Nowhere but Northeast Brazil (With S. Bahia Extension to Feb. 5) Field Guides Tour Report Nowhere but Northeast Brazil (with S. Bahia Extension to Feb. 5) Jan 13, 2015 to Jan 30, 2015 Bret Whitney & Marcelo Padua For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The Field Guides 2015 Northeast Brazil tour went like a dream, barely a wrinkle along our 3-plus weeks of birding travels. We like it like that! Sure, there were a few rough moments along the way.... wait a minute, nooo, there actually weren't any hardships to speak of! Well, maybe that time we stopped for Magnum bars and they were out. That was pretty bad, I guess. And now that I think about it, where the heck were the Masked Ducks? Light rains meant few ponds available for them, but all we really wanted was ONE -- not too much to ask (usually)! This was the driest, or second- driest, tour we've ever done. Fortunately, December/early January rains had been good, so the land was generally green and birds singing, but we had hardly a drop of rain through the entire tour and extension, with just one big storm that didn't interrupt our birding at all. If there were anything "major" to complain about, it would have to be that people have done such a thorough job of destroying native habitats that we had to drive The rugged capstones of the Chapada Diamantina make inspiring backdrops for some of the most hours and hours between remnant forests and desert exciting birding on the Field Guides "Nowhere but Northeast Brazil" tour. [Photo copyright Bret scrub just to have a chance of seeing all of the many Whitney] rare birds endemic to Northeast Brazil. To be sure, habitat loss cost us the Pinto's Spinetail this year -- just too much damage to our usual venues, the first time we've dipped on it since Field Guides started birding tourism in Northeast Brazil, in 1993. But darned few other birds escaped our bin's, and our group was an especially fun and congenial one. Among so many highlights from the tour, mention of just a few must include the Lear's Macaws that showed up at exactly the right moment for us to see them really well; it had been an unusually dry season and the licuri palms were nearly devoid of the fruits the macaws largely depend on for food. Araripe Manakins, on the other hand, seemed eager to please, with handsome adult males posing for scope views and photos several times. And how about that Broad-tipped Hermit that came out of the dense brush to meet us face-to-face, then perched to eye us some more? – that bird provided surely the most amazing hummer performance of the 28 species we saw this year. That said, the glowing male Ruby Topaz on the Southern Bahia Extension was a mighty close second, but the hermit is endemic to the Northeast and much more difficult to see really well. Finding four, perhaps even five, Alagoas Antwrens was wonderful and bittersweet at the same time, as recent intensive search of all remaining habitat patches had documented only these few birds at Murici Reserve remaining alive, the very last members of their species. That morning at Murici produced another of our most exciting finds, as we enjoyed lengthy (in time and distance!) scope views of an adult White-collared Kite, one of the world's rarest raptors. Classic Northeast Brazil endemics on the main tour route, such as Great Xenops, Red-shouldered Spinetail, Pectoral Antwren, Caatinga Antwren, Buff- breasted Tody-Tyrant, White-naped Jay, Seven-colored Tanager, Red-cowled Cardinal, and White-throated Seedeater were, as always, seen beautifully. We also thoroughly enjoyed several species that are often somewhat harder to find or see well, such as Pygmy Nightjar, Least Nighthawk, Golden-tailed Parrotlet and Gray-breasted Parakeet (pairs of both species perched low and close!), Scalloped Antbird, Orange-bellied Antwren, Willis's Antbird, Fringe-backed Fire-eye, Alagoas Tyrannulet, Ash-throated Casiornis, Black-headed Berryeater, Scarlet-throated Tanager, Copper Seedeater, and the rare Forbes's Blackbird. Birding the Chapada Diamantina region of interior Bahia was a perfect closer for the main tour. With inspiring landscape and backdrops all around us, fabulous birds like Sincora Antwren, Diamantina Tapaculo, Collared Crescentchest, Rufous-sided Pymgy-Tyrant, Gray-backed Tachuri, the stunning Hooded Visorbearer, the rare and local Brown Violetear (endemic form greenewalti), and Sao Francisco Sparrow all showed perfectly, one by one. Special accolades go to the roster of piculets on this trip, which typically racks up more of these tiny woodpeckers than any other tour! We saw, in order of appearance, Golden-spangled (endemic subspecies pernambucensis, proposed for recognition at the species level), Tawny, Ochraceous, Spotted, and Golden-spangled (nominate subspecies exilis, another endemic population proposed for recognition at the species level). We wrapped up the main tour with a festive swing through old Salvador, one of the oldest cities in the Americas, and capital of Brazil for more than 200 years. I'll drop in a couple of video clips to give you a bit of the flavor of that fun evening! For the first time, in 2015, we offered the southern Bahia section as a separate extension to the main, more northerly route. This is designed to introduce greater flexibility for participants who either don't want to or cannot be away for more than 2 ½ weeks to head home while others can opt to continue for an additional week of birding, much of which is distinctly tempered with the Atlantic Forest realm we bird on our Spectacular Southeast Brazil tours. Most folks did take the Southern Bahia Extension, and it proved to be super-productive, as expected. White-winged Potoo, Hook-billed Hermit, Slender Antbird, Rio de Janeiro Antbird, Narrow-billed Antwren, Bahia Antwren, Band-tailed Antwren, Striated Softtail, Bahia Spinetail, Eastern Striped Manakin, Bahia Tyrannulet, and Pink-legged Graveteiro all did their things for us, and we heartily applauded each fabulous performance. All of these Field Guides Birding Tours • www.fieldguides.com • 800-728-4953 1 are species we do not typically see on any other tour. We added to these an impressive haul of classic Southeast endemics, including Crescent-chested Puffbird, Black-billed Scythebill, Ringed and Yellow-throated woodpeckers (both represented in the Atlantic Forest by highly distinctive, endemic subspecies), Pin-tailed and Swallow-tailed manakins, Spot-backed Antshrike, Spot-breasted Antvireo, Scaled and White-bibbed antbirds, White- shouldered Fire-eye, White-winged Cotinga, Cinnamon-vented Piha, Brazilian and Gilt-edged tanagers, and a singing male Dubois's Seedeater (for what it's worth – probably just the pale end of a cline in Yellow-bellied Seedeater, but it is currently considered a separate species). Finally, a mega-highlight on the extension was having a Giant Snipe come in close to us, giving us perfect views for several minutes as it walked along, stopping to probe in the wet meadow grass, or preen, even singing in the spotlight! It was among the top vote-getters for best bird of the whole tour -- check out the video! On the following list, I'll include comments on a small selection of the above and other species (X means seen/heard only on the extension), and drop in a number of tour photos and video clips for our 2015 group to relive exciting times, and to help folks who are thinking about taking the Northeast Brazil tour gain a good, representative view of what to expect. I do highly recommend taking the **Southern Bahia Extension** if you possibly can – it's super-worthwhile! At the time of this writing (mid-March 2015), we still have several openings on both the main tour and the extension ;-) Marcelo and I send a hearty obrigado com abraços to all of our 2015 tour friends; we had a great time, let's do it again in a different venue of big, beautiful Brazil! --Bretche KEYS FOR THIS LIST One of the following keys may be shown in brackets for individual species as appropriate: * = heard only, I = introduced, E = endemic, N = nesting, a = austral migrant, b = boreal migrant BIRDS Tinamidae (Tinamous) LITTLE TINAMOU (Crypturellus soui) [*] YELLOW­LEGGED TINAMOU (Crypturellus noctivagus) [E] VARIEGATED TINAMOU (Crypturellus variegatus) – X [*] SMALL­BILLED TINAMOU (Crypturellus parvirostris) [*] RED­WINGED TINAMOU (Rhynchotus rufescens) – X [*] SPOTTED NOTHURA (Nothura maculosa) [*] Anatidae (Ducks, Geese, and Waterfowl) WHITE­FACED WHISTLING­DUCK (Dendrocygna viduata) BLACK­BELLIED WHISTLING­DUCK (Dendrocygna autumnalis) COMB DUCK (Sarkidiornis melanotos) – A single adult male came sailing in to a big pond as we were watching lots of other waterfowl ­­ really cool!

  • Brazil's Eastern Amazonia
    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.

  • Brazil North-Eastern Mega Birding Tour 21St September to 12Th October 2017 (22 Days) Trip Report
    Brazil North-eastern Mega Birding Tour 21st September to 12th October 2017 (22 Days) Trip Report Grey-breasted Parakeet by Colin Valentine Trip Report Compiled by Tour Leader, Keith Valentine Rockjumper Birding Tours | Brazil www.rockjumperbirding.com Trip Report – RBL Brazil - North-eastern Mega 2017 2 Simply put, our recently-completed tour of NE Brazil was phenomenal! Our success rate with the region’s most wanted birds was particularly good, and we also amassed an exceptional 103 endemics in the process, which few tours have ever been able to replicate in the past. This was all achieved in just 22 days, which gives an excellent indication of just how good our itinerary is. There are few other tours on the planet that offer the number of threatened, endangered and critically endangered species as NE Brazil. We were sublimely successful in our quest for these, as we enjoyed magnificent encounters with Araripe Manakin, Lear’s Macaw, Grey-breasted, White-eared, Golden-capped and Ochre- marked Parakeets, White-collared Kite, Pink-legged Graveteiro, Hooded Visorbearer, Banded and White-winged Cotingas, White- browed Guan, Red-browed Amazon, Alagoas, Orange-bellied, Pectoral, Sincora, Bahia, Band-tailed and Narrow-billed Antwrens, Slender, Rio de Janeiro and Scalloped Antbirds, Seven-colored Tanager, Minas Gerais, Alagoas and Bahia Tyrannulets, Buff- breasted and Fork-tailed Tody-Tyrants, Bahia Spinetail, Fringe- backed Fire-eye, Hook-billed Hermit, Striated Softtail, Plumbeous Antvireo, White-browed Antpitta, Black-headed Berryeater, Wied’s Tyrant-Manakin, Diamantina Tapaculo, Buff-throated Purpletuft, Black-headed Berryeater by Serra Finch and many others. Colin Valentine Our 22-day adventure began with a short drive east of Fortaleza to the coastal region of Icapui, where our target birds – Little Wood and Mangrove Rails – gave themselves up easily and provided saturation views.

Abstract. – Population density and home range of the Ochraceous Piculet (Picumnus limae) in Northeast Brazil. – The Ochraceous Piculet (Picumnus limae) is an endemic species of the Northeast of Brazil which is listed as endangered nationally. The objective of this study is to generate information on the population density and home range of that species in the Caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte, having collected information in the municipalities of Macau, Guamaré, and Campo Grande. The densities found in the studied areas were similar and higher than current estimates for the species. The home range size varied among the couples studied, as recorded for other species of the same family. These data show the importance of generating new information on Neotropical birds to assess their true status and to define more concrete and effective actions for their conservation. Resumen. – El carpinterito de Ceará (Picumnus limae) es una especie endémica del Nordeste de Brasil que está catalogada como amenazada de extinción a nivel nacional.

  • Birds of Serra Da Capivara National Park, in the "Caatinga" of North-Eastern Brazil FABIO OLMOS
    Bird Conservation International (1993) 3:21-36 Birds of Serra da Capivara National Park, in the "caatinga" of north-eastern Brazil FABIO OLMOS Summary Serra da Capivara National Park covers an area of about 1,300 km2 in south-eastern Piaui, north-eastern Brazil. The park's vegetation is the endemic caatinga, with a few remnants of semi-dedduous forest in some canyons. The area has a reasonable diversity of plants, with 615 catalogued spedes. Since 1986, 208 bird spedes have been observed in the park and its buffer zone, induding 10 threatened or near-threatened spedes, plus two recently extinct in the area. Other spedes are regionally rare and have declined over parts of their distribution. The park also harbours several threatened mammals and caatinga endemics. Despite having been created in 1979 the park remains effectively unprotected and unmanaged. Current levels of poaching and habitat destruction prejudice the future of several spedes, including some that have already vanished from other parts of the caatinga. O Parque National da Serra da Capivara abrange uma area de aproxidamamente 1,300 km2 no sudeste do Piaui, nordeste do Brasil. A vegeta^ao do parque € a caatinga, com alguns endaves de mata semi-deddua. A area possui uma razoaVel diversidade de plantas, com um total de 615 espe'ties ja catalogadas.
