STARTING HOUR: 5:35 h CLOSING HOUR: 7:25 h 1.4. PARTICIPANTS: Noe Huaraca y Andreina Méndez 1.5. OBJECTIVES: 1.5.1 To complement bird wildlife diversity monitoring by including canopy and underbrush forest bird species of Inkaterra Guides Field Station. 1.5.2 To establish the registered bird species' abundance parameters patterns. 1.5.3 To understand the differences between bird wildlife compositions according by its habitat. 1.6. METODOLOGÍA: The Point Count method (Ralph et al., 1995; Ralph, 1996; MINAM, 2015) was employed, which consists in staying at a point station for 10 minutes, while recording all the birds seen and heard. The distance between points is 150 meters. This month, the evaluation was performed at the trail way depicted by Image 1. Inkaterra Guides Field Station Palmetum Image 1. Sampling area and Point Counts map 1.7. RESULTS: 8 point stations were evaluated, where 64 subjects were registered, all belonging to 19 Families and 11 Orders. All registered subjects indicated a richness of 46 species. The richest Order was Passeriformes with 21 species and 7 families (Thamnophilidae, Cotingidae, Formicariidae, Furnariidae, Icteridae, Trogloditydae y Tyrannidae), next were Psittaciformes (macaws, parrots and perakeet) with 6 species and 1 family, Galbuliformes (jacamar), and finally, Columbiformes (pigeons) with 4 species and 1 family per each one. Among the bird species registered, the most relatively abundant were parrots; the Pionus menstruus species (Blue headed Parrot) showed the highest number of subjects registered while flying (n=11), all spotted at counting point 2 (n=7) and counting point 3 (n=4).

On this occasion seven clients completed both tours, with two flying home after the first and another four arriving for the second. Colombia has one of the longest bird list in the world, stunning scenery and one of the best safety records after civil conflicts. Naturetrek is now operating two amazing trails for birdwatchers. The first one in the Cauca Valley visits beautiful places that were once banned for tourists, but who are now allowed to enjoy the amazing birds. The second is in the amazing Santa Marta Endemics tour where time is spent visiting the northern Caribbean coast of Guajira and the special endemic location of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta with its foothills and San Lorenzo ridge. Day 1 Monday 13th February The group left Heathrow on an overnight flight to Bogotá Day 2 Tuesday 14th February The flight landed around 4am at Bogotá airport and after a short wait, we caught a domestic onward flight to Cali.

  • Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
    The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya.

  • Spatuletails, Owlet Lodge & More 2018
    Field Guides Tour Report Peru's Magnetic North: Spatuletails, Owlet Lodge & More 2018 Jun 23, 2018 to Jul 5, 2018 Dan Lane & Jesse Fagan For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The name of this tour highlights a few of the spectacular birds that make their homes in Peru's northern regions, and we saw these, and many more! This might have been called the "Antpittas and More" tour, since we had such great views of several of these formerly hard-to-see species. This Ochre-fronted Antpitta was one; she put on a fantastic display for us! Photo by participant Linda Rudolph. The eastern foothills of Andes of northern Peru are one of those special places on the planet… especially if you’re a fan of birds! The region is characterized by pockets of white sand forest at higher elevations than elsewhere in most of western South America. This translates into endemism, and hence our interest in the region! Of course, the region is famous for the award-winning Marvelous Spatuletail, which is actually not related to the white sand phenomenon, but rather to the Utcubamba valley and its rainshadow habitats (an arm of the dry Marañon valley region of endemism). The white sand endemics actually span areas on both sides of the Marañon valley and include several species described to science only since about 1976! The most famous of this collection is the diminutive Long-whiskered Owlet (described 1977), but also includes Cinnamon Screech-Owl (described 1986), Royal Sunangel (described 1979), Cinnamon-breasted Tody-Tyrant (described 1979), Lulu’s Tody-Flycatcher (described 2001), Chestnut Antpitta (described 1987), Ochre-fronted Antpitta (described 1983), and Bar-winged Wood-Wren (described 1977).

  • FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena
    Field Guides Tour Report Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena Valley, and Santa Marta 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 27, 2014 Jesse Fagan & Trevor Ellery For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. A fun group and the most productive tour we have had to date! We observed 582 bird taxa in 17 days of birding, which beat our record last year of 555 by a bunch. As we fine-tune our birding route and learn more about Colombian birds things just seem to get better and better. This year we saw 33 endemics and loads of interesting subspecies and near-endemics. Highlights included a female Blue- billed Curassow, Kelp Gull(s) at Los Camerones (only the second time it has been recorded in Colombia), Dwarf and Pavonine cuckoos (the latter a lifer for Trevor!), a splendid Crested Owl, Sapphire- bellied Hummingbird (nice comparisons with Sapphire-throated), Double-banded Graytail in the coffee finca below Reinita Cielo Azul lodge, the always elusive Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant and antpitta, Turquoise Dacnis, and singing Yellow-bellied Siskin. It is really hard to pick just one from so many! I want to thank all of you again for a really enjoyable trip. Thanks also to Trevor Ellery, our local guide, and Giovanni, our driver, for their hard work. I look forward to seeing you again in the field. Bird On. --Jesse a.k.a.

  • Versatile Foraging and Wide Trophic Role of the Southern Caracara (Caracara Plancus) in Brazil, with Comments on Feeding Habits of the Caracarini
    592ARTIGO Ivan Sazima Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 15(4):592-597 dezembro de 2007 The jack-of-all-trades raptor: versatile foraging and wide trophic role of the Southern Caracara (Caracara plancus) in Brazil, with comments on feeding habits of the Caracarini Ivan Sazima Departamento de Zoologia e Museu de História Natural, Caixa Postal 6109, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 13083‑970, Brasil. E‑mail: [email protected] Recebido em 14 de março de 2007; aceito em 29 de dezembro de 2007. RESUMO: O raptor pau-para-toda-obra: forrageio versátil e ampla função trófica do caracará (Caracara plancus) no Brasil, com comentários sobre hábitos alimentares de Caracarini. O caracará (Caracara plancus) é uma das espécies de Falconiformes com dieta particularmente ampla, acompanhada de variadas táticas alimentares. Apresento aqui uma visão geral dos hábitos alimentares deste falconídeo, com cerca de uma dezena de tipos principais de alimento e um número semelhante de táticas de forrageio. Adicionalmente, comento sobre os hábitos alimentares de Caracarini e noto que a versatilidade trófica de C. plancus é uma característica compartilhada com outras espécies do grupo que habitam áreas abertas. Estudos filogenéticos classificam C. plancus como uma das espécies mais basais do grupo, o que poderia indicar que dieta variada e versatilidade comportamental em Caracarini sejam características ancestrais. As duas espécies de Milvago e Daptrius ater parecem ser mais especializadas em alguns aspectos (e.g., catação habitual de carrapatos), porém Phalcoboenus apresenta um padrão trófico semelhante ao de Caracara, embora cace cooperativamente. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Táticas alimentares, versatilidade comportamental, dieta ampla, áreas abertas, Caracarini, características ancestrais. ABSTRACT: The Southern Caracara (Caracara plancus) has one of the most diversified diets and versatile foraging tactics among the Falconiformes.
