First Record of the Yellowish Pipit in Acre with Notes on Other Grassland Birds in Southwestern Amazônia Neotropical Biology and Conservation 10(3):169-176, september-december 2015 Unisinos - doi: 10.4013/nbc.2015.103.07 SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of the Yellowish Pipit in Acre with notes on other grassland birds in southwestern Amazônia Primeiro registro do Caminheiro-zumbidor no Acre com notas sobre outras aves de ambientes campestres no sudoeste amazônico Edson Guilherme1 [email protected] Abstract This paper presents the first record of the Yellowish Pipit (Anthus lutescens) in the Brazil- Robson Esteves Czaban2 ian state of Acre. This record represents the westernmost record of the species in Brazil [email protected] and provides evidence of its expansion into the southwestern Amazon basin. We also present information on the occurrence of other bird species, typical of grasslands and other open habitats, e.g., the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia), the White-tailed Hawk (Geranoaetus albicaudatus), the Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) and the Southern Caracara (Caracara plancus). These species have encroached southwestern Amazônia following environmental changes caused by human activities, such as the construction of highways and the conversion of the rainforest into cattle pasture. Keywords: Aves, Anthus lutescens, Motacillidae, open habitats, range extension. Resumo Este trabalho divulga o primeiro registro do Caminheiro-zumbidor (Anthus lutescens) no estado brasileiro do Acre. Este registro é o mais ocidental da espécie em território bra- sileiro e marca a sua expansão em direção ao sudoeste amazônico. Apresenta também informações sobre algumas espécies de aves típicas de ambientes campestres, tais como a coruja-buraqueira (Athene cunicularia), o gavião-de-rabo-branco (Geranoaetus albicau- datus), o quero-quero (Vanellus chilensis) e o caracará (Caracara plancus), entre outras. Essas espécies vêm ocupando áreas na Amazônia após mudanças ambientais provo- cadas pelo homem, tais como a abertura de estradas e a conversão das florestas em pastagens para atividades agropastoris.

  • Notes on the Avifauna of the Upper Bermejo River (Argentina and Bolivia) with a New Species for Argentina
    Notes on the avifauna of the upper Bermejo River (Argentina and Bolivia) with a new species for Argentina Rosendo M. Fraga and Ricardo Clark Cotinga 12 (1999): 77–78 Durante un relevamiento invernal de cinco días por el alto valle del río Bermejo (Argentina y Bolivia), detectamos 140 especies de aves. Entre ellas, registramos por primera vez en la Argentina a Buteo albonotatus, y por segunda vez a Egretta caerulea. Presentamos aquí datos sobre el estatus e historia natural de 12 especies de aves. The Bermejo River is the one of the main tributaries of the Paraguay–Paraná River system, and flows from south-west Bolivia to north-east Argentina, through varied habitats from the Andean chain to the plains of the lower Chaco. It is the most important river crossing the dry western Chaco. During more humid times, the Bermejo River possibly acted as a corridor for forest birds between the (interior) Atlantic Forest and the Yungas (montane) Forests of north-west Argentina and south Bolivia11. Despite a number of contributions3,4 12 13 the avifauna of its mountainous upper course is relatively little known. The area is currently threatened by the development of hydroelectric projects that will flood sections of two national parks (P. N. Tariquia in Bolivia, P. N. Baritu in Argentina). During 18–22 July 1998, we visited the upper Bermejo valley in Salta province (Argentina) and dpto. Tarija (Bolivia). We also visited some of its tributaries. From north to south these were: Arroyo de las Moras, Río Arazayal (22º40'S 64º25'W, altitude 450 m at its mouth), Río Pescado, and the Río Grande de Tarija (or Tarija).

  • 21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic
    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.

  • Paraguayan Mega! (Paul Smith)
    “South America’s Ivorybill”, the Helmeted Woodpecker is a Paraguayan mega! (Paul Smith) PARAGUAY 15 SEPTEMBER – 2 OCTOBER 2017 LEADER: PAUL SMITH With just short of 400 birds and 17 mammals Paraguay once again proved why it is South America’s fastest growing birding destination. The "Forgotten Heart of South America", may still be an “off the beaten track” destination that appeals mainly to adventurous birders, but thanks to some easy walking, stunning natural paradises and friendly, welcoming population, it is increasingly becoming a “must visit” country. And there is no wonder, with a consistent record for getting some of South America’s super megas such as Helmeted Woodpecker, White-winged Nightjar, Russet-winged Spadebill and Saffron-cowled Blackbird, it has much to offer the bird-orientated visitor. Paraguay squeezes four threatened ecosystems into its relatively manageable national territory and this, Birdquest’s fourth trip, visits all of them. As usual the trip gets off to flyer in the humid and dry Chaco; meanders through the rarely-visited Cerrado savannas; indulges in a new bird frenzy in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest; and signs off with a bang in the Mesopotamian flooded grasslands of southern Paraguay. This year’s tour was a little earlier than usual, and we suffered some torrential rainstorms, but with frequent knee-trembling encounters with megas along the way it was one to remember. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Paraguay www.birdquest-tours.com Crakes would be something of a theme on this trip, and we started off with a belter in the pouring rain, the much sought after Grey-breasted Crake.

INTRODUCTION Not everyone is fortunate enough to visit Peru; a marvelous country that boasts a huge country bird list, which is second only to Colombia. Unlike our usual set departure, we started out with a daylong extension to Lomas de Lachay first, before starting out on the usual itinerary for the main tour. On this extra day we managed to 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 find many extra birds like Peruvian Thick-knee, Least Seedsnipe, Peruvian Sheartail, Raimondi’s Yellow- Finch and the localized Cactus Canastero. The first site of the main tour was Huacarpay Lake, near the beautiful Andean city of Cusco (accessed after a short flight from Lima). This gave us a few endemic species like Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero; along with other less local species like Many-colored Rush-tyrant, Plumbeous Rail, Puna Teal, Andean Negrito and Puna Ibis. The following day we birded along the road towards Manu where we picked up birds like Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Spot-winged Pigeon, and a beautiful Peruvian endemic in the form of Creamy-crested Spinetail. We also saw Yungas Pygmy-Owl, Black-faced Ibis, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain- Tanagers, Red-crested Cotinga and the gorgeous Grass-green Tanager.

    Greater Rheas in southern Entre Ríos - © Marcelo Gavensky Pre “Ornithological Congress of the Americas 2017” Tour Southern Entre Ríos 3 days/ 2 nights tour, August 4th to 6th WWW.BIRDINGBUENOSAIRES.COM Espinal forest and marsh in southern Entre Ríos - © Marcelo Gavensky INTRODUCTION The south of Entre Ríos province is one of the most productive birding areas in Argentina, and the best place in Buenos Aires surroundings. Although not being formally protected, the regions preserves very good habitats for birds and wildlife, with an interesting combination of Espinal forest, marshes and Pampas grassland. This gives refuge to an unsuspected diversity of birds, with a total list of over 300 species, including iconic pampas species such as Greater Rhea, as well as endangered and range restricted specialties such as Saffron-cowled Blackbird, Straight-billed Reedhaunter and Bay-capped Wren-spinetail, among many others. But southern Entre Ríos is not just about bird diversity: it’s also a land of abundance. This is especially evident while visiting the huge wetlands where it is possible to see hundreds of Maguari and Wood storks, Southern Screamers, Snail Kites and a plethora of herons and egrets. This, combined with the typical Argentine pampas landscape, with real gauchos and warm small town people, plus good stake and wine, makes of this area an incredible birding destination, and a “must go” place because its proximity to Buenos Aires. This tour gives a good insight to the south of Entre Ríos, visiting the best spots whithin it, starting and
