Rainforest & Savanna ‐ Alta Floresta & the Pantanal Field Guides Tour Report Rainforest & Savanna ‐ Alta Floresta & the Pantanal, Brazil 2014 Apr 26, 2014 to May 12, 2014 Marcelo Padua For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Our Alta Floresta and Pantanal tour has always been a hit, and the reason is quite simple: excellent venues, comfortable lodging, and fantastic birding. But this year's tour came with an interesting twist as we changed the dates of this trip to avoid the FIFA World Cup, which was to take place in Brazil during the usual time frame of our tour. So we started the tour earlier and closer to the end of the rainy season. Although there was clearly more water than normal, it had very little impact, and the birding was as it always is -- spectacular. We started things at Chapada where we connected with a Dot-eared Coquette and saw more Coal-crested Finches than we could count, both of which are migrants and are not normally expected. Another surprise was a Spotted Nothura, which we saw on a recently harvested field - - it's a bird that is rare in the area and has not been recorded around Chapada for a while. The usual suspects like Chapada Flycatcher, White-rumped Tanager, White-banded Tanager, and Black-throated Saltator were also present, making our short stay there worth every minute. Our next stop was Cristalino Jungle Lodge, where the river had reached record-high levels this year but had receded just enough to leave the trails clear for our group, This allowed us to make good use of the great trail system from the lodge and to enjoy time at both towers. It is hard to highlight just a bird or two here, but the subadult Harpy Eagle that landed practically above our group and allowed prolonged scope views and the Crested Eagle that we only saw due to the rains one night before we left the lodge both deserve an honorable mention. What a treat! The Pantanal was -- as it always is -- smooth sailing, with woodpeckers galore, Hyacinth Macaws, and Jabirus. How can we go wrong? The answer is simple, we just can't. Thanks for joining the tour, and I hope to see you in the field again somewhere soon! --Marcelo This hulking subadult Harpy Eagle was a great find at Cristalino!

Abstract Identification errors between closely related, co-occurring, species may lead to misdirected social interactions such as costly interbreeding or misdirected aggression. This selects for divergence in traits involved in species identification among co-occurring species, resulting from character displacement.

  • 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.

Birds vary widely in size from the Bee Hummingbird Mellisuga helenae to Common Ostrich Struthio camelus, and come in a staggering range of shapes. Last century, the feld of eco-morphology began to shed light on the way birds are shaped by habitat preferences and foraging behaviour, but studies focused on relatively few species and left numerous gaps in understanding. Joe’s talk explored recent research based on detailed measurements of almost all of the world’s bird species, and described how this new infux of information has been combined with spatial, phylogenetic and ecological data to help answer some fundamental questions, such as how does bird diversity arise, and how can it best be conserved?

Corresponding author: Edson Guilherme, [email protected] Abstract The Rufous-crested Coquette, Lophornis delattrei (Lesson, 1839), and the Spangled Coquette, Lophornis stictolophus Salvin & Elliot, 1873, are 2 very similar species with a green back and orange forehead. On 9 August 2017, a hum- mingbird with an orange forehead was observed and photographed in the Serra do Divisor (Acre, Brazil). Analysis of the photographs revealed that the individual presented the diagnostic characteristics of a female of the Lophornis delattrei/stictolophus group. We assumed that the observed specimen represented Lophornis cf. delattrei, given the greater proximity of the geographic range of this species to the new locality. The presence of this Lophornis in Acre represents the occurrence of a new hummingbird taxon for Brazil.
