  • PANAMA's CANOPY TOWER 2019 (With Canopy Lodge Extension)
    Field Guides Tour Report PANAMA'S CANOPY TOWER 2019 (with Canopy Lodge Extension) Feb 3, 2019 to Feb 13, 2019 John Coons, Alexis Sanchez and Danilo Rodriguez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. There were a handful of tanagers we saw just about every day of the trip, and one of those was the Golden-hooded Tanager. Photo by participant Keith Ohmart. It was wonderful to have a week at the Canopy Tower with all of you and explore the varied nearby habitats and the rich birdlife that central Panama has to offer. Birding was great right out the door of the Tower and each day offered new surprises. Starting on our first morning, we had great looks at Green Shrike-Vireo at eye level from the top of the Tower. We enjoyed walking the road where we picked up several cool birds including a pair of Double- toothed Kites in the road with talons locked and scowling at each other. We never did figure out the motive. At Metropolitan Park in Panama City, we happened upon a troop of Howler Monkeys going through the trees that inadvertently flushed a Great Potoo that landed on an exposed limb for a scope look. We enjoyed a morning at the Discovery Center Tower, where we spotted and scoped many species, with a male Blue Cotinga being a highlight. Our night drive on Semaphore Hill yielded a Black-and-white Owl over the road, a Great Tinamou perched in a tree, an armadillo, two species of sloth, two Gray-bellied Night Monkeys, and a Central American Wooly Possum.

  • TOP BIRDING LODGES of PANAMA with the Illinois Ornithological Society
    TOP BIRDING LODGES OF PANAMA WITH IOS: JUNE 26 – JULY 5, 2018 TOP BIRDING LODGES OF PANAMA with the Illinois Ornithological Society June 26-July 5, 2018 Guides: Adam Sell and Josh Engel with local guides Check out the trip photo gallery at www.redhillbirding.com/panama2018gallery2 Panama may not be as well-known as Costa Rica as a birding and wildlife destination, but it is every bit as good. With an incredible diversity of birds in a small area, wonderful lodges, and great infrastructure, we tallied more than 300 species while staying at two of the best birding lodges anywhere in Central America. While staying at Canopy Tower, we birded Pipeline Road and other lowland sites in Soberanía National Park and spent a day in the higher elevations of Cerro Azul. We then shifted to Canopy Lodge in the beautiful, cool El Valle de Anton, birding the extensive forests around El Valle and taking a day trip to coastal wetlands and the nearby drier, more open forests in that area. This was the rainy season in Panama, but rain hardly interfered with our birding at all and we generally had nice weather throughout the trip. The birding, of course, was excellent! The lodges themselves offered great birding, with a fruiting Cecropia tree next to the Canopy Tower which treated us to eye-level views of tanagers, toucans, woodpeckers, flycatchers, parrots, and honeycreepers. Canopy Lodge’s feeders had a constant stream of birds, including Gray-cowled Wood-Rail and Dusky-faced Tanager. Other bird highlights included Ocellated and Dull-mantled Antbirds, Pheasant Cuckoo, Common Potoo sitting on an egg(!), King Vulture, Black Hawk-Eagle being harassed by Swallow-tailed Kites, five species of motmots, five species of trogons, five species of manakins, and 21 species of hummingbirds.

  • Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (Custom Tour)
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador 18th November – 6th December 2019 Hummingbirds were a big feature of this tour; with 58 hummingbird species seen, that included some very rare, restricted range species, like this Blue-throated Hillstar. This critically-endangered species was only described in 2018, following its discovery a year before that, and is currently estimated to number only 150 individuals. This male was seen multiple times during an afternoon at this beautiful, high Andean location, and was widely voted by participants as one of the overall highlights of the tour (Sam Woods). Tour Leader: Sam Woods Photos: Thanks to participant Chris Sloan for the use of his photos in this report. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador ranks as one of the most popular South American tours among professional bird guides (not a small claim on the so-called “Bird Continent”!); the reasons are simple, and were all experienced firsthand on this tour… Ecuador is one of the top four countries for bird species in the World; thus high species lists on any tour in the country are a given, this is especially true of the south of Ecuador. To illustrate this, we managed to record just over 600 bird species on this trip (601) of less than three weeks, including over 80 specialties. This private group had a wide variety of travel experience among them; some had not been to South America at all, and ended up with hundreds of new birds, others had covered northern Ecuador before, but still walked away with 120 lifebirds, and others who’d covered both northern Ecuador and northern Peru, (directly either side of the region covered on this tour), still had nearly 90 new birds, making this a profitable tour for both “veterans” and “South American Virgins” alike.

  • Costa Rica Custom Tour Trip Report
    COSTA RICA CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 16 FEBRUARY – 5 MARCH 2020 By Eduardo Ormaeche Ornate Hawk-Eagle www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Costa Rica: February 2020 Overview Our Costa Rica 2020 tour was a photographic trip focusing on the birds and wildlife that this fascinating country has to offer. Without the rush to build a large list of species but rather with the intention to get a large amount of good photos while enjoying bird sightings and behavior we had a fantastic time on our trip. We started our trip in Alajuela near San José’s Juan Santamaría International Airport and from there drove across the country, visiting different areas including the Caribbean lowlands in the north with obligatory stops at La Selva Biological Station, Sarapiquí, the Cinchona feeders, and the private Donde Cope nature center. Our time here was fantastic; we had the opportunity to see and photograph birds such as the endemic Coppery-headed Emerald, Black-bellied Hummingbird, Semiplumbeous Hawk, Great Green Macaw, White-tipped Sicklebill, Great Potoo, Spectacled Owl, Violet Sabrewing, Red-headed Barbet, Prong-billed Barbet, Blue-throated Toucanet, Yellow-throated Toucan, Keel-billed Toucan, White- necked Puffbird, Buff-fronted Quail-Dove, Black Guan, Buff-rumped Warbler, and the fabulous Snowcap. Our trip continued to the cloudforest mountains at San Gerardo de Dota at the famous Savegre Hotel, where we managed to record species such as Large-footed Finch, Yellow-thighed Finch, Spotted Wood Quail, Wrenthrush, Hairy Woodpecker, Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, Black- and-yellow Phainoptila, Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Acorn Woodpecker, Slaty Flowerpiercer, Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Talamanca Hummingbird, Volcano Junco, Timberline Wren, and the most-wanted Resplendent Quetzal.

    Panama Birding at Canopy Tower and Lodge March 16 to March 24, 2017 With Bill Gette Optional extension: Birding the Darién Region March 24 – April 1, 2017 Canopy Tower and Soberanía National Park, photo courtesy of Canopy Tower This very special trip begins at the Canopy Tower, located deep in the forest of Soberanía National Park, Panama's premier national park. Here we will wake up to a tropical chorus of motmots, toucans, and fruitcrows. In the cool Panamanian dawn, we can feel the great rainforest awakening around us since our bedrooms are at treetop level, no more than 40 feet from the birds. Blue Cotingas and Green Shrike- Vireos perch right outside our windows. From here we will explore the area, including the famous Achiote Road, where over 340 species are regularly counted during the Christmas Bird Count. We will then spend a few days in the charming village of El Valle (a mecca of local crafts), where we will explore the foothills of Panama, using the Canopy Lodge as our base. For those interested in the bird-dense Darien region, an optional extension runs from March 24 to April 1. Panama Birding 2017 Day-to-Day Itinerary – Main Tour Day 1: Thursday, March 16 ~ Arrive in Panama Please plan to arrive at Tocumen International Airport near Panama City in the early afternoon. We will be met by hotel staff and driven to the Canopy Tower. The one-hour drive passes by a portion of the Panama Canal where we may see shipping vessels transiting the Canal and Magnificent Frigatebirds overhead.

It sits atop 900-foot Semaphore Hill overlooking Soberania National Park. While its rooms are rather spartan, the food is Panama’s Canopy Tower © Ruthie Stearns excellent and the opportunity to view birds at dawn from the 360º rooftop Observation Deck above the treetops is outstanding. Twenty minutes away is the start of the famous Pipeline Road, possibly one of the best birding roads in Central and South America. From our base, daily birding outings are made to various locations in Central Panama, which vary from the primary forest around the tower, to huge mudflats near Panama City and, finally, to cool Cerro Azul and Cerro Jefe forest. An enticing example of what awaits visitors to this marvelous birding paradise can be found in excerpts taken from the Journal I write during every tour and later e- mail to participants. These are taken from my 17-page, January 2019 Journal. On our first day at Canopy Tower, with 5 of the 8 participants having arrived, we were touring the Observation Deck on top of Canopy Tower when Ruthie looked up and called my attention to a bird flying in our direction...it was a Black Hawk-Eagle! I called down to others on the floor below and we watched it disappear into the distant clouds.

  • Nest, Eggs and Reproductive Behavior of Greenish Schiffornis (Schiffornis Virescens)
    Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 25(4): 273–276. SHORT-COMMUNICARTICLEATION December 2017 Nest, eggs and reproductive behavior of Greenish Schiffornis (Schiffornis virescens) Alejandro Bodrati1,2,5 & Kristina L. Cockle1,3,4 1 Proyecto Selva de Pino Paraná, Vélez Sarsfield y San Jurjo s/n (3352) San Pedro, Misiones, Argentina. 2 Grupo FALCO, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 3 Instituto de Bio y Geociencias del NOA (IBIGEO-CONICET-UNSa), 9 de julio 14 (4405), Rosario de Lerma, Salta, Argentina. 4 Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, University of British Columbia, 2424 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada. 5 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 18 October 2017. Accepted on 28 December 2017. ABSTRACT: Schiffornis (Aves: Tityridae) includes seven species of Neotropical forest birds whose breeding biology is poorly known. We studied three nests of Greenish Schiffornis (Schiffornis virescens) in the Atlantic Forest of Misiones, Argentina. Nests were bulky cups of dead leaves and other vegetative fibres, lined with Marasmius rhizomorphs and fine rootlets. They were attached laterally to tree fern (Alsophila procera) stems, supported from below, and camouflaged by abundant epiphytes and tree fern petioles. Each contained three eggs, which were creamy white speckled with chestnut. Only one adult was seen to incubate, with on-bouts of 65, 69 and 89 min, and off-bouts of 18, 25 and 28 min. Two nests were depredated at the incubation stage, and the third was not followed. Considering that no Schiffornis nest has been followed to fledging, we strongly encourage researchers and bird watchers to be alert to Schiffornis flushing in the understory, and to follow nests to completion whenever possible.

It is a country where civilizations battled and merged, and where breathtaking archaeological ruins jut out from pristine rainforest inhabited by myriad birds displaying a seemingly endless variety of colours and plumage. Although the Spanish arrived in the 1500s and displaced the indigenous Mayan people, in many ways this still feels like their place, the place of the Maya.
