(615J 356 - 7636 The Bluebird 59(1): 4, Mar. 1992 President's Message Bill Reeves Marking the trend toward generally warmer winters, this year has been no exception. CBC's at Mingo and Taney County together netted over 100 wintering species of birds. Wetlands normally encrusted with ice and snow have remained at least partially open most of the winter season, producing some unexpected surprises. Mud flats at the Riverlands area in St. Charles County produced the phenomenal first-record Ross' Gull. Wintering Sandhill Cranes have remained on the ASM hotline from 3-4 separate locations throughout the winter season. Wintering Eared Grebes have been reported from at least three locations statewide, including a single bird in breeding plumage at Mingo NWR in January. Significant movements of geese through the greater St. Louis metropolitan area were detected by late January, considerably earlier than usual. To the same extent that we anticipate an early transition toward spring weather, we should already set our sights on this year's spring meeting in the southwestern quadrant of the State. Late April usually means small trickles of warblers and vireos for the rest of the State, the woodland passerines should be present in relatively good numbers at this year's locale. Blue-winged, Parula, Yellow-throated and Prairie Warblers will already be establishing territories, and early-arriving Painted Buntings should be showing up by then. Permanent resident Pine Warblers, Black Vultures, and Greater Roadrunners will be lurking around, and prairie country may boast nesting Swainson's Hawk and Harrier. Holdover loons of any species remain possible at Table Rock Lake, even in late April. The Bluebird 59(1): 5, Mar. 1992 Whether it be visions of "specialty" birds or simply the call of spring migration that lures us, the annual spring meeting is clearly one of the best opportunities for birders of all types to enjoy the pursuit ofbirdwatching. It was an ASM spring meeting some 12years ago which enticed this President (then a complete novice at birding) into banding together with other birders to form the East Ozarks Audubon Society. What followed was a succession of memberships in the National Audubon Society, Audubon Society of Missouri, and a host of other birding organizations. Rubbing elbows and jawing with top-notch birders and wildlife biologists leaves a lasting impression that fuels a lifelong enthusiasm for birding. Most of us can probably harken back to exciting and memorable experiences during past spring meetings which will likely remain forever etched in our men1ories. Make your experiences a reality for someone else by inviting them to the best we have to offer at our spring meeting. The Audubon Society of Missouri gratefully acknowledges receipt of a memorial made in memory of Jeremiah Lee Pulley (June 5, 1974 - December 30, 1991) by Patrice and George Shalda, Rosemary and Joseph Fisher and Krista and Michael Klein. The memorial is to be used to help fund the Missouri Audubon Camp for the Missouri teacher who is selected this year. The Bluebird 59(1): 6, Mar. 1992 Mulberries - Concentration Sites for Rare Birds Paul M. McKenzie U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 608 E. Cherry St. Columbia, MO 65201 While. birding in the Columbia area this past spring, I noticed numerous mulberry (Moros rubra) trees in fruit along Brush Creek. From past experiences in Louisiana, fruiting mulberry trees can be hot spots for vagrant birds, especially grosbeaks, buntings, tanagers, orioles, and other fruit-eating species. Fruiting mulberries in southwestern Louisiana in April and May have attracted such rarities as Black-headed Grosbeak, Western Tanager, and Hooded Oriole. Although mulberries in Missouri ripen later (mid May- mid June) than - those in Louisiana, they are still worth checking for rarities. In addition to stream sides where I observed the species this spring, Steyermark (1963) listed the habitat for red mulberry as ... "rich woods, or open rocky places, either in lowland or upland, along roadsides, fields, and pastures." In addition to red mulberry, white mulberry (Morus alba) is common in Missouri, but not nearly as widely distributed as red mulberry [Steyermark (1963) indicated that red mulberry was probably in every county of the state]. Reporting on white mulberry, Steyermark (1963) stated, "Escaped from cultivation and commonly found in low wet ground along streams and stream banks, and along fence rows and pastures." Thus, because both red and white mulberry are common throughout Missouri and may occupy some of the same habitats, they provide excellent opportunities for state birders to look for unusual birds during spring migration. Birders can locate mulberry trees by searching the above- mentioned habitats in April when the trees first leaf out. Once trees are located, they should be checked on a regular basis (preferably, at least once a day) as soon as the berries begin to ripen. The best time to check trees is early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

  • Bolivia: the Andes and Chaco Lowlands
    BOLIVIA: THE ANDES AND CHACO LOWLANDS TRIP REPORT OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 By Eduardo Ormaeche Blue-throated Macaw www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Bolivia, October/November 2017 Bolivia is probably one of the most exciting countries of South America, although one of the less-visited countries by birders due to the remoteness of some birding sites. But with a good birding itinerary and adequate ground logistics it is easy to enjoy the birding and admire the outstanding scenery of this wild country. During our 19-day itinerary we managed to record a list of 505 species, including most of the country and regional endemics expected for this tour. With a list of 22 species of parrots, this is one of the best countries in South America for Psittacidae with species like Blue-throated Macaw and Red-fronted Macaw, both Bolivian endemics. Other interesting species included the flightless Titicaca Grebe, Bolivian Blackbird, Bolivian Earthcreeper, Unicolored Thrush, Red-legged Seriema, Red-faced Guan, Dot-fronted Woodpecker, Olive-crowned Crescentchest, Black-hooded Sunbeam, Giant Hummingbird, White-eared Solitaire, Striated Antthrush, Toco Toucan, Greater Rhea, Brown Tinamou, and Cochabamba Mountain Finch, to name just a few. We started our birding holiday as soon as we arrived at the Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, birding the grassland habitats around the terminal. Despite the time of the day the airport grasslands provided us with an excellent introduction to Bolivian birds, including Red-winged Tinamou, White-bellied Nothura, Campo Flicker, Chopi Blackbird, Chotoy Spinetail, White Woodpecker, and even Greater Rhea, all during our first afternoon.

Species highlighted in RED are the ones illustrated with photos in this report. 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.

  • First Ornithological Inventory and Conservation Assessment for the Yungas Forests of the Cordilleras Cocapata and Mosetenes, Cochabamba, Bolivia
    Bird Conservation International (2005) 15:361–382. BirdLife International 2005 doi:10.1017/S095927090500064X Printed in the United Kingdom First ornithological inventory and conservation assessment for the yungas forests of the Cordilleras Cocapata and Mosetenes, Cochabamba, Bolivia ROSS MACLEOD, STEVEN K. EWING, SEBASTIAN K. HERZOG, ROSALIND BRYCE, KARL L. EVANS and AIDAN MACCORMICK Summary Bolivia holds one of the world’s richest avifaunas, but large areas remain biologically unexplored or unsurveyed. This study carried out the first ornithological inventory of one of the largest of these unexplored areas, the yungas forests of Cordilleras Cocapata and Mosetenes. A total of 339 bird species were recorded including 23 restricted-range, four Near-Threatened, two globally threatened, one new to Bolivia and one that may be new to science. The study extended the known altitudinal ranges of 62 species, 23 by at least 500 m, which represents a substantial increase in our knowledge of species distributions in the yungas, and illustrates how little is known about Bolivia’s avifauna. Species characteristic of, or unique to, three Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) were found. The Cordilleras Cocapata and Mosetenes are a stronghold for yungas endemics and hold large areas of pristine Bolivian and Peruvian Upper and Lower Yungas habi- tat (EBAs 54 and 55). Human encroachment is starting to threaten the area and priority conser- vation actions, including designation as a protected area and designation as one of Bolivia’s first Important Bird Areas, are recommended. Introduction Bolivia holds the richest avifauna of any landlocked country. With a total of 1,398 species (Hennessey et al.

  • Abra Maruncunca, Dpto. Puno, Peru, Revisited: Vegetation Cover and Avifauna Changes Over a 30-Year Period
    Mark B. Robbins et al. 31 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(1) Abra Maruncunca, dpto. Puno, Peru, revisited: vegetation cover and avifauna changes over a 30-year period by Mark B. Robbins, Thomas S. Schulenberg, Daniel F. Lane, Andrés M. Cuervo, Laurence C. Binford†, Árpád S. Nyári, Mariela Combe, Enrique Arbeláez-Cortés, Walter Wehtje & Andrés Lira-Noriega Received 20 July 2012 Summary.—Avifaunal inventories in 1980, 2007 and 2009 along the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes at Abra Maruncunca, dpto. Puno, document the occurrence and change in relative abundance of 245 species. Degradation of forest cover with an increase in secondary vegetation probably explains many of the differences between the 1980 and 2009 surveys. We provide details for the first occurrence and clarification of the status in Peru for Ochre-cheeked Spinetail Synallaxis scutata, Olivaceous Woodcreeper Sittasomus griseicapillus viridis, Scimitar-winged Piha Lipaugus uropygialis, White-necked Thrush Turdus albicollis contemptus, Blue- browed Tanager Tangara cyanotis cyanotis, White-browed Brush Finch Arremon torquatus and Yellow-bellied Siskin Sporagra xanthogastra, with comments on the taxonomy of Roadside Hawk Rupornis magnirostris, Plumbeous Pigeon Patagioenas plumbea, a Pyrrhura parakeet, White-bellied Hummingbird Amazilia chionogaster, an antwren Herpsilochmus sp., and Fuscous Flycatcher Cnemotriccus fuscatus. The key for ensuring that this rich avifauna is preserved at this site lies in the protection of the relatively intact forest at the base of the massif at the north end of our study area. The east Andean slope has long been recognised to harbour one of the most speciose avifaunas in the world (Chapman 1917, 1926, Meyer de Schauensee 1970, Stotz et al.

  • A Natural Systems Glossary
    A NATURAL SYSTEMS GLOSSARY A Glossary of Environmental, Biological, Zoological, Botanical, Ecological, Biogeographical, Evolutionary, Taxonomic, Hydrologic, Geographic, Geomorphologic, Geophysical and Meteorological Terms March 2006 (last revised May 2008) INTRODUCTION This glossary is the outgrowth of the InkaNatura guide training workshop held at Sandoval Lake Lodge and the Heath River Wildlife Center in southeastern Peru and adjacent Bolivia in January and February 2006. It began with the list of approximately 300 vocabulary words and terms generated during the workshop as well as many additional words and terms generated during the January and February 2008 guide training workshop held at Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge and Manu Wildlife Center in southeastern Peru. While originally intended for the use of the InkaNatura guides, it has expanded into a reasonably comprehensive glossary in excess of 2700 terms and useful throughout North and South America. This version of the glossary should only be considered a draft. It has been compiled from many books and online sources. Some entries I wrote myself but the vast majority were cut and pasted from the many online and printed sources. In future versions the definitions will be edited down, but in this version, in the interest of time, for a large number of the entries several definitions from multiple sources have been included. Throughout the glossary, words and terms in boldface type indicate other entries in the glossary. GLOSSARY abdomen - The part of the body that generally contains the intestines; also called the belly; in organisms, such as insects and spiders, is the last body section…In entomology, the part of an insect’s body that contains the digestive system and the organs of reproduction.

El presente trabajo informa sobre la primera expedición ornitológica a esta cordillera y presenta datos sobre la diversidad, composición y importancia para la conservación de la comunidad de aves terrestres en los alrededores de la Laguna Carachupa (1180-1600 m.s.n.m.) en la parte central de la Cordillera Mosetenes. Los datos fueron obtenidos en agosto y septiembre de 2003 con un método de muestreo estandardizado semi-cuantitativo. Los resultados son comparados con aquellos de dos otras localidades yungeñas a altitudes muy similares que fueron muestreadas con el mismo método y durante la misma época (mediados a finales de la época seca). Registré un total de 183 especies de aves terrestres en la Laguna Carachupa, incluyendo nueve especies de rango restringido, cuatro de las cuales son casi endémicas de Bolivia, una especie vulnerable, dos casi amenazadas y 24 especies indicadoras para Bosque Siempre Verde Montano Tropical Superior (BSMTS). Las dos especies casi amenazadas fueron consideradas como vulnerable hasta muy recientemente. Datos obtenidos en el presente estudio contribuyeron al cambio en su categoría de amenaza, y la Cordillera Mosetenes aparentemente es el sitio de mayor concentración de sus publicaciones, lo que subraya su importancia para la conservación.

Key words: Chiroxiphia boliviana, Yungas Manakin, Manu National Park, Peru, Pipridae, reproductive biology. INTRODUCTION Breeding, nest, egg, and nestling descriptions are available for C. linearis (Foster 1976), C. The genus Chiroxiphia is composed of five lanceolata (DuVal 2007), C. caudata (Marini et al. manakin (Family: Pipridae) species that range 2007), and C. pareola (Olney 1973). Incubation from Mexico to the Atlantic Forest of south- times are available for C. lanceolata (DuVal ern Brazil). They inhabit a diverse range of 2007) and C. pareola (Olney 1973). Detailed habitats ranging from humid old-growth for- incubation behavior is available only for C. ests to more open second-growth habitats linearis (Foster 1976). Our study provides the (Kirwan & Greene 2012). The Yungas first information on nesting for C. boliviana Manakin (C. boliviana) was split off from the and completes the basic nesting information Blue-backed Manakin (C. pareola) in 1987 for the genus. (Parker & Remsen 1987). It inhabits humid hill forests and frequents open areas between METHODS 600–2200 m a.s.l.
