TRAVELS IN COLOMBIA Part 1 A snapshot of Colombia and its Kathy Costello

Val LaMay and I joined 8 other Aussie birders on a trip to Colombia, run by Chris Doughty’s Peregrine Bird Tours in August 2016. Our Colombian guide was Pablo Florez, an expert birder, co-author of the book Birdwatching in Colombia and an ever-helpful and obliging tour guide. Colombia has more bird species than any other country. It is near the equator, it has extensive lowland forests, two coastlines ,and three chains of the Andes Mountains with valleys in between, providing a plethora of habitats for birds.

Roadside birding in the Western Andes provided stunning views. Photo Val La May

Hummingbirds The highlight for me was the large number of hummingbirds we saw, some at nectar feeders, others in forests and mangroves. One was even around the boats at Inirida. They occurred in all areas, from the Green-bearded Helmetcrest which lives at high altitude in the exposed scrubby paramos of the Eastern Andes, to the rarely seen 7cm Amethyst Woodstar of the wet lowland forests around Mitu, and found for us by Miguel, a great guide from a local Indian village. In all it was wonderful to see 42 different hummingbirds, although my Colombian field guide lists well over 150 species.

Where did we travel? We travelled to five different areas of the country. Mitu is a remote town in the tropical lowlands of the Amazon Basin, near the Brazilian border. Inirida is a larger town in the remote lowlands near the Venezuelan border. A few days were also spent on the Pacific Coast close to the Panama border (see Val’s article below). In the Western Andes near Medellin we birded at about 1700 metres above sea level, and later climbed higher still to 3500 metres near the capital Bogota in the Eastern Andes. Both areas provided Ruby-Topaz Hummingbird displaying just the way our group some stunning landscapes and birds, and welcome saw it near the Inirida River.Photo by Rob Belterman, from relief from the heat and humidity of the lowlands.

The humid lowlands in eastern Colombia would suddenly appear close by, followed by a leisurely swim for a few minutes before they drifted Our visit was soon after the wet season, and in low- away. lying areas the rivers were still very high. At Inirida, most of our birding was done by boat on the massive Inirida River which flows into the Orinoco River on the Venezuelan border. The locals travel by longboats with an outboard motor. Many Indian families had wooden longboats crafted from a single log. Our boatman skilfully guided our metal longboat into small flooded inlets where we were able to get close to birds that were more wary when we were on foot. We had great views of Scarlet Macaws, Amazonian Umbrellabird, four species of kingfisher, and a number of woodpeckers including two striking large species that reminded me of Woody Woodpecker, the Lineated and the Crimson-crested Woodpecker. Throughout the tour, our guides worked hard to locate various skulking antbirds, antshrikes and antwrens that lead unobtrusive lives on the forest floor. We did well in the boat, seeing Black-crested Antshrike, Blackish-grey Antshrike and the Great Antshrike. The colour schemes Birding was easy from this covered bridge near Mitu. Photo don’t vary much, black and white, black, grey and Kathy Costello white, some with streaks, some with a few spots, some with a splash of chestnut. It was difficult birding. Our motel at Irinida was on the banks of the river, and for several days we were lucky to see a pair of Sunbitterns feeding in the flooded back yard. Also in the late afternoon, huge numbers of Fork-tailed Flycatchers arrived to hawk insects around the communications towers in Inirida near our motel. And after we left our restaurant at night, we saw Lesser Nighthawks hunting for insects around the street lights in the middle of town.

Our rarest bird was the Orinoco Softail, which wasn’t in our field guide, although it is known in Venezuela. It is a flooded forest specialist. As more birders get to these remote areas, no doubt other species will be added to the Colombian field guide. The biggest disappointment was dipping on the Hoatzin, a signature bird of the wet lowland forests. We found out that they migrate north River transport meets road transport at Inirida. Photo Kathy Costello in the wetter months, so our timing was a bit out. Another special treat from the boat was seeing Botos every day. These are large pinkish-grey river dolphins, which seemed to enjoy seeking out our craft. First you would hear a small splash, and a pinkish head or two

Not so good was that we disturbed some the tanagers seen were Golden, Glistening-green, huge yellow and black striped bees as we climbed the Flame-rumped, Gold and Black, and Rufous-throated outcrop. Two of our group were stung, thankfully only Tanagers, so you get some idea of the colours. We saw once, but the sting penetrated four layers of clothing. over 30 of them throughout the tour.

We spent 2 nights at Las Tanageras Reserve owned by the bird conservation organisation Pro Aves, enjoying long walks along roads and tracks, and then watching the bird feeders at our lodge in this beautiful area of the Western Andes. Some of the birds seen by our group were Sickle- winged Guan around the grounds, 16 hummingbirds at 2 bird feeders, Andean Mot Mot, Red-headed Barbet and Toucan Barbet and a beautiful White-capped Dipper in a stream near the lodge. Although South American birds such as toucans, macaws and woodpeckers are familiar to many people, there are many lesser-known species such as foliage gleaners, puffbirds, trogons, jacamars, euphonias, manakins, cotingas and tinamous. The neotropics are wonderfully rich in birdlife. Our group recorded about 470 species, many of them difficult to see birds in remote locations. Rocky viewpoint near Mitu. Photo Kathy Costello

Bird of the trip by popular vote Subsistence agriculture Bird of the trip, after a vote, was Guianan Cock-of-the- Around Mitu, there are about 20 indigenous villages, Rock. each with their own territory and language. We usually drove to a local village with Pablo our Colombian guide, who hired a bird guide from the village. We then birded along the many trails through the surrounding Varzea or white sand forest. A typical village consisted of simple unpainted wooden houses, a community meeting hall, a primary school and a dirt soccer pitch, and was home to about 20 families. The villages we visited were usually located on a stream or river and had electricity and at least one TV. Each community practised traditional agriculture using chagras, small clearings in the forest, where manioc (or yucca) and pineapples were planted. Some coca and bananas were also grown. After about five years when the poor, sandy soil was exhausted, another chagra would be cleared for cultivation. Source. Birdwatching in Colombia, by Jurgen Beckers and Pablo Florez.

usual quota of rainforest skulkers: those mostly grey, brown or black birds, such as the many Antbirds, which are difficult to see in the forest gloom. We are also on the search for the Brown Wood-rail, which occurs only on the Pacific coast of this region. I am distracted by the abundant flying creatures. Some are microbats, but there is a green-winged in large numbers. Butterfly? Moth? Later I managed to photograph one that landed on the beach. Still, I mis-identified it as a butterfly, when it is in fact a migratory moth Urania fulgens.

Our group near Inirida. Photo Sue Abbotts I will always remember one village near Mitu. We were returning through the village after a morning of birding when the heavens opened, and a thunderstorm enveloped us. Our guide asked a local man if we could join him under the verandah of his wooden home. After a few minutes we noticed a laptop computer on a small wooden table. It turned out he was studying sociology by distance education. That blew away all my assumptions about education in the villages. The wonders of satellite communication.

So we have missed a few species! watch the birds go by. Notable birds we have not yet seen include the following: Vale Nigel Lacey Emu (latest sighting Oct 2015) Brolga (latest sighting Nov 2012) Another of our members, Nigel Lacey, sadly passed Swift Parrot (latest sighting Apr 2011) away late in October after a lengthy period in hospital. Fuscous (latest sighting Nov 2012) We will miss him at our quarterly bird surveys at Grey-crowned Babbler (latest sighting Mar 2011) Winton Wetlands, where he was an enthusiastic (latest sighting Mar 2011) participant. Interestingly, although several of us have seen Musk and Purple-crowned Lorikeets at the Wetlands, we have yet to report them during our surveys. The surveys are a snapshot of the birds there at a specific INTERESTING SIGHTINGS time. Hence there is an element of luck involved in what species we report. Don Roberts reports Australasian Bittern at This year we counted a total of 8,925 individual birds Gemmill’s Swamp, Mooroopna for 2 to 3 weeks in at the Wetlands. That may seem a large number, but October 2016.

6 The Babbler The Babbler hours later, fifteen members emerged from the Reserve. How is it so? A late-comer from Alexandra found us in the scrub. Many eyes find many birds: our group saw 42 species in the Reserve in the grey light of Saturday, compared with 25 seen by Kathy Costello and me a week earlier during a reccy visit on a sunny day. Sadly, no Gilberts Whistler or Hooded Robin. But repeated sightings of a small group of White-browed Babblers and also a pair of Crested Shrike-tits, and about 30 Flame Robins. Also we had a nice little feeding flock in the small plantation at the Rest Stop, including excellent views of Yellow Thornbills. After lunch at New Crossing Place, we braved the cold wind and walked upriver to the vineyard. Again a nice Brolgas at Nagambie. Photo Graham Boast feeding flock of Spotted and Striated Pardalotes and several species of thornbills. They were insects off the damaged-looking Red Gum leaves. No raptors seen on the day at either location. Rushworth State Forest Saturday 16 July 2016

Our outing on 16 July 2016 began in beautiful sunshine, a wonderful winters day. After meeting in Rushworth we moved on to Halfway Dam on the Whroo-Rushworth Road. This is a good place for flowering Correa shrubs in the winter, which was the case, attracting Eastern Spinebill, Red Wattlebird, White-plumed, White-eared, White-naped and Brown- headed . Other birds observed were Varied Sittella, Grey Currawong, Weebill, Brown, Buff- rumped and Striated Thornbills and a pair of Scarlet Robins. On the way back to the cars we searched an area of Blue Mallee which had been harvested to produce eucalypts oil, the regrowth of 60 cm looked ideal for Chestnut-rumped Heathwren as it proved to be. Heard by a few members but only seen by Manfred.

Thanks to everyone who turned out and also for looking after each other in the scrub at Mangalore. Our luck on the day extended to Don Roberts' carload, when Don spotted a pair of Brolgas not far from the Nagambie Bypass. Graham Boast photographed the Brolgas and reported them to Birdline Victoria. Val La May

By lunch time the sun had just started to break through, which continued on for our afternoon walk along the fast flowing creek, some species observed were Jacky Winter, Scarlet and Flame Robins and Dusky Woodswallow. For the day we recorded 40 species, a good total considering the bitter conditions in the morning. Don Roberts

A bitter morning, fog, cold wind greeted eleven hardy birdos on 20 August 2016. Peter had a look around the previous Tuesday and found a spot with many Grevillea Alpina in flower, so we observed many Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters and a few Eastern Spinebill. Other species seen were Brown, Buff-rumped, Yellow- rumped, Striated and Yellow Thornbill, Weebill, White- browed Babbler, Varied Sittella, Red-browed Finch and Jacky Winter at Mourngag Cemetery.Photo Di Padron White-browed Scrubwren.

En route, we stopped at the Moorngag Cemetery. The roadside here supports a good stand of mature trees of varying species with a reasonably healthy shrub layer and has historically proven to yield a good mix of bird species. There was not a lot of blossom evident so we only found 2 species of honeyeater but we did observe 6 different 'Thornbills and Allies' as well as a few Varied Sittellas, which are always a bit hit-and-miss. We then decided to have our morning tea near the Samaria Well site at the entry point to the Mt Samaria State Park. Here, the Grevillea alpina was flowering profusely as was the mistletoe. As a result, we observed a good many Yellow-faced Honeyeaters and some Spinebills but it was the Buff- rumped Thornbills who put on the best show by brazenly feeding in the low shrubs and groundcovers almost at our feet.

We lunched at the Sawmill site and birded in the immediate vicinity, where the rather wet conditions underfoot repeatedly checked our progress. We did hear Lyrebirds and Don's expert ear also heard a Rose Robin, but the birding was relatively quiet. But some in the group had good views of 2 pairs of Eastern Whipbirds. The birding may have been a little quiet (Species total =55) but we did have our share of hiccups to liven the day - and we had no less than 4 full cakes provided by our members! A very pleasant day of social birding. Mike Kerr

Although Pine Gully waterfall as it’s rarely seen. it is a walking track with a locked gate restricting Photo Marg Clarke vehicle access, tyre tracks had caused obvious damage, exacerbated by recent heavy rains. Several channels on the track were 60cm deep, although the Buff-rumped Thornbills found them a great spot for bathing. Altogether we recorded 34 species during the walk.
