  • New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’S Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma Monorhis )
    his is the 20th published report of the ABA Checklist Committee (hereafter, TCLC), covering the period July 2008– July 2009. There were no changes to commit - tee membership since our previous report (Pranty et al. 2008). Kevin Zimmer has been elected to serve his second term (to expire at the end of 2012), and Bill Pranty has been reelected to serve as Chair for a fourth year. During the preceding 13 months, the CLC final - ized votes on five species. Four species were accepted and added to the ABA Checklist , while one species was removed. The number of accepted species on the ABA Checklist is increased to 960. In January 2009, the seventh edition of the ABA Checklist (Pranty et al. 2009) was published. Each species is numbered from 1 (Black-bellied Whistling-Duck) to 957 (Eurasian Tree Sparrow); ancillary numbers will be inserted for all new species, and these numbers will be included in our annual reports. Production of the seventh edi - tion of the ABA Checklist occupied much of Pranty’s and Dunn’s time during the period, and this com - mitment helps to explain the relative paucity of votes during 2008–2009 compared to our other recent an - nual reports. New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis ). ABA CLC Record #2009-02. One individual, thought to be a juvenile in slightly worn plumage, in the At - lantic Ocean at 3 4°5 7’ N, 7 5°0 5’ W, approximately 65 kilometers east-southeast of Hatteras Inlet, Cape Hat - teras, North Carolina on 2 June 2008.

  • Ultimate Bolivia Tour Report 2019
    Titicaca Flightless Grebe. Swimming in what exactly? Not the reed-fringed azure lake, that’s for sure (Eustace Barnes) BOLIVIA 8 – 29 SEPTEMBER / 4 OCTOBER 2019 LEADER: EUSTACE BARNES Bolivia, indeed, THE land of parrots as no other, but Cotingas as well and an astonishing variety of those much-loved subfusc and generally elusive denizens of complex uneven surfaces. Over 700 on this tour now! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com Blue-throated Macaws hoping we would clear off and leave them alone (Eustace Barnes) Hopefully, now we hear of colourful endemic macaws, raucous prolific birdlife and innumerable elusive endemic denizens of verdant bromeliad festooned cloud-forests, vast expanses of rainforest, endless marshlands and Chaco woodlands, each ringing to the chorus of a diverse endemic avifauna instead of bleak, freezing landscapes occupied by impoverished unhappy peasants. 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com That is the flowery prose, but Bolivia IS that great destination. The tour is no longer a series of endless dusty journeys punctuated with miserable truck-stop hotels where you are presented with greasy deep-fried chicken and a sticky pile of glutinous rice every day. The roads are generally good, the hotels are either good or at least characterful (in a good way) and the food rather better than you might find in the UK. The latter perhaps not saying very much. Palkachupe Cotinga in the early morning light brooding young near Apolo (Eustace Barnes). That said, Bolivia has work to do too, as its association with that hapless loser, Che Guevara, corruption, dust and drug smuggling still leaves the country struggling to sell itself.

  • COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Gu
    COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Guajira, Boyacá, Distrito Capital de Bogotá, Caldas These comments are provided to help independent birders traveling in Colombia, particularly people who want to drive themselves to birding sites rather than taking public transportation and also want to book reservations directly with lodgings and reserves rather than using a ground agent or tour company. Many trip reports provide GPS waypoints for navigation. I used GoogleEarth/ Maps, which worked fine for most locations (not for El Paujil reserve). I paid $10/day for AT&T to hook me up to Claro, Movistar, or Tigo through their Passport program. Others get a local SIM card so that they have a Colombian number (cheaper, for sure); still others use GooglePhones, which provide connection through other providers with better or worse success, depending on the location in Colombia. For transportation, I used a rental 4x4 SUV to reach places with bad roads but also, in northern Colombia, a subcompact rental car as far as Minca (hiked in higher elevations, with one moto-taxi to reach El Dorado lodge) and for La Guajira. I used regular taxis on few occasions. The only roads to sites for Fuertes’s Parrot and Yellow-eared Parrot could not have been traversed without four-wheel drive and high clearance, and this is important to emphasize: vehicles without these attributes would have been useless, or become damaged or stranded. Note that large cities in Colombia (at least Medellín, Santa Marta, and Cartagena) have restrictions on driving during rush hours with certain license plate numbers (they base restrictions on the plate’s final numeral).

    Husbandry Guidelines Apodiformes Hummingbirds-Trochilidae Karen Krebbs, Conservation Biologist / Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum / Tucson, AZ Dave Rimlinger, Curator of Ornithology / San Diego Zoo / San Diego, CA Michael Mace, Curator of Ornithology / San Diego Wild Animal Park / Escondido, CA September, 2002 1. ACQUISITION AND ACCLIMATIZATION Sources of birds & acclimatization procedures - In the United States local species of hummingbirds can be collected with the proper permits. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum usually has species such as Anna's (Calypte anna), Costa's (Calypte costae), and Broad-billed (Cynanthus latirostris) for surplus each year if these species have nested in their Hummingbird Exhibit. In addition to keeping some native species, the San Diego Zoo has tried to maintain several exotic species such as Sparkling violet-ear (Colibri coruscans), Emerald (Amazilia amazilia), Oasis (Rhodopis vesper), etc. The San Diego Wild Animal Park has a large mixed species glass walk-through enclosure and has kept and produced hummingbirds over the years. All hummingbirds are on Appendix II of CITES and thus are covered under the Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA). An import permit from USFWS and an export permit from the country of origin must be obtained prior to the importation. Permits have been granted in the past, but currently it is difficult to find a country willing to export hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are more commonly kept in European collections, particularly private collections, and could be a source for future imports. Weighing Hummingbirds can be placed in a soft mesh bag and weighed with a spring scale. Electronic digital platform scales can also be used. A small wooden crate with a wire mesh front can also be used for weighing.

  • New and Noteworthy Records for Tumbesian Birds in Ecuador
    Cotinga29-080304.qxp 3/4/2008 10:42 AM Page 69 Cotinga 29 New and noteworthy records for Tumbesian birds in Ecuador Alejandro Solano-Ugalde, Agustina Arcos-Torres and Carolina Toapanta Ruperti Received 6 February 2007; final revision accepted 26 June 2007 Cotinga 29 (2008): 69–71 Proveemos información que extiende la distribución hacia el norte de seis especies de aves del Área de Endemismo de la región Tumbesina ecuatoriana, incluyendo el primer reporte del Tiranito Colicorto Muscigralla brevicauda en territorio continental de Manabí y una nueva localidad para la Estrellita Esmeraldeña Chaetocercus berlepschi. Estos registros provienen del Bosque de Pacoche y alrededores. El Bosque de Pacoche está protegido y los habitantes de sus alrededores han adoptado un interesante, y al parecer sostenible, uso de sus tierras. Es necesario monitorear la presencia de éstas y otras especies de aves endémicas en el área. Recomendamos que se lleven a cabo iniciativas activas y eficaces de conservación que permitan la sobrevivencia a largo plazo de las especies presentes en el área. Generally, the ranges of birds in Tumbesian dawn on 23–24 May 2006, we heard at least one Ecuador are well described5,14, though an improved calling at a forest border adjacent to riparian understanding is of particular importance for those habitat c.1.5 km south-west of Los Patos (near considered threatened, currently one Critically Pacoche forest).

  • Ecuador: the North Trip Report October 2015
    ECUADOR: THE NORTH TRIP REPORT OCTOBER 2015 By Eduardo Ormaeche Pale-mandibled Aracari (photo Charly Sax) www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Ecuador: The North 2015 This was for sure one of the best birding trips I had the pleasure to guide in the last years. Everything was perfect! With a wonderful group of people we had excellent logistics that provided a smooth trip – including a whole bus for such a small group, amazing countryside lodges including my favorite birding lodges in Ecuador, excellent food, short distances to drive, private birding reserves, superb birding facilities including hummingbird feeders and antpitta feeding stations, and the great hospitality of the Ecuadorians; all this provided for a memorable holiday. Northern Ecuador is a great destination for all kinds of birders. Beginning birders in the Neotropics would be amazed about the large number of colorful birds like tanagers, toucans, fruiteaters, hummingbirds, and cotingas, while more advanced birders would enjoy the hunt for secretive bird species like Rufous-breasted Antthrush, Ocellated Tapaculo, and a diverse set of forest skulkers, including an interesting set of near-endemic species Our 15-day tour started in Quito, the Capital of Ecuador. As soon as we arrived at the new international airport we were transferred to the comfortable Garden Hotel San José Aeropuerto, only 15 minutes from the airport. We spent our first night there. The next day we had an early start, preceded only by a cup of coffee, before we left for the Yanacocha Reserve. This reserve belongs to the Jocotoco Conservation Foundation, an Ecuadorian NGO, and is part of their net of private land and reserves through the country that protect endangered bird habitats.
