    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.

    White- Whiskered Puffbird Malacoptila Panamensis, a New Species for Peru

    Cotinga31-090608:Cotinga 6/8/2009 2:39 PM Page 136 Cotinga 31 Short Communications Vicki King, I discovered two pairs of White-whiskered Puffbird Malacoptila panamensis in the Tumbes Reserved Zone, north- west Peru (03º49’S 80º15’W). The first pair was found at 07h30, c.1 km from the INRENA station ‘El Caucho’ towards Campo Verde. The first bird was perched for c.10 minutes, and had an obvious orange lower throat; only the upper breast was coarsely streaked, whilst the belly, head and upperparts were unstreaked. It was immediately clear that I had never seen the species before and that it was possibly new for Peru. Subsequently— using Ridgely & Greenfield2—I identified the bird as a female M. panamensis. JK took some photographs. The bird flew c.30 m whereupon a second bird, more rufous on the upperparts (thus a male), joined it. To our surprise we found another pair at c.10h30, halfway between Las Naranjas and Pozo del Pato. The female was 3–4 m away, before perching again 10 m away. JK also photographed this bird. Photographs of both birds have been archived at VIREO, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, USA. In Ecuador, White- whiskered Puffbird is rather widespread in the lowlands and foothills west of the Andes. Overall, its range extends from western Colombia south through Ecuador, to prov. El Oro2, almost as far as the border with Peru. The only other vaguely similar Bucconidae that occurs west of the Andes in Ecuador is Barred Puffbird Nystalus radiatus, which was also recently discovered in Peru1.

Avenida Lomas de Arena, Casilla 3566, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Abstract We surveyed the Serrania Sadiri for birds at elevations between 500-950m for a combined total of 15 days in three different months. The area surveyed was along the Tumupasa/San Jose de Uchupiamones trail at the edge of Parque Nacional Madidi in Depto. La Paz, Bolivia. We report observations of 231 species of birds detected by sight and sound, including many outlying ridge specialists. We report and present photographs of a new species for Depto. La Paz (Caprimulgis nigrescens), the second Bolivian localities for Porphyrolaema prophyrolaema, Zimerius cinereicapillus, and Basileuterus chrysogaster, and five new species records for Parque Nacional Madidi. Introduction Foothills and outlying ridges of the Andes are From the small village of Tumupasa (14°8'46" S, often very difficult or impossible to access. As a 67°53'17" W; 400 m a.s.l; Figures 1 and 2), an old result, many of the specialist bird species in these trail leads generally southwest over the Serrania areas are poorly known and some only recently Sadiri to the town of San Jose de Uchupiamones described, and these areas generally have unique (14°12'47" S, 68°03'14" W; 520 m a.s.l).

    f y/ EVIDENCE FOR A POLYPHYLETIC ORIGIN OF THE PICIFORMES STORRS L. OLSON National Museum of Natural Histojy, Smithsonian ¡nstitiiiion, Washington, D.C. 20560 USA ABSTRACT.•Despite two recent anatomical studies to the contrary, the order Piciformes appears to be polyphyletic. The structure of the zygodactyl foot in the Galbulae is very distinct from that in the Pici, and no unique shared derived characters of the tarsometatarsus have been demonstrated for these two taxa, The supposedly three-headed origin of M. flexor hallucis longus shared by the Galbulae and Pici is doubtfully homologous between the two groups, leaving only the Type VI deep flexor tendons as defining the order Piciformes. This condition is probably a convergent similarity. Evidence is presented supporting a close relationship between the Galbulae and the suborder Coracii and between the Pici and the Passeriformes. There are fewer character conflicts with this hypothesis than with the hy- pothesis that the Piciformes are monophyletic. Problems concerning fossil taxa are also addressed. Received 24 September 1981, accepted 15 May 1982. A MONOPHYLETIC origin of the Piciformes with outside groups in a manner indicating that appears to have gained support from the si- the zygodactyl condition in cuckoos, parrots, multaneous appearance of two cladistic, ana- and Piciformes had arisen independently, tomical papers (Swierczewski and Raikow 1981, through convergence. Simpson and Cracraft 1981) that concur in the Although I certainly do not advocate a traditional concept of the order•a concept that monophyletic origin of zygodactyl birds, the has prevailed at least since the time of Gadow arguments that Simpson and Cracraft (1981) and (1893).

    Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands

    MANAUS, BRAZIL: AMAZON RAINFOREST & RIVER ISLANDS OCTOBER 8-21, 2020 ©2019 The Brazilian city of Manaus is nestled deep in the heart of the incomparable Amazon rainforest, the greatest avian-rich ecosystem on the planet! This colorful, bustling city is perfectly positioned at the junction of the world’s two mightiest rivers, the Amazon and Rio Negro, where vast quantities of the warm, black water of the Negro collide with immense volumes of cooler, silt-laden whitewater of the Amazon flowing down from the Andes. The two rivers flow side-by-side for kilometers before completely mixing (due to the major difference in temperature), forming the famous “wedding of the waters” where two species of freshwater dolphins are regularly seen, including the legendary Pink River Dolphin (males reaching 185 kilograms (408 lbs.) and 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.) in length). A male Guianan Cock-of-the-rock on a lek has to be one of the world’s most spectacular birds. © Andrew Whittaker Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands, Page 2 The Amazon and its immense waterways have formed many natural biogeographical barriers to countless birds and animals, allowing for heightened speciation over countless millions of years. The result is a legion of distinctly different yet sibling species found on opposite river banks. Prime examples on this trip include Gilded versus Black-spotted barbets, Amazonian versus Guianan trogon, Black-necked versus Guianan red-cotinga, White-browed versus Dusky purpletufts, White-necked versus Guianan puffbird, Orange-cheeked versus Caica parrots, White-cheeked versus Rufous-throated antbird, and Rufous-bellied versus Golden-sided euphonia, etc., thus making Manaus a perfect base for the exploration of the exotic mega rich avifauna of the unique heart of Amazonia.

Despite the traffic and immense number of trucks and buses, Leonardo, our driver, was one of the best and most efficient I’ve ever had in negotiating Colombian roads and traffic. We began birding at Laguna Tabacal, a quiet (during weekdays) rural lake and wooded area about an hour and a half west of Bogotá and at considerably lower elevation. This is an excellent place for an introduction to commoner Colombia birds of lower montane elevations. Among these were flycatchers, wrens, and several kinds of tanagers, as well as such specialties as Moustached Puffbird and Speckle-breasted Wren, and later a blizzard of hummingbirds at the Jardín Encantado, before returning to Bogotá. We followed this opening day with visits to two high elevation sites, first Chingaza National Park and then to Sumapaz National Park. Both sites are floristically unique, landscapes all or mostly above treeline, and in many ways so otherwordly as to be beyond description.
