  • FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Costa Rica: Birding the Edges
    Field Guides Tour Report Costa Rica: Birding the Edges Part I, the Deep South 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 19, 2014 Jay VanderGaast & Jim Zook For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. What a great way to start off the New Year: a brand new tour in a gorgeous tropical country with no threat of snow, frost, or all those other winter annoyances! This is a tour that I had long wanted to get going, so I was really pleased at the initial response to it, and even more pleased that it went so well. In my opinion, this was an excellent inaugural run of this trip, and it looks like a keeper that I'm excited about doing again in the coming years. Beginning on our way south, we eased into the birding, with a stop for the locally restricted Sedge Wren, adding a bunch of other familiar North American species like Merlin, White-tailed Kite, Mourning Dove, and Eastern Meadowlark. With that brief warmup completed, we dove straight into the "real" Costa Rican birding with a couple of stunning Resplendent Quetzals stealing the show, and a bunch of other highland specialties to really whet our appetites. Volcano Hummingbird, Black- capped Flycatcher, Yellow-winged Vireo, Flame-throated Warbler, Collared Redstart, an unexpected pair of the highly irruptive Peg-billed Finches, and angry- eyed Volcano Juncos were just some of the specialties that crossed our paths that first day, not bad for what was essentially a travel day to get us to our main destinations! Next morning, a pre-breakfast walk around the grounds of our well-placed local hotel gave us our first taste of some of the southern specialties we were here to find, including our first of many Olivaceous Piculets, and a pair of gaudy Fiery-billed Aracaris.

Lelevier, B.S. I) r (y Ly Fairbanks, Alaska n4 t t # August 2008 WOSC/fNCfJ UBHARY-UAF ABSTRACT The three chapters presented in this thesis use molecular markers to examine the evolutionary history of three groups of widespread Neotropical birds. In chapter one, I found that Amazilia tzacatl forms a monophyletic clade and exhibits four genetic clades: Atlantic and Pacific slopes of Middle America, South America, and Isla Coiba. The Escudo Hummingbird (A. t. handleyi) is probably not a full biological species. Specimens from the eastern Darien province of Panama suggest that individuals from Middle and South America colonized this area within the past 25 years. In chapter two, I recovered an unresolved polytomy between Henicorhina leucosticta and its purported sister species, H. leucoptera.

Schulze1 [email protected] 1 Departmento de Ecología Poblacional, Centro Facultad de Biodiversidad, Universidad de Viena, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Viena, Austria Resumen El 15 de diciembre de 2008 se observaron un macho y una hembra de manguito de veragua (Anthracothorax veraguensis) en la Estación Experimental Tropical La Gamba (en las cercanías de Golfi to), en las tierras bajas del Pacífi co sur de Costa Rica. En esa misma ubicación, se pudieron observar posteriormente y hasta el 26 de febrero de 2009, por lo menos dos hembras que visitaban las fl ores de un árbol de Erythrina gibbosa. Nuevamente, fueron vistos un macho y una hembra desde diciembre de 2009 hasta febrero de 2010. Esta especie de colibrí fue incluida en la Lista Ofi cial de Aves de Costa Rica en noviembre de 2009. En este artículo se resumen y documentan las primeras observaciones y registros de esta especie de colibrí mediante fotografías y descripciones detalladas de los individuos observados..

    PANAMA: FALL AT EL VALLE’S CANOPY LODGE OCTOBER 7–14, 2017 Tody Motmot, El Valle, Panama, October 9, 2017, Barry Zimmer LEADERS: BARRY ZIMMER & DANILO RODRIGUEZ LIST COMPILED BY: BARRY ZIMMER VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM FALL AT EL VALLE’S CANOPY LODGE OCTOBER 7–14, 2017 By Barry Zimmer Late in the afternoon of our first full day at the Canopy Lodge, we ventured out on the Cara Iguana Trail. We were in search of roosting Spectacled Owls that often frequent the area. A narrow path through the forest led us in the direction that the owls had been seen recently. Suddenly though, we were distracted by the whistled notes of a Tody Motmot penetrating the thick vegetation. Within moments we had spotted a pair of these highly sought and tiny motmots at eye level no more than fifteen feet away. (Somewhat amazingly, we would tally four motmot species for the day—the rarely achieved “motmot slam.”) After enjoying lengthy scope views of the Tody Motmot, we walked on. A short distance away the owls were found—two adults and a mostly grown juvenile bird roosting side by side. This is certainly one of the most spectacular owls in the world, and our views were breathtaking. We soaked up the owls for several minutes before turning back for the road. We had walked no more than 50 feet when the loud, rich song of a Rosy Thrush-Tanager cut loose from the thicket behind us. This skulking but spectacular species is typically much easier to hear than see.

Unión de Ornitólogos de Costa Rica 11695-1000 San José, Costa Rica [email protected] www.uniondeornitologos.com Autores: Luis Sandoval y César Sánchez Citación recomendada Sandoval, L. y C. Sánchez. 2017. Lista de aves de Costa Rica: vigésima quinta actualización. Unión de Ornitólogos de Costa Rica. San José, Costa Rica. Presentación Presentamos la vigésima quinta actualización de la Lista de Aves de Costa Rica, la cual hemos publicada desde octubre de 2010. Esta es la lista oficial de la Unión de Ornitólogos de Costa Rica la cual incluye un total de 920 especies de aves para el país. Este número representa la mayor abundancia de aves para el país hasta el día de hoy. Esta lista incluye todos los registros históricos y actuales, convirtiéndose en la lista más completa y actualizada de Costa Rica. La taxonomía utilizada en esta lista sigue la clasificación publicada por el Comité de Clasificación y Nomenclatura (Norte y Centro América) de la American Ornitologists’ Union (http://www.aou.org/committees/nacc/). En casos donde una especie no ha sido observada en Norte y Centro América, seguímos la clasificación del Comité Suramericano de Clasificación (SACC; http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html). Además, en el caso específico de una única especie, reconocemos a Colinus leucopogon como una especie diferente de C. cristatus, basados en diferencias morfológicas y de canto. Elaboramos la lista en un formato de Lista de Registro o Check-list, para facilitar su uso como una herramienta de registro de sus observaciones.
