THE BIRDS of JATUN SACHA BIOLOGICAL STATION Napo Province, Ecuador an Inventory, Compiled By THE BIRDS OF JATUN SACHA BIOLOGICAL STATION Napo Province, Ecuador An Inventory, Compiled by: Bonnie Bochan P.O. Box 306 Winterport, Maine 04496 USA REVISED LIST: January, 2008 The following checklist includes the species of birds observed or heard at Jatun Sacha over more than twenty years from January1987 through January 2008. The area covered includes all habitats within the north and south sectors of the reserve from the Río Napo to the Río Arajuno, east to Aliñahui and west to the Chichicorrumi area. Taxonomic order and nomenclature follow The Birds of Ecuador (Ridgely & Greenfield, 2001). Spanish common names are from An annotated List of the Birds of Mainland Ecuador (Ridgely, Greenfield and Guerrero 1998). To date, a total of 563 species have been recorded. The compiler is preparing a monograph The Birds of Jatun Sacha Biological Station, with information on abundance, status, habitat preference, habits, seasonality in movement and vocalization, migration and breeding patterns as well as historical data and interviews. Species noted with an asterisk (*) are very rare or have no recent observations. Species in parenthesis indicate hypothetical status warranting further documentation. Please report any additional species or observations to Bonnie Bochan, Jatun Sacha Biological Station Casilla 515-01-218 Tena, Ecuador or Jatun Sacha Biological Station, Casilla 17-12-867, Quito, Ecuador.

Foram registradas um total de 450 espécies de aves, das quais 63 consideradas de interesse para conservação, como Leucopternis lacernulatus, Harpyhaliaetus coronatus, Triclaria malachitacea, Myrmotherula minor, Dacnis nigripes, Sporophila frontalis e S. falcirostris.

Sao Paulo: Ibiropuera Park. Our first day in Brazil, and with some of us still bleary eyed after a long overnight flight, we set off into the Sao Paulo traffic. Sao Paulo is apparently home to 7 million cars, and it certainly felt like we saw a decent percentage of them! Iberopuera Park is the largest chunk of green space in the city, and is obviously well used by the city people, despite the drizzling rain. Here we met up with Pat and Trish, and our guide for the day Guillermo. A gentle wander through the park gave us our first introduction to the common birds of Brazil. Rufous-bellied Thrush, Sayaca Tanager, Bananaquit, Greater Kiskadee and both Eared and Ruddy Ground Doves were all in evidence, all to be very familiar species during our trip. On the lake we found Pied-billed Grebe, White-faced Whistling Duck, Common Gallinule and a fishing Green Kingfisher.

Over 700 on this tour now! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com Blue-throated Macaws hoping we would clear off and leave them alone (Eustace Barnes) Hopefully, now we hear of colourful endemic macaws, raucous prolific birdlife and innumerable elusive endemic denizens of verdant bromeliad festooned cloud-forests, vast expanses of rainforest, endless marshlands and Chaco woodlands, each ringing to the chorus of a diverse endemic avifauna instead of bleak, freezing landscapes occupied by impoverished unhappy peasants. 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com That is the flowery prose, but Bolivia IS that great destination. The tour is no longer a series of endless dusty journeys punctuated with miserable truck-stop hotels where you are presented with greasy deep-fried chicken and a sticky pile of glutinous rice every day. The roads are generally good, the hotels are either good or at least characterful (in a good way) and the food rather better than you might find in the UK. The latter perhaps not saying very much. Palkachupe Cotinga in the early morning light brooding young near Apolo (Eustace Barnes). That said, Bolivia has work to do too, as its association with that hapless loser, Che Guevara, corruption, dust and drug smuggling still leaves the country struggling to sell itself.

    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.

  • 21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic
    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.
