  • Brazil: Remote Southern Amazonia Campos Amazônicos Np & Acre
    BRAZIL: REMOTE SOUTHERN AMAZONIA CAMPOS AMAZÔNICOS NP & ACRE 7 – 19 July 2015 White-breasted Antbird (Rhegmatorhina hoffmannsi), Tabajara, Rondônia © Bradley Davis trip report by Bradley Davis ([email protected] / www.birdingmatogrosso.com) photographs by Bradley Davis and Bruno Rennó Introduction: This trip had been in the making since the autumn of 2013. Duncan, an avowed antbird fanatic, contacted me after having come to the conclusion that he could no longer ignore the Rio Roosevelt given the recent batch of antbird splits and new taxa coming from the Madeira – Tapajós interfluvium. We had touched on the subject during his previous trips in Brazil, having also toyed with the idea of including an expedition-style extension to search for Brazil's biggest mega when it comes to antbirds – the Rondônia Bushbird. After some back and forth in the first two months of the following year, an e-mail came through from Duncan which ended thusly: “statement of the bleedin’ obvious: I would SERIOUSLY like to see the Bushbird.” At which point the game was on, so to speak. We began to organize an itinerary for the Rio Roosevelt with a dedicated expedition for Rondonia Bushbird. By mid-year things were coming together for a September trip, but in August we were de-railed by a minor health problem and two participants being forced to back out at the last minute. With a bushbird in the balance, we weren't about to call the whole thing off, and thus a new itinerary sans Roosevelt was hatched for 2015, an itinerary which called for about a week in the Tabajara area on the southern border of the Campos Amazônicos National Park, followed by a few days on the west bank of the rio Madeira to go for a couple of Duncan's targets in that area.

  • 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.

  • Pousada Rio Roosevelt: a Provisional Avifaunal Inventory in South
    Cotinga31-090608:Cotinga 6/8/2009 2:38 PM Page 23 Cotinga 31 Pousada Rio Roosevelt: a provisional avifaunal inventory in south- western Amazonian Brazil, with information on life history, new distributional data and comments on taxonomy Andrew Whittaker Received 26 November 2007; final revision accepted 16 July 2008 first published online 4 March 2009 Cotinga 31 (2009): 23–46 Apresento uma lista preliminar de aves da Pousada Rio Roosevelt situada ao sul do rio Amazonas e leste do rio Madeira, do qual o Rio Roosevelt é um dos maiores afluentes da margem direta. A localização geográfica do pousada aumenta a importância da publicação de uma lista preliminar da avifauna, uma vez que ela se situa no interflúvio Madeira / Tapajós dentro do centro de endemismo Rondônia. Recentes descobertas ornitológicas neste centro de endemismo incluem a choca-de- garganta-preta Clytoctantes atrogularis, que foi encontrada na pousada e é considerada uma espécie globalmente ameaçada. Discuto porque a realização de levantamentos de aves na Amazônia é tão difícil, mencionando sucintamente alguns avanços ornitólogos Neotropicais principalmente com relação ao conhecimento das vocalizações das espécies. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram que o rio Roosevelt é uma importante barreira biográfica para algumas de Thamnophildae, família representada por 50 espécies na Pousada Roosevelt, localidade com a maior diversidade de espécies desta família em todo o mundo. Ao todo, um total de 481 espécies de aves foi registrado durante 51 dias no campo, indicando que estudos adicionais poderão elevar esse número para além de 550 espécies. Para cada espécie registrada são fornecidos detalhes sobre sua abundância, migração, preferências de hábitat e tipo de documentação na área.

We set sail at 1:30 a.m. Dorinha, Ross Baker March 5 We woke up in Janauari Lake in the Paracuuba Channel. Here we boarded canoes that took us to Xiboreninha. We saw many water birds, but the most interesting swimmer was a Southern Tamandua that made its way to dry land and up a tree. It shook and scratched itself repeatedly, perhaps to dislodge ants or termites from its fur. We also saw our first Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths and Proboscis Bats. Later we sailed upstream to a place called Anrá (pronounced uh-ha). We enjoyed views of a number of pretty icterids: Troupial, Yellow-hooded and Oriole Blackbirds, and the ubiquitous Yellow-rumped Cacique. We also saw 5 species of woodpecker and 7 species of parrot. A number of raptors were seen, including the Slate-colored Hawk. We sailed on to Janauacá Lake where we had a night trip at a place called Miuá. We saw Tropical Screech Owl, our first of many Amazon Tree Boas, and watched Lesser and Greater Fishing Bats feeding over the water. Frog diversity was good here too.

  • 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.

And, as I was enjoying the view from the plane’s window, I was wondering how to start an introductory paragraph highlighting the best experiences and birds of our Manu Biosphere Reserve tour. I found it to be a difficult task, not only because we came across an impressive number of habitats, but also because we saw so many wonderful birds! As I was still on that international flight, it didn’t take me long to figure out that I should, instead, divide this Field Report into four major areas and describe the amazing experiences and wonderful birds we enjoyed in each one. With that in mind, here we go! THE HIGH ANDES – PUNA Once we landed in Cusco, and after a wonderful breakfast, our tour started in the Huarcapay Lagoon, where 3 individuals of the rarely encountered Chilean Flamingo were observed. Here, we also saw Puna, Yellow-billed and Cinnamon teals, Spot-winged Pigeon, a vocal Plumbeous Rail, the beautiful White-tufted Grebe, several Andean Gulls, the secretive Rusty-fronted Canastero (endemic to Peru), and the Rufous-naped Ground-Tyrant, which is easily camouflaged by its gravel color.
