  • TOUR REPORT Southwestern Amazonia 2017 Final
    For the first time on a Birdquest tour, the Holy Grail from the Brazilian Amazon, Rondonia Bushbird – male (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S SOUTHWESTERN AMAZONIA 7 / 11 - 24 JUNE 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL What an impressive and rewarding tour it was this inaugural Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia. Sixteen days of fine Amazonian birding, exploring some of the most fascinating forests and campina habitats in three different Brazilian states: Rondonia, Amazonas and Acre. We recorded over five hundred species (536) with the exquisite taste of specialties from the Rondonia and Inambari endemism centres, respectively east bank and west bank of Rio Madeira. At least eight Birdquest lifer birds were acquired on this tour: the rare Rondonia Bushbird; Brazilian endemics White-breasted Antbird, Manicore Warbling Antbird, Aripuana Antwren and Chico’s Tyrannulet; also Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher, Acre Tody-Tyrant and the amazing Rufous Twistwing. Our itinerary definitely put together one of the finest selections of Amazonian avifauna, though for a next trip there are probably few adjustments to be done. The pre-tour extension campsite brings you to very basic camping conditions, with company of some mosquitoes and relentless heat, but certainly a remarkable site for birding, the Igarapé São João really provided an amazing experience. All other sites 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com visited on main tour provided considerably easy and very good birding. From the rich east part of Rondonia, the fascinating savannas and endless forests around Humaitá in Amazonas, and finally the impressive bamboo forest at Rio Branco in Acre, this tour focused the endemics from both sides of the medium Rio Madeira.

    24 Ornitología Colombiana No.6 (2008):24-65 NOTES ON TAPACULOS (PASSERIFORMES: RHINOCRYPTIDAE) OF THE EASTERN ANDES OF COLOMBIA AND THE VENEZUELAN ANDES, WITH A NEW SUBSPECIES OF SCYTALOPUS GRISEICOLLIS FROM COLOMBIA Notas sobre tapaculos (Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae) de la Cordillera Oriental de Colombia y los Andes venezolanos, con una nueva subespecie de Scytalopus griseicollis de Colombia Thomas M. Donegan ProAves Foundation, Caversham, Reading, UK. [email protected], [email protected] Jorge Enrique Avendaño-C. 1 Escuela de Biología, Universidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga, Colombia [email protected] ABSTRACT We analysed biometrics, plumage and voice and inspected specimens to study the taxonomy of various high elevation tapaculos Scytalopus of the Eastern Andes of Colombia and the Mérida Andes of Venezuela. In light of a lack of any diagnostic vocal, plumage or biometric character, we propose treating S. infasciatus as a subjective junior synonym of S. griseicollis . S. fuscicauda and S. meridanus are indistinguishable by morphology, but we propose treating S. fuscicauda as a subspecies of S. meridanus in light of small observed differences in introductions to songs, which require further investigation. As the names were published contemporaneously, we propose priority for S. meridanus over S. fuscicauda . S. meridanus and S. griseicollis as redefined are each diagnosable vocally, supporting species rank for both of them. S. griseicollis gilesi subsp. nov. is described from the Yariguíes mountains. The new subspecies differs from S. griseicollis in its darker plumage, lower acoustic frequency scolds and longer tail. The recently discovered Eastern Andes population of S. spillmanni differs from Ecuadorian populations in its shorter tarsus length and slower song, meeting the requirements for some, but not all, subspecies concepts.

  • 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.

Instituto Federal do Sul de Minas, Campus Inconfidentes. 2. Departamento de Entomologia, Universidade Federal de Lavras. EntomoBrasilis 10 (1): 51-53 (2017) Abstract. The success of social wasps is highly dependent on nest construction and colony maintenance. Species use different strategies to avoid nest predation, including forming associations with other insects and vertebrates. This study describes for the first time the association between the social wasp Chartergus globiventris Saussure and the yellow-olive flycatcher Tolmomyias sulphurescens Spix in a deciduous seasonal forest fragment in southeastern Brazil. We located eight active C. globiventris colonies in the study site, three of which were associated with active T. sulphurescens nests. Bird-wasp associations in previous studies have been regarded as commensalism because only birds seem to benefit. However, further studies are needed to better understand the potential benefits of this relationship for both taxa. Keywords: Bird nest; Hymenoptera; interaction; nesting; social wasp. Associações de nidificação entreChartergus globiventris Saussure (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) e Tolmomyias sulphurescens Spix (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) no sudeste do Brasil Resumo. O sucesso das espécies de vespas sociais está relacionado tanto a construção quanto a manutenção das colônias. Várias espécies utilizam de diversas estratégias para evitar a predação de seus ninhos, como a associação com outros insetos e vertebrados.

  • Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016 SOUTHEAST BRAZIL: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna October 20th – November 8th, 2016 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos by Nick Athanas Helmeted Woodpecker - one of our most memorable sightings of the tour It had been a couple of years since I last guided this tour, and I had forgotten how much fun it could be. We covered a lot of ground and visited a great series of parks, lodges, and reserves, racking up a respectable group list of 459 bird species seen as well as some nice mammals. There was a lot of rain in the area, but we had to consider ourselves fortunate that the rainiest days seemed to coincide with our long travel days, so it really didn’t cost us too much in the way of birds. My personal trip favorite sighting was our amazing and prolonged encounter with a rare Helmeted Woodpecker! Others of note included extreme close-ups of Spot-winged Wood-Quail, a surprise Sungrebe, multiple White-necked Hawks, Long-trained Nightjar, 31 species of antbirds, scope views of Variegated Antpitta, a point-blank Spotted Bamboowren, tons of colorful hummers and tanagers, TWO Maned Wolves at the same time, and Giant Anteater. This report is a bit light on text and a bit heavy of photos, mainly due to my insane schedule lately where I have hardly had any time at home, but all photos are from the tour. www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016 The trip started in the city of Curitiba.

  • Field Identification of Phylloscartes and Phyllomyias Tyrannulets in the Atlantic Forest Region
    Field identification of Phylloscartes and Phyllomyias tyrannulets in the Atlantic forest region Robert P. Clay, Joe A. Tobias, James C. Lowen and David Beadle Las mosquetas de los géneros Phylloscartes y Phyllomyias están consideradas entre las aves más difíciles de identificar en el Neotrópico. Discutimos aquí los caracteres diagnósticos de 15 especies encontradas en la región del bosque Atlántico de Brasil, Argentina y Paraguay. Una combinación de elementos del plumaje, comportamiento y vocalizaciones permiten identificar casi todas las mosquetas en el campo. Por lo menos 11 de las 15 especies poseen problemas de conservación. Una identificación certera es un prerequisito para evaluar efectivamente su estatus y distribución, y se espera que este artículo sea una herramienta benéfica en la colecta de datos sobre estas especies, muchas de las cuáles permanecen poco conocidas. Os tiranídeos dos gêneros Phylloscartes e Phyllomyias são considerados como sendo algumas das aves mais difíceis de serem identificadas do Neotrópico. Nós discutimos as características diagnósticas de 15 espécies encontradas na região da Floresta Atlântica do Brasil, Argentina e Paraguai. Uma combinação de caracteres de plumágem, características comportamentais e vocalizações permitem que a maioria destes tiranídeos possam ser identificados no campo. Pelo menos 11 das 15 espécies são importantes desde o ponto de vista da sua conservação. A sua correta identificação é um pré-requisito para que os seus status e distribuições possam ser determinados de forma efetiva, e se espera que este artigo se torne uma útil ferramenta na coleta de novos dados sobre estas espécies, várias das quais continuam sendo muito pouco conhecidas. There are quite a dozen species of these birds somewhat like one another and hard to separate in the dim lights and shades of the forest.
