Malavé-Moreno e Hillary Cabrera Museo de Historia Natural La Salle, Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales, Caracas, Venezuela. [email protected] Resumen.– Los estudios dirigidos a caracterizar la avifauna asociada a morichales en Venezuela son pocos. El objetivo del pre- sente trabajo fue caracterizar de manera preliminar la avifauna de un morichal del sur de Venezuela, a través de observaciones de campo y capturas con redes, tomando en cuenta su riqueza específica, composición de especies y estructura trófica. La riqueza específica alcanzó 59 especies, de las cuales tres representan nuevos registros para los morichales en Venezuela: el Pla- yerito Solitario Tringa solitaria, el Martín Pescador Matraquero Chloroceryle amazona y el Canario de Sabana Sicalis columbiana. Cuatro especies fueron migratorias: el Playero Coleador Actitis macularius, el Playero Solitario, la Reinita de los Charcos Parkesia noveboracensis (boreales) y el Atrapamoscas Tijereta Tyrannus savana (austral). No hubo registros de aves endémicas, pero dos se consideran casi amenazadas según los criterios de conservación de Venezuela: el Tarotaro Cercibis oxycerca y la Cigüeña Ciconia maguari. Las aves registradas se incluyeron en nueve gremios tróficos, de los cuales los consumidores de invertebrados fueron los mejor representados con el 30% de las especies registradas. Los datos obtenidos revelan la importancia del morichal estudiado en la conservación de la avifauna local e intercontinental como hábitat para aves residentes y migratorias, algunas incluso bajo régimen especial de conservación.

Portachuelo Pass is an important route for migratory birds between northern South America and the Southern Cone. During 11 months of sampling between 2010 and 2012, we captured 1,460 birds belonging to 125 identified species, 29 families, and 9 orders. The families with the highest relative abundance and species richness were Trochilidae and Thraupidae and the most common species were the Violet-chested Hummingbird (Sternoclyta cyanopectus), Olive-striped Flycatcher (Mionectes olivaceus), Plain-brown Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa), Orange-bellied Euphonia (Euphonia xanthogaster), Violet-fronted Brilliant (Heliodoxa leadbeateri), Vaux’s Swift (Chaetura vauxi), Red-eared Parakeet (Pyrrhura hoematotis), Golden-tailed Sapphire (Chrysuronia oenone), Black-hooded Thrush (Turdus olivater), and Gray-rumped Swift (Chaetura cinereiventris). These species represented 52.4% of total captures and 8.0% of identified species. We captured 5 endemic species and 8 migratory species. The months of greatest relative abundance and species richness were June and July 2010 and January 2011. Birds captured belonged to the following feeding guilds: insectivorous, nectarivorous-insectivorous, frugivorous, frugivorous-insectivorous, granivorous, frugivorous-folivorous, omnivorous, carnivorous, and frugivorous-graniv- orous.

  • Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & EAST ANDEAN FOOTHILLS EXTENSION
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) A Tropical Birding custom extension Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & EAST ANDEAN FOOTHILLS EXTENSION th nd 27 January - 2 February 2021 The main motivation for this custom extension was this Harpy Eagle. This was one of an unusually accessible nesting pair near the Amazonian town of Limoncocha that provided a worthy add-on to The Andes Introtour in northwest Ecuador that preceded this (Jose Illanes/Tropical Birding Tours). Guided by Jose Illanes Birds in the photos within this report are denoted in RED, all photos were taken by the Tropical Birding guide. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) INTRODUCTION This custom extension trip was set up for one person who simply could not get enough of Ecuador…John had just finished Ecuador: The Andes Introtour, in the northwest of the country, and also joined the High Andes Extension to that tour, which sampled the eastern highlands too. However, he was still missing vast chunks of this small country that is bursting with bird diversity. Most importantly, he was keen to get in on the latest “mega bird” in Ecuador, a very accessible Harpy Eagle nest, near a small Amazonian town, which had been hitting the local headlines and drawing the few birding tourists in the country at this time to come see it. With this in mind, TROPICAL BIRDING has been offering custom add-ons to all of our Ecuador offerings (for 2021 and 2022) to see this Harpy Eagle pair, with only three extra days needed to see it.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SECRETIVE MARSHBIRDS of URBAN WETLANDS in the WASHINGTON, DC METROPOLITAN AREA Patrice Nielson
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SECRETIVE MARSHBIRDS OF URBAN WETLANDS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC METROPOLITAN AREA Patrice Nielson, Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Dissertation directed by: Dr. William Bowerman and Dr. Andrew Baldwin Environmental Science and Technology Secretive marshbirds are in decline across their range and are species of greatest conservation need in state Wildlife Action Plans. However, their secretive nature means there is relatively sparse information available on their ecology. There is demand for this information in the Washington, DC area for updating conservation plans and guiding wetland restoration. Rapid Wetland Assessment Methods are often used to monitor success of restoration but it is unknown how well they indicate marshbird habitat. Using the Standardized North American Marshbird Monitoring Protocol, I surveyed 51 points in 25 marshes in the DC area in 2013 – 2015. I also collected data on marsh area, buffer width, vegetation/water interspersion, vegetation characteristics, flooding, and invertebrates. At each bird survey point I assessed wetland quality using the Floristic Quality Assessment Index (FQAI) and California Rapid Wetland Assessment (CRAM) methods. I used Program Presence to model detection and occupancy probabilities of secretive marshbirds as a function of habitat variables. I found king rails (Rallus elegans) at five survey sites and least bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) at thirteen survey sites. Secretive marshbirds were using both restored and natural marshes, marshes with and without invasive plant species, and marshes with a variety of dominant vegetation species. King rail occupancy was positively correlated with plant diversity and invertebrate abundance and weakly negatively correlated with persistent vegetation. Least bittern occupancy was strongly negatively correlated woody vegetation and invertebrate abundance and weakly positively correlated with persistent vegetation.

  • Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco)
    Visiting a lek of the stunning Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock is definitely a must for any birder. And there´s no better place to do it than Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco) SURINAME 23 FEBRUARY – 9/14 MARCH 2015 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ VELASCO and SEAN DILROSUN On our third tour to Suriname we amassed a great list of Guianan specialities, next to a splendid selection of more widespread, but rarely seen species. Our intrepid group recorded 404 species of birds, 16 mammals and some lovely ‘herps’ in this little country with its surface of about eight times Wales and its population of just over half a million people. We visited five different areas comprising three distinct ecosystems. It started with a short visit to the white sand grasslands and scrub of central Suriname where Black-faced Hawk, Bronzy Jacamar, Point-tailed Palmcreeper, Saffron-crested Tyrant–Manakin, Black Manakin and Glossy- backed Becard grabbed our attention. It continued with the famous Raleigh Falls and the Voltzberg, where many Guianan Cocks-of-the-Rock put on an unforgettable show on their lek, while other major avian highlights included brilliant Pompadour Cotingas, massive Black-throated and the very localized Band-tailed 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Suriname www.birdquest-tours.com Antshrikes and delightful Red-billed Pied Tanagers. The misty forests of the Brownsberg were lighted up by incredibly tame Grey-winged Trumpeters and Black Curassows, rare Racket-tailed and stunning Tufted Coquettes, gaudy Blue-backed Tanagers and delicate White-fronted Manakins, colorful Rose-breasted Chats and much wanted Red-and black Grosbeaks. The coastal area held goodies like Scarlet Ibis, Rufous Crab Hawk, localized Arrowhead Piculets and Blood-coloured Woodpeckers and striking Crimson-hooded Manakins.

    Field Guides Tour Report Succinct Suriname: Cotingas & Trumpeters 2020 Jan 18, 2020 to Jan 29, 2020 Dave Stejskal & Micah Riegner with Sean Dilrosun For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. We were able to get eyeball-to-eyeball views of several incomparable male Guianan Cocks-of-the-rock at Fredberg. (photo by guide Micah Riegner) This was the first 'official' run of our revamped Succinct Suriname tour, and I'd have to say that it was roaring success! With productive visits to all four of our varied habitat venues, we really cleaned up on the overwhelming majority of the possible Guianan Shield specialties. The generally good weather helped us out – as did that nice guide/client ratio! After a late-arriving flight from Miami at the start of the tour, our eager group wanted to get out there and start birding right away. So, it was off to Peperpot Nature Park across the Suriname River for an excellent morning of birding in the coastal plain habitats. The old, overgrown coffee and cacao plantation at this site held some of our most localized targets – Arrowhead Piculet & Blood-colored Woodpecker – both eventually showing well. A stunning Cream-colored Woodpecker and a male Crimson-hooded Manakin were breathtaking to see. We also had a great morning with the antbirds in this habitat, scoring on not only nominate Blackish Antbird, but also Silvered, White-browed, Black-chinned, and Black-throated antbirds, too! We'd go on to tally some 40 species of "antthings" during the course of this tour.
