recorded 235 species (47 families), including 11 endemic bird species and 7 near-endemics. This was in spite of the complicated conditions mentioned before.

    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

  • A New Tapaculo Related to Scytalopus Rodriguezi from Serranía De Los Yariguíes, Colombia
    Thomas M. Donegan et al. 256 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) A new tapaculo related to Scytalopus rodriguezi from Serranía de los Yariguíes, Colombia by Thomas M. Donegan, Jorge E. Avendaño & Frank Lambert Received 15 February 2013 Summary.―Upper Magdalena Tapaculo Scytalopus rodriguezi was described (in 2005) as restricted to the headwaters of the Magdalena Valley in dpto. Huila, Colombia. Here we describe a new but related taxon from the Serranía de los Yariguíes, dpto. Santander, Colombia, c.580 km to the north, which difers in its darker dorsal coloration, shorter tail, smaller body, lower mass and lower pitched song with reduced frequency bandwidth in its notes. Scytalopus tapaculos are small, primarily montane suboscines that inhabit the understorey of Neotropical forests. Species limits within the genus are problematic because of the morphological homogeneity of diferent populations, which masks a rich diversity, only detected in recent decades via vocal and genetic studies. Since vocalisations are believed to be innate and distinctive among genetically divergent Scytalopus species, and vocal diferentiation tracks molecular diferentiation more so than morphology (Arctander & Fjeldså 1994), the number of recognised species of Scytalopus has increased dramatically from ten in the mid 1990s to more than 40 today (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997; see also, e.g., Krabbe & Schulenberg 2003, Krabbe & Cadena 2010, Hosner et al. 2013). Four new Scytalopus taxa have been described from Colombia since the late 1990s: Chocó Tapaculo S. chocoensis (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997), Upper Magdalena Tapaculo S. rodriguezi (Krabbe et al. 2005), Stiles’ Tapaculo S. stilesi (Cuervo et al. 2005) and a subspecies of Pale-bellied Tapaculo S.

Ocellated Tapaculo 6. Blue-and-yellow Macaw 2. Rainbow-bearded Thornbill 7. Red-ruffed Fruitcrow 3. Multicolored Tanager 8. Sungrebe 4. Fiery Topaz 9. Buffy Helmetcrest 5. Sword-billed Hummingbird 10. White-capped Dipper Tour Summary This was one again a fantastic trip across the length and breadth of the world’s birdiest nation. Highlights were many and included everything from the flashy Fiery Topazes and Guianan Cock-of- the-Rocks of the Mitu lowlands to the spectacular Rainbow-bearded Thornbills and Buffy Helmetcrests of the windswept highlands. In between, we visited just about every type of habitat that it is possible to bird in Colombia and shared many special moments: the diminutive Lanceolated Monklet that perched above us as we sheltered from the rain at the Piha Reserve, the showy Ochre-breasted Antpitta we stumbled across at an antswarm at Las Tangaras Reserve, the Ocellated Tapaculo (voted bird of the trip) that paraded in front of us at Rio Blanco, and the male Vermilion Cardinal, in all his crimson glory, that we enjoyed in the Guajira desert on the final morning of the trip. If you like seeing lots of birds, lots of specialities, lots of endemics and enjoy birding in some of the most stunning scenery on earth, then this trip is pretty unbeatable.

  • Ecological Report April 2017 Inkaterra Association
    ECOLOGICAL REPORT APRIL 2017 INKATERRA ASSOCIATION I. POINT COUNTS REPORT 1.1. SAMPLING ÁREA: Inkaterra Guides Field Station - Palmetum 1.2. DATE: April 06th, 2017 1.3. STARTING HOUR: 5:35 h CLOSING HOUR: 7:25 h 1.4. PARTICIPANTS: Noe Huaraca y Andreina Méndez 1.5. OBJECTIVES: 1.5.1 To complement bird wildlife diversity monitoring by including canopy and underbrush forest bird species of Inkaterra Guides Field Station. 1.5.2 To establish the registered bird species' abundance parameters patterns. 1.5.3 To understand the differences between bird wildlife compositions according by its habitat. 1.6. METODOLOGÍA: The Point Count method (Ralph et al., 1995; Ralph, 1996; MINAM, 2015) was employed, which consists in staying at a point station for 10 minutes, while recording all the birds seen and heard. The distance between points is 150 meters. This month, the evaluation was performed at the trail way depicted by Image 1. Inkaterra Guides Field Station Palmetum Image 1. Sampling area and Point Counts map 1.7. RESULTS: 8 point stations were evaluated, where 64 subjects were registered, all belonging to 19 Families and 11 Orders. All registered subjects indicated a richness of 46 species. The richest Order was Passeriformes with 21 species and 7 families (Thamnophilidae, Cotingidae, Formicariidae, Furnariidae, Icteridae, Trogloditydae y Tyrannidae), next were Psittaciformes (macaws, parrots and perakeet) with 6 species and 1 family, Galbuliformes (jacamar), and finally, Columbiformes (pigeons) with 4 species and 1 family per each one. Among the bird species registered, the most relatively abundant were parrots; the Pionus menstruus species (Blue headed Parrot) showed the highest number of subjects registered while flying (n=11), all spotted at counting point 2 (n=7) and counting point 3 (n=4).
