Day 1 - January 30 Optional day-trip to Carara National Park Guides Vernon and Frank offered an optional day trip to Carara National Park before the tour officially began and all tour participants took advantage of this special opportunity. As such, we are including the sightings from this day trip in the overall tour report. We departed the Hotel at 05:40 for the drive to the National Park. En route we stopped along the road to view a beautiful Turquoise-browed Motmot.

    INTRODUCTION TO TROPICAL BIODIVERSITY October 14-22, 2019 Sponsored by the Canopy Family and Naturalist Journeys Participants: Linda, Maria, Andrew, Pete, Ellen, Hsin-Chih, KC and Cathie Guest Scientists: Drs. Carol Simon and Howard Topoff Canopy Guides: Igua Jimenez, Dr. Rosa Quesada, Danilo Rodriguez and Danilo Rodriguez, Jr. Prepared by Carol Simon and Howard Topoff Our group spent four nights in the Panamanian lowlands at the Canopy Tower and another four in cloud forest at the Canopy Lodge. In very different habitats, and at different elevations, conditions were optimal for us to see a great variety of birds, butterflies and other insects and arachnids, frogs, lizards and mammals. In general we were in the field twice a day, and added several night excursions. We also visited cultural centers such as the El Valle Market, an Embera Village, the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal and the BioMuseo in Panama City, which celebrates Panamanian biodiversity. The trip was enhanced by almost daily lectures by our guest scientists.

    Lapa Rios Bird Checklist Lapa Rios Bird Checklist The birds listed as "have been seen" at Lapa Rios include the Reserve itself as well as sighthings in the Matapalo (beach) area, in and around Puerto Jiménez and along the road from Puerto Jiménez to Lapa Rios; a distance of approximately 19 kilometers (11 miles). Lapa Rios is a private Biological Preserve of approximately 1000 acres. Access to its trail system is only through the permission of the management. The trail inmmediately adjacent to the main lodge can be explored without a staff guide, but a staff guide is required for any excursion into the interior of the preserve or along the Carbonera River. STATUS CODE: A = "Abundant" - many seen or heard daily in appropriate habitat/season and/or in large groups at frequent intervals. C = "Common" - consistently recorded in appropiate habitat/season and/or in large groups at frequent intervals. U = "Uncommon" - recorded regularly but with longer intervals and in small numbers. R = "Rare" - recorded in very small numbers or on really rare occasions. Acc = "Accidental" - recorded only a few times at Lapa Rios sometimes far out of its normal range and not likely to recur. Ex = "Extinct"- considered to be extint in the wild, with no populations on the country and only few sightings in the last years.

Background and Objectives: To compare bird species richness and assemblage in tropical dry forests (TDFs) of different ages of recovery from cattle ranching and relate both to forest structural characteristics. Materials and Methods: To sample bird species richness and assemblage in 16 successional forest of different ages (i.e., 20, 30, 40, and 60 years old) using autonomous sound recording units in the TDFs in Costa Rica. Results: A total of 64 species of birds was detected across all forest age classes. The highest species richness was found in the 20-year-old class. Species richness decreased as canopy openness increased, suggesting low forest structural complexity and low availability of perches, nesting sites and food sources.

Avenida Lomas de Arena, Casilla 3566, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Abstract We surveyed the Serrania Sadiri for birds at elevations between 500-950m for a combined total of 15 days in three different months. The area surveyed was along the Tumupasa/San Jose de Uchupiamones trail at the edge of Parque Nacional Madidi in Depto. La Paz, Bolivia. We report observations of 231 species of birds detected by sight and sound, including many outlying ridge specialists. We report and present photographs of a new species for Depto. La Paz (Caprimulgis nigrescens), the second Bolivian localities for Porphyrolaema prophyrolaema, Zimerius cinereicapillus, and Basileuterus chrysogaster, and five new species records for Parque Nacional Madidi. Introduction Foothills and outlying ridges of the Andes are From the small village of Tumupasa (14°8'46" S, often very difficult or impossible to access. As a 67°53'17" W; 400 m a.s.l; Figures 1 and 2), an old result, many of the specialist bird species in these trail leads generally southwest over the Serrania areas are poorly known and some only recently Sadiri to the town of San Jose de Uchupiamones described, and these areas generally have unique (14°12'47" S, 68°03'14" W; 520 m a.s.l).

  • Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands
    MANAUS, BRAZIL: AMAZON RAINFOREST & RIVER ISLANDS OCTOBER 8-21, 2020 ©2019 The Brazilian city of Manaus is nestled deep in the heart of the incomparable Amazon rainforest, the greatest avian-rich ecosystem on the planet! This colorful, bustling city is perfectly positioned at the junction of the world’s two mightiest rivers, the Amazon and Rio Negro, where vast quantities of the warm, black water of the Negro collide with immense volumes of cooler, silt-laden whitewater of the Amazon flowing down from the Andes. The two rivers flow side-by-side for kilometers before completely mixing (due to the major difference in temperature), forming the famous “wedding of the waters” where two species of freshwater dolphins are regularly seen, including the legendary Pink River Dolphin (males reaching 185 kilograms (408 lbs.) and 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.) in length). A male Guianan Cock-of-the-rock on a lek has to be one of the world’s most spectacular birds. © Andrew Whittaker Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands, Page 2 The Amazon and its immense waterways have formed many natural biogeographical barriers to countless birds and animals, allowing for heightened speciation over countless millions of years. The result is a legion of distinctly different yet sibling species found on opposite river banks. Prime examples on this trip include Gilded versus Black-spotted barbets, Amazonian versus Guianan trogon, Black-necked versus Guianan red-cotinga, White-browed versus Dusky purpletufts, White-necked versus Guianan puffbird, Orange-cheeked versus Caica parrots, White-cheeked versus Rufous-throated antbird, and Rufous-bellied versus Golden-sided euphonia, etc., thus making Manaus a perfect base for the exploration of the exotic mega rich avifauna of the unique heart of Amazonia.
