Trip Report – RBL – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 2

Tour Summary The list of highlights for this Colombia Mega Tour was long, not surprisingly, since we recorded nearly 950 . The top of the tour as chosen by participants was the Hooded Antpitta with honorable mentions given to Blue-billed and Black Curassows, Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle, Rufescent Screech Owl, Fiery , White-tipped Quetzal, , Barbet, and Guianan Cock-of-the-rock. The tour was also filled with surprises and many firsts for the tour, most notably Rio Negro Gnatcatcher in Mitu, a rare bird that has only been recorded a handful of times in Colombia, and the recently rediscovered Antioquia Brushfinch. We were treated to lengthy studies of this endangered brushfinch with no less than six seen at the site of rediscovery north of Medellin. Some other fun statistics are that we recorded an astonishing 83 species of , 53 species of ovenbirds, and 55 species of , which are always a favorite. Another surprise were the 11 species of , all of which were seen with good to excellent views, quite a feat! The tour encompassed nearly the entire length and breadth of Colombia, ranging from the steamy Amazon around Mitu to the freezing paramo in the Sierra Los Nevados, the cloud Hooded Antpitta by Stephan Lorenz forests in between, through lowland jungle and dry forests of the Magdalena and Cauca Valleys, and ending in the endemic rich Santa Marta Mountains with a grand finale in the desert scrub of the Guajira Peninsula. We amassed an astounding total of more than 900 species, including around 60 country endemics and 75 near-endemics. Although the weather provided some challenges with much fog and wind in the highlands and dry conditions in the lowlands, we persisted, returning home with a treasure trove of birding memories. ______Tour in Detail Since everyone arrived a day or several hours early, we decided to start the tour with some extra birding at the productive Laguna Tabacal near Bogota. We met midmorning after everyone had the opportunity to check-in and, following introductions, tackled our first section of Bogota traffic. Fortunately, the traffic was not too slow, and we were soon rolling out of Bogota towards the lower Andean slopes to the west of the city. We reached the reserve just after lunchtime and entered along the main trail. Here, we quickly located the endemic and range-restricted Velvet-fronted Euphonia with two males and a female offering close studies. We then followed one of the narrower trails recording plenty of excellent species along the way, including Plain Antvireo, heard only Jet , and White-bellied Antbird that showed exceedingly well for such a skulking species. Other finds included White-bearded , Sooty- headed and Golden-faced Tyrannulets, localized Speckle-breasted Wren, Grey-headed Tanager, the near- endemic Scrub Tanager, and several migrant warblers rounded out our visit to Laguna Tabacal. We then continued to Jardin Encantado, an impressive set of feeders in a small town on the way back towards Bogota. We did not have as much time as we had hoped for, but still found ten species of

Afterward, we traveled back to Bogota where we enjoyed a delicious welcome dinner and the official start to the tour at the hotel.

Our first full day of the tour started with an early departure and breakfast on the road from the hotel, a routine we would follow for the next four weeks. Our main destination for the day was the Chingaza area to the east of Bogota where a mixture of paramo, cloud forest, scrub, and wetlands hold a variety of specialties and endemics. We, of course, focused on the endemics of the area and in between tried to scoop up as many species as possible. After a nearly two-hour journey, we arrived at the high point on the road towards the Bioandina area and were greeted by thick fog and drizzle, which persisted for most of the morning. We got right into the birding though and after some searching Golden-faced Tyrannulet by Stephan Lorenz found the Ochre-breasted Brushfinch and very localized species on this itinerary. We also added our first Andean Guans, Band-tailed Pigeon, Golden-headed Quetzal that showed very well despite the fog, a pair of showy Black-billed Mountain , flighty Smoky-brown , and Slaty Brushfinch. After reaching the open habitat along the road, we birded the edge of the scrub and forest patches getting good views of Glowing and Coppery-bellied Pufflegs, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, Mountain Velvetbreast, responsive Pale-naped Brushfinches, and Black and White-sided Flowerpiercers. We walked back down along the road for quite some distance, a strategy that proved successful since we found two or three feeding flocks that included the stunning Crimson-mantled Woodpecker, Pearled Treerunner, Green-and-black Fruiteater, White-banded, White-throated, and Black- capped Tyrannulets, Rufous-breasted and Brown-backed Chat-Tyrants, Grey-breasted Wood-Wren, Golden-fronted Whitestart, Superciliaried Hemispingus, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanagers, and Blue- capped and Blue-and-black Tanagers, wow what a great haul of birds. Yet, despite the busy morning, we were still missing the main Green-and-black Fruiteater by Stephan Lorenz target of the area, the endangered and endemic Flame-winged Parakeet. The weather had not improved, but we did not want to give up. We wandered down the road a bit and then back up, deciding to take a short break for water and snacks by the van paid off when a small flock of parakeets shot into a tree downslope. We quickly got onto them with binoculars, but they flew before the scope was ready. Luckily, they came towards us and landed very close to the road for some of the best views possible of this scarce species — in the end, our

With the major target under our belts, we drove back to a nearby town and enjoyed a local lunch. Then we carried on to the Siecha Gravel Pits, despite the unpromising name this is one of the best sites for the impressive Noble Snipe. The surroundings of the gravel pits and marshes are changing fast and we had to wait for permission from a local landowner to enter. While we waited to enter, a pair of Whistling Herons flew by at a distance and we had excellent views, an unexpected species for the area and big surprise on this itinerary. At first, things looked dry from a distance, but once we got nearer it was clear that water and the birds were still present. On the open water, we quickly found Blue-winged and Andean Teals, Andean Duck, Pied-billed Grebe, and in the reed-fringed wetlands, we instantly lured out the endemic Bogota Rail, found half-dozen Noble Snipes and a single migrant Wilson’s Snipe. In the reeds and nearby fields, we also added Yellow-hooded Blackbird and Grassland Yellow Finch as a bonus. After such fast-paced birding, we moved on to the Observatorio de Colibris, where we enjoyed a relaxed hour or two of watching a diverse array of by Stephan Lorenz hummingbirds visiting the well-placed feeders. In fact, we would visit more than a dozen hummingbird feeder setups before the tour was over, each with their own set of species and specialties. While overall hummingbird activity was low in terms of numbers, a trend that continued throughout the tour, overall diversity was excellent and we got exactly what we came for. While some species were only present in singles or twos, we enjoyed great views of Sparkling Violetear, Black-tailed and Green-tailed Trainbearers, Tyrian Metaltail, Glowing, and Coppery-bellied Pufflegs, Blue-throated Starfrontlet, the one-of-a-kind Sword-billed Hummingbird, Great Sapphirewing, and White-bellied Woodstar. Before the final return to Bogota, we made one more strategic stop to catch up with excellent views of the endemic and occasionally tricky Silvery- throated Spinetail. After such a long day filled with lifers, we welcomed a celebratory dinner back at the hotel in Bogota.

Today was mainly a travel day, with an early afternoon flight scheduled to Mitu and the Colombian Amazon. We had plans to make the most of the morning by visiting the Parque La Florida near the airport. We arrived at dawn and soon entered the park, heading straight toward the most productive section of the wetland. The best finds on the Rusty-breasted Nunlet by Stephan Lorenz open water and in the reed-filled marshes included locally scarce Lesser Scaup, more Bogota Rails, Spot-flanked Gallinules that showed well, migrant Sora, several shorebirds, and after some dedicated scanning, a single Subtropical Doradito. Carefully scoping the distant trees revealed roosting Merlin and Peregrine Falcon. Since we had extra

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 5 time, we slowly walked through the woodland and birded the hedgerows, finding Black Phoebe, Andean Siskin, the ubiquitous Rufous-collared Sparrow, Yellow-backed Oriole, American Yellow Warbler, and best of the all, the near-endemic Rufous- browed Conebill that came very close. We transferred to the airport and had lunch there before proceeding to the gate to wait for our Satena flight to Mitu. Unfortunately, after several delays, the flight was canceled due to weather. We were rescheduled for the following morning and then transferred back to our familiar hotel in Bogota where we retired right after an early dinner.

We began the journey back to the airport very early and arrived with plenty of time to spare. The Satena flight was delayed again, but fortunately not canceled this time and we soon found ourselves airborne heading towards Mitu, where a huge list of new birds was waiting for us. We landed midmorning in Moustached Brushfinch by Stephan Lorenz Mitu and quickly transferred to the hotel to ready our gear for a full morning of birding. We ate a quick to-go lunch and then were on the trail in the famous Mitu Cacheveira area. We had not walked twenty steps towards the small wooden bridge when we spotted a Spotted Puffbird that perched in the open literally at arm’s length, an excellent start. The open area around the community and forest edges held nonstop activity and we had great views of Plain-breasted Ground Dove, Grey-fronted Dove, Smooth- billed Ani, Yellow-tufted and Lineated , a flock of Maroon-tailed Parakeets feeding contently in a palm, a single White-banded Swallow, Yellow-browed Sparrow, and Silver-beaked, Palm and Turquoise Tanagers. Despite warm temperatures, the birding didn’t slow down along the trail either and we found several Mitu and white sand forest specialties, including a surprise Rufous-throated Sapphire, a Black-and-white Hawk Eagle being harassed by a Bat Falcon, making for one of the most memorable moments of the tour, Green-backed Trogon, Bronzy , Scale-breasted Woodpecker, remarkably tame Amazonian Antshrike, and vivid Paradise Tanagers. We lured in several flocks that swarmed around the speaker and those included Cherrie's and Spot-backed Mottled Owl by Stephan Lorenz Antwrens, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, Brown-headed Greenlet, a Mitu specialty, Rufous-bellied Euphonia, and Purple and Red-legged Honeycreepers. One of the biggest surprises of the day and possibly of the entire tour was a trio of Rio Negro Gnatcatchers that moved rapidly through the canopy. Everyone managed good views, but

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 6 unfortunately no photos, of what marked one of the very few observations of this rare species in Colombia, at this point all undocumented. During the afternoon, we boarded a small boat and maneuvered downstream along the Vaupés River towards the small community of Urania. We focused our birding efforts on the riparian forest along a small inlet, first by boat and then on foot. We were rewarded with great studies of several specialties restricted to riverside vegetation most notably a responsive pair of Blackish-grey Antshrikes, tiny Amazonian Streaked-Antwren that eventually came in, a Black-chinned Antbird that almost hit us as it shot across the open water, a pair of habitat- specific Amazonian Inezia, and Drab Water Tyrants. In the nearby canopy, we located a colorful Yellow-bellied Dacnis. We motored back towards the main dock in Mitu as hundreds of Common Nighthawks took to the evening sky. We settled in for dinner at a local restaurant where we would enjoy every dinner while in Mitu.

We left Mitu well before daylight, heading Northern Screamer by Stephan Lorenz out of town along the longest stretch of road available with the goal of reaching the Tayasu area by daybreak. Arriving at the perfect time at a stakeout, a small bridge across a blackwater stream, we waited only a few minutes until the hoped for Fiery Topaz appeared, first a female and then a stunning male that stuck around for many minutes. Afterward, we headed to the productive Tayasu Road, where lots of activity kept us busy for the remainder of the morning. Overall it was an incredibly diverse day with more than 100 species recorded. Some of the highlights we found during the morning included Speckled Chachalaca, White-fronted Nunbird, Yellow-billed Jacamar, Gilded and Lemon-throated Barbets, Ivory- billed Aracari, Black-capped Becard, Rusty-fronted, and Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatchers, Dusky-chested Flycatcher, a nice array of tanagers, and a bonus Slate- colored Grosbeak that just appeared in the open! A pair of Pectoral Sparrows were secretive but eventually showed well. As we walked into a drier section of forest, we lucked onto a quiet Chestnut Woodpecker. We even managed brief flight views of a Grey-legged Tinamou that almost crossed the road in front of us, but of course spooked the second it noticed us, still this marked the first time it has actually been seen on the tour. Three Dusky-billed Parrotlets flew over briefly, but better yet, we saw Red-fan very well. Focusing on the denser forest, small streams, and thickets we amassed an excellent list of antbirds many Spectacled Parrotlet by Stephan Lorenz of which revealed themselves very well, including

Mouse-colored, Amazonian and Cinereous Antshrikes, and Rufous-backed, Rufous- tailed, Pygmy, White-flanked and Grey Antwrens, Imeri Warbling, Dusky, Grey, Silvered, Black-throated and White-cheeked Antbirds. What an incredible nonstop morning and at times we didn’t know where to look first! For lunch, we went to a local farm where we enjoyed a traditional meal and added some open country birds to our list while resting in the shade, for example, Black-tailed Tityra. During the late afternoon, we explored a section of trail leading through tall terra firme forest where we scored scope views of Collared Puffbird and Great Jacamar, plus small understory flocks. We Blue-billed Curassow by Stephan Lorenz drove back in the late afternoon and stopped at a roadside forest patch where a Wing-barred Piprites called distantly. Incredibly, although it took some patience, the piprites came in very close and it was a bonus to get such great views of this canopy dweller. After another slight delay, we eventually arrived back in Mitu after dark and had dinner at the familiar restaurant in town.

We left Mitu again well before sunrise to drive back to the Tayasu area with plans to spend more time on the narrow trail winding its way through the productive terra firme forest. We planned to focus on forest interior species. During the first hour or two of the morning, we birded the same sections again along the narrow road and incredibly the diversity of species was strikingly different compared to the day before. Some of the highlights included Blue Ground Dove, a Buff-throated Foliage-gleaner showed very well, White-lored Tyrannulet, an approachable flock of Azure-naped Jay was very welcome, four species of euphonia, and deep blue Rothschild’s Grosbeak. Tanagers were flocking to the fruiting trees along the forest edge and included a colorful array of species: Silver-beaked, Blue-grey, Palm, Yellow-bellied, Masked, Turquoise, and Paradise. Not surprisingly, we also added an excellent variety of antbirds in the shady, tall forest with the top sightings being the scarce Pearly and Dusky-throated Antshrikes, vocal Yellow-throated Antwren, spectacular close views of Black-faced Antbird, and a brief Chestnut- crested Antbird. In some open patches and along the trail we recorded an excellent variety of hummingbirds, including Black-eared Fairy, Black-throated Brilliant, Gould's Jewelfront, Fork-tailed Woodnymph, Versicolored Emerald, and White-chinned Sapphire. We then spent the rest of the morning walking slowly along the trail and while activity was quiet at times some of the best finds included Red-necked and Yellow-throated Woodpeckers, heard only Pavonine Quetzal, a Black-billed Flycatcher by Stephan Lorenz cooperative Rusty-breasted Nunlet seen at close quarters,

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 8 and a mimicking Lawrence's that we pulled into view several times. We went to lunch at the hydroelectric station where a Many-banded Aracari greeted us and we found the localized Black-collared Swallow at the river rapids. After a quick stop back in town, we went to the Urania Bridge area where we located several new species that prefer open habitats, including Lettered Aracari, great scope views of a Black-headed after a bit of maneuvering, and the only Red-bellied Macaws flew over. Along the edges of the secondary forest, we added nest- building Grey Elaenia, Slender-footed Tyrannulet and more. Waiting until dusk was productive with a Short-tailed Nighthawk that offered excellent flight views. It was another long and eventful day with more than 100 species found and we enjoyed the well-earned dinner back in Mitu.

We started early but targeted an area much closer to Mitu along the Bocatoma Trail. The trail is actually a narrow side road leading through a variety of forests towards a hilltop viewpoint. The weather was mixed today with high Bare-crowned Antbird by Stephan Lorenz temperatures and windy conditions early on, changing to strong rainstorms in the afternoon, but we persisted and were rewarded with some excellent sightings. During the morning, we birded our way through tall forests up towards the hilltop and found several new species for our growing list along the way, including roosting Blackish Nightjars at the top of the hill, Red-throated Caracara, another Pearly Antshrike, we had great luck with this rare species, Long-winged Antwren, responsive Yellow-browed Antbird, Common Scale-backed Antbird right in front of us, diminutive White-browed Purpletuft, White- crested Spadebill that responded well but was difficult to spot, and Fulvous-crested Tanager. From the lookout area at the top, we found a Spangled Cotinga and locally scarce White-necked Puffbird. During the afternoon, we returned to a nearby area called Cerrito Verde, but a strong thunderstorm prevented us from setting out right away. After waiting for a few minutes for the weather to improve, we started the hike towards a known cock-of-the-rock lek. The trail was heavily overgrown at first, but we made steady progress. With persisting rain and very dark clouds bird activity had shut down completely, but once we entered the taller forest we found the first Guianan Cock-of-the-rock. Hoping for better views, we continued hiking through a very dark and quiet forest. After some ups and downs, we reached the overhanging boulders and the cock-of-the- rock lek where a female perched on a nest in the shady gloom of the overhang. As we advanced to look for the vivid males our local guide spotted something as he walked out from underneath the overhang and got very excited. Based on his explanation I figured he had spotted a Rufous Motmot by Stephan Lorenz Spix’s Guan, but then briefly got onto a large cracid in a tree right above us. From what I had glimpsed as the bird quickly took off I realized it was a curassow. Due to the hunting pressure, no curassow species is realistically expected in Mitu, so we were very excited. Fortunately, we were able to track the shy bird as it moved through the low canopy

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 9 and eventually had excellent views of a male Black Curassow, a definite first for any Rockjumper Tour in Colombia. We even managed some record photos to boot. After all this excitement our minds returned to the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock and luckily at least two males had settled into their regular area and allowed close approach and photos. The hike out was extremely quiet as the darkening clouds hung low over the forest and cut off all light, but we returned to the vehicles in time. A smallish Fer- de-lance along the trail was the final excitement of the day. We returned to Mitu and quickly went to rest after dinner.

This was our final morning of birding in the Mitu area and we returned very early to the Mitu Cacheveira area in order to look for some of the white-sand forest specialties we were still missing. We first birded in the open area and along the forest edges near the community and it took some time before we entered the forest because bird activity was incredibly high. Some of the better finds in the open habitats included an immature Bicolored Hawk, another Red-necked Woodpecker, very close Orange-cheeked Parrots, the only Amazonian Umbrellabird, and Yellow-throated Flycatcher. We then worked our way systematically along the trail and were able to add several specialties here, most notably Broad-billed Motmot by Stephan Lorenz Rufous-throated Sapphire, better views of Cherrie’s and Spot-backed Antwrens, skulking Grey-bellied Antbird, very rare Duida Woodcreeper, super views of Black and Yellow-crowned , canopy-loving White-eyed Tody-Tyrant, Fuscous Flycatcher, the unique Citron-bellied Attila, a quartet of Opal-rumped Tanagers, and the uncommon Short-billed Honeycreeper. With limited time, we rushed down the trail to get to an area for the scarce Saffron-crested Tyrant Manakin and fortunately the bird was already calling when we arrived. We spotted it within moments and had excellent scope views of this Mitu specialty. While we quickly headed back towards the start of the trail, a distinctive call stopped us suddenly and soon enough we had a pair of Rufous- tailed Flatbills in our binoculars, another rarely recorded species. During the walkout, we stumbled across a Variegated Tinamou that stayed around long enough for everyone to see it. Back in Mitu, we made one final stop and successfully tracked down a Point-tailed Palmcreeper that showed really well. What a fitting finish to our Amazon adventure and we Choco Screech Owl by Stephan Lorenz headed back to the hotel to pack up. We arrived at the airport in good time, but our Satena flight was again delayed, luckily not more than two hours and soon enough we were flying back towards Bogota. Here we enjoyed a lavish dinner and then off to bed since we had a traditional early start ahead of us.

We had an early afternoon flight to Bucaramanga and a transfer to the famous Reinita Azul Reserve. With plans to use the morning to visit the Parque Natural Chicaque, we left the hotel early and reached the park by sunrise. During a few hours of birding along the entrance road, we added Lesser Violetear, Tourmaline Sunangel, Ash- colored and Blackish Tapaculos, Cinnamon Flycatcher, Moustached Brushfinch, Black-crested Warbler, Black- eared and Superciliaried Hemispingus, Scarlet-bellied and Buff-breasted Mountain-Tanagers, and Blue-and- black and Beryl-spangled Tanagers. With a great selection of new birds in the bag, we transferred to the Bogota airport, arriving with plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely lunch before our flight to Bucaramanga. Fortunately, the flight was on time, allowing for a productive birding stop during the drive towards the Reinita Azul Reserve. We stopped near a reservoir and birded along a small side road leading through dry forest. Here we quickly found several new species with highlights being Red-billed Emerald, Great Black Red-bellied Grackle by Stephan Lorenz Hawk, Olivaceous Piculet, Spectacled Parrotlet, Long- tailed Tyrant, Scrub Greenlet, Bicolored Wren, Rufous-capped Warbler, Crimson-backed and Yellow- backed Tanagers, and Streaked Saltator. The thickets held a trio of antshrikes, including Great, Barred, and the endemic Bar-crested. The densest vegetation held vocal Jet Antbirds of which a pair showed very well and a White-fringed Antwren hopped into the open on its own. With daylight waning, we returned to the van and continued the drive to San Vicente de Chucurí. Upon arrival, we transferred to two jeeps and then tackled the steep road to the Reinita Azul lodge, arriving just in time for dinner.

The early morning started with a bit of owling in the lodge gardens where everyone was able to catch up with a cooperative Mottled Owl. After breakfast, we started our walk down through a mixture of forest patches, scrub and cacao plantations. This habitat is incredibly productive and we ended up recording 120 species before the day was over. Right from the beginning, we targeted some range- restricted specialties and endemics and enjoyed fantastic views of Colombian Chachalaca, Niceforo's Wren, Black-headed Brushfinch after some effort, at least three Cerulean Warblers, Plain-colored Tanager, Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant by Stephan Lorenz and record numbers of the endemic Turquoise Dacnis, they were literally everywhere. More widespread species that were new for our list included Striped Cuckoo, Collared Aracari, Strong-billed Woodcreeper, Pale-breasted Spinetail, Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, Slaty-headed Tody-Flycatcher, Bright-rumped Attila, Boat-billed Flycatcher, Streaked Flycatcher, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, Rufous-naped Greenlet, Band-backed Wren, Yellow-tailed

Oriole, and Black-winged Saltator. The open cacao plantations always attract a wide variety of thrushes and we were not disappointed recording Swainson's, Pale- breasted, Yellow-legged, Pale-vented and Black-billed. Further down the road, we successfully located a Beautiful Woodpecker, a sought-after endemic. We returned to the lodge for lunch and a bit of leisurely garden birding before heading back out to a different section of cacao plantations. In the lodge gardens, the hummingbird feeders attracted White-necked Jacobin, Green Hermit, Brown Violetear, Black-throated Mango, Green- crowned Brilliant, White-vented Plumeleteer, Crowned Woodnymph, Andean Apical Flycatcher by Stephan Lorenz Emerald, Indigo-capped and Rufous-tailed Hummingbirds. In the grassy pasture above the lodge, we heard Ash-throated Crake, a first for the Mega tour. During the afternoon, we were able to add a handful of species including White-tipped Swift, a Black Hawk-Eagle circling next to the road, and a Short-tailed Hawk soaring high above. We returned to the main road and again walked down to see if we could add some species we missed during the morning. Just as the light was beginning to fade we added a pair of Slaty Spinetails. We finished this action-packed day with a bit of owling and all enjoyed excellent studies of a Tropical Screech Owl right before dinner.

We had an adventurous morning ahead of us as we began our long day well before sunrise. We planned to bird in the oak and subtropical forest in the Reinita Azul Reserve. In order to reach the reserve that lies upslope from the lodge, we used horses to tackle the steep access trail. After a wonderful and leisurely horse ride underneath a full moon, we arrived at the entrance to the forest before sunrise. We focused our efforts first on the feeder set up in the forest. Here, we watched a Lined Quail-Dove and Chestnut- headed Brushfinches come to a wood quail feeder, but the Gorgeted Wood Quails remained heard only as they called deep from a ravine. We then started the hike up the main trail, taking our time on the slippery track where a Ruddy Quail- Dove was a definite surprise. The first endemic Toucan Barbet by Stephan Lorenz we found for the morning was a cooperative Magdalena that even came out of the mossy tangles to sit on the trail, some of the best views of any tapaculo for all of us. A bit further up the trail, a hummingbird buzzing around in a thicket turned out to be the locally rare Geoffroy's Wedgebill. A small feeding flock early on held Plumbeous-crowned Tyrannulet. The haul of antbirds for the day included Uniform Antshrike, Plain Antvireo, and Slaty

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 12

Antwren, while we also found several new species of ovenbirds with Plain Xenops, Buff-fronted and Montane Foliage- gleaners, and Ash-browed Spinetail being the highlights. Near the top of the trail, a corner that often proves productive, held Golden-winged Manakin, a flock of Inca Jays, Whiskered Wren, Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant, and Ornate Flycatcher. Among a slew of tanagers that we recorded the Speckled and Flame-faced were somewhat unexpected and welcome bonuses. During the hike out, we finally got a response from a Crested Quetzal that flew right overhead, a dramatic vista of its glittering green and vivid red among the moss-draped cloud forest. We walked back down the trail and then followed the track that leads through the open pastures towards the lodge. We arrived back at the lodge in the late afternoon after nearly a full day of birding. We continued to watch the activity in the lodge gardens and added Cocoa Woodcreeper and Guira Tanager. There was a large amount of activity in the early evening as birds seemed to take advantage of an insect emergence and it was enjoyable to sit back, watching a variety of species come to the forest edge, while a large flock of White- tipped Swift coursed overhead. Masked Trogon by Stephan Lorenz

We started the day with a more leisurely sit down breakfast and then packed up the jeeps for our journey back to town where we would meet the van. With a long journey ahead of us we planned to make just a few strategic stops. First up was a stop beyond town at a lower elevation site that held some humid forest. Our target was already calling on arrival and after a patient wait, we managed excellent views of the canopy dwelling Yellow-browed Shrike-Vireo. Additional new finds included a covey of Crested Bobwhites in the middle of the road and a pair of heard only Barred Puffbirds. We made another stop in a section of the lower forest that was a mixture of humid thickets and dry woodland near a large reservoir. Here, we picked up a few species that are uncommon on this itinerary including Barred Antshrike, Cinnamon Becard, Ruddy-breasted Seedeater, and Thick-billed Seed-Finch. We kept an eye out for raptors as we drove through the open Magdalena valley and were rewarded with Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture, and Savanna and Zone-tailed Hawks. After making excellent time, we stopped for lunch before Puerto Boyaca and enjoyed delicious buffalo burgers, a nice change from the regular Colombian fare. While we waited for our food, we checked the garden for birds and picked up the only Cinereous Becard of the trip. It was then time to transfer to the famous Chiva, these large trucks carry passengers to even the most White-headed Wren by Stephan Lorenz remote communities and we were able to bird along the entrance road towards the El Paujil Reserve, taking advantage of the wide-open views from the vehicle. New additions to the trip list came fast as we drove through open pastures and made several

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 13 stops in the productive wetlands along the way. Some of the best finds included Northern Screamer, Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Greater Anis present in good numbers, a pair of Grey-cowled Wood Rails in the open, Purple Gallinule, Russet-throated Puffbird, Pale-legged Hornero, Yellow- chinned Spinetail, Pied Water-Tyrant, White- headed Marsh Tyrant, Red-breasted Meadowlark, and Orange-crowned and Yellow Orioles. While the marsh was fairly dry compared to previous years, the Black- capped Donacobius was still on the territory. Parrots are always well represented in the open habitats with scattered palms and we found Orange-chinned Parakeet, Blue-headed Parrot, Mealy and Orange-winged Amazons, Spectacled Parrotlet, and Chestnut-fronted Macaw. A stop at a strip of riparian woodland netted us close views of another canopy species, a pair of Black-headed Tody- Flycatchers. A small flock of Black-chested Jay passed through also. We reached the entrance road to the reserve just after nightfall and transferred into jeeps for the remainder of the journey. It took only another ten minutes Orange-breasted Fruiteater by Stephan Lorenz before we reached the lodge and settled in. The excitement about the following day was palpable as we ate a delicious dinner and went to get some rest.

Our day started before breakfast as we met in the dark to do some owling along the main trail. It was a very productive morning as several species of owls, nightjars, and potoos were calling vigorously. First, we tracked down a locally rare Choco Screech Owl that was visible through a small window in the dense vegetation, fortunately, we were able to see it call, the only way to ensure identification. Next up, we tracked down both Common and Great Potoos that showed very well in the spotlight. Four other species of owls, including Tropical Screech, Mottled, Spectacled, and Crested remained heard only. We returned to the lodge for breakfast and then waited for the star bird of the reserve, the critically endangered Blue-billed Curassow. Fortunately, several birds have become accustomed to the lodge grounds and one female was even bringing chicks to the lodge, while several males cavorted on the lawn and even perched atop the restaurant gazebo. In all, we saw ten curassows and enjoyed many great photo opportunities. We then headed up the main trail to look for the many targets on offer in this fantastic reserve. One of the first specialties to show was a pair of Black-billed Flycatchers that came really Black by Stephan Lorenz close, but we had to check two territories before we got a response from the localized Black Antshike. The male of which

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 14 showed very well. Additional antbirds we added included Checker-throated and White- flanked Antwrens, and Chestnut-backed and Bare-crowned Antbirds, the latter showed especially well and was one of the favorites of the morning. Russet-winged Schiffornis called and Southern Bentbill showed in the subcanopy. We continued our walk to the main road where we turned left to bird along the ridge, adding Swallow-tailed and Plumbeous Kites, Rufous Motmots were abundant, and we also lured in a single Broad- billed Motmot. A calling played hide and seek in the canopy, but was eventually tracked down. A trio of trogons was excellent with scope views of Black- tailed, White-tailed and Gartered Trogons. Slaty-crowned Antpitta by Stephan Lorenz White-mantled Barbets were truly reluctant, but again with persistence, we tracked one down. The flowers and hummingbird feeders around the observation tower were pretty active and we added Blue- chested and Shining-green Hummingbirds. A short loop trail brought us back to the lodge where we took a short break before setting out again to bird a trail along a creek where we found Marbled Wood-Quail and Choco Screech Owl by voice and saw another pair of Sooty-headed Ant-Tanagers. It had been a full day with many rare endemics and specialties.

We spent the morning birding some of the narrower trails in the El Paujil Reserve, which proved productive at first, but soon a chorus of cicadas started that was unlike anything I had ever experienced. By 8:00 am bird song and activity was almost nil and a drone of calling insects permeated the forest. So we decided to pack it in early on the trail and birded the more open lodge area a bit before loading our gear into the jeep to return to the Chiva and the long haul back to the main road. Some of the highlights along the trail included good views of Stripe-throated Hermit, Red-rumped Woodpecker, and a responsive Black-striped Woodcreeper. We also spent some time on the observation tower where large numbers of parrots were on the move including massive numbers of Bue-and-yellow and Chestnut- fronted Macaws, Red-lored Amazons, plus Citron-throated and Yellow-throated Toucans. At the forest edge around the lodge, we found a pair of One-colored Becards and a Cinnamon Becard. The Chiva ride out was largely uneventful and we continued towards the Rio Claro area with a stop for lunch. We checked into our hotel before heading to the Cueva del Condor area. This private farm harbors a small stream that leads to an active Oilbird cave, always a highlight of any birding visit to the area. During the hike in, we found many localized specialties and enjoyed great views of all of them. The best finds included a scoped Grey-cheeked Nunlet, a normally shy Black-faced Antthrush showed well in the Grey-browed Brushfinch by Stephan Lorenz undergrowth, and a Brownish Twistwing was

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 15 still on the same territory as the year before. The stream was fairly dry, but several puddles attracted birds that came to drink and bathe in the late afternoon. We thus managed point- blank views of Buff-throated Foliage- gleaner, Blue-crowned, White-bearded and Golden-headed Manakins, Ochre-bellied, Sepia-capped and Slaty-capped Flycatchers, White-thighed Swallow, Orange-billed Sparrow, and White-shouldered Tanager. At the cavern itself, we watched dozens of massive and screeching Oilbird circle near the entrance of the cave. Near the start of the trail, some Bicolored Antbirds were present. As we crossed the pasture during the hike out we chanced upon the first Rufous-tailed Jacamar of the tour. Golden-winged Sparrow by Stephan Lorenz

The Canon del Rio Claro area offers a spectacular mix of species with several birds at the edge of their range here as the distributions wrap around into the Magdalena Valley and there are of course several range-restricted endemics. We planned to bird the humid lowland forest in the canyon itself and also visit a new location giving access to hill forest at a slightly higher elevation. Overall, we recorded nearly 100 species for the day with many highlights. We started with an early breakfast at the hotel before transferring to the reserve where we arrived right at sunrise. We covered the first section of trail following the river further into the canyon and quickly located a pair of confiding Magdalena Antbirds, a localized endemic. Other observations included a Bay Wren being followed by a fledged Shiny Cowbird, Buff- rumped Warblers, Dusky-faced Tanagers were common, and Tawny-crested and Golden-hooded Tanagers were part of the feeding flocks. A Fasciated Tiger-Heron showed well on the far side of the river at the last moment. We then continued our walk along the main entrance road where we found Pacific Antwren, had good views of a calling Russet-winged Schiffornis, Black-tailed Flycatcher, Black- capped Pygmy-Tyrant, Long-tailed Tyrant, and White-thighed Swallow. Woodcreepers were present in good numbers with Olivaceous, Plain-brown, Wedge-billed, and Cocoa Woodcreepers all seen well. Once we reached the main entrance we boarded the vehicle and transferred a short distance to a side road where we birded for the remainder of the morning and ended up with excellent studies of Scaled Pigeon, finally great views of the endemic White-mantled Barbet, and Striolated Manakins were common, with yet another pair of Sooty Ant-Tanagers passing Santa Marta Blossomcrown by Stephan Lorenz through. Unfortunately, our birding was

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 16 eventually cut short by heavy rain and we returned to the reserve. For the afternoon, we returned to the main reserve where we tackled a steep but short trail and were rewarded with sightings of Rufous-breasted Hermit, Bronze- tailed Plumeleteer, and a confiding pair of Grey- cheeked Nunlets. During the late afternoon, we persisted along the entrance road and finally had good views of a pair of Cinnamon Woodpeckers before having dinner at the reserve restaurant.

For the final morning in the Rio Claro area, we decided to return to the side road beyond the reserve and it was a productive morning. Upon arrival, we found a calling Blue-lored Antbird, a species rarely recorded on this itinerary, with other good species including another Bronze- tailed Plumeleteer, better scope views of Scaled Pigeon, an unexpected Sooty-headed Wren, and distant Swallow Tanagers. Not wanting to give Santa Marta Parakeet by Stephan Lorenz up on one or two species we were still missing we made another short stop at the main reserve and found another Beautiful Woodpecker. Due to road closures in the Anori area, we were, unfortunately, unable to visit the Chestnut-capped Piha Reserve and after some logistical changes continued to Medellin for the night. We arrived in the early evening after having lunch at our hotel in Rio Claro and after a delicious dinner went to sleep in preparation for an early start.

We left the hotel in Medellin two hours before sunrise in order to leave enough time to arrive at a private farm to the north of the city. The anticipation was high since we had managed to organize a visit to the site where the long lost Antioquia Brushfinch had been recently rediscovered. We met our local guide Rodolfo, who is the original discovery, at the entrance to his farm and we followed him along a farm track to one of the territories of the brushfinch. Just as it was enough light to see we could hear a brushfinch calling and a few minutes later enjoyed excellent views of a pair, one of the highlights of the tour. Incredibly, as we walked further through the farm property we found at least four more birds on three more territories, many of them offering excellent scope studies as they sat up and sang in full view. In addition to the endangered brushfinch we also added good views of Tyrian Metaltail, White-tailed Hawk, Blackish Tapaculo, Azara's Spinetail, Yellow-breasted Brushfinch, Lacrimose Mountain-Tanager, and Black-throated and Bluish Flowerpiercers, while a Black- Orinoco Saltator by Stephen Lorenz billed Peppershrike remained heard only. After such excellent views of the rare brushfinch in the bag, a species few birders have seen so far, and the relaxed birding the rest of the morning it was time to drive south of Medellin. We reached our hotel south of the city

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 17 right around lunchtime and enjoyed our meal while waiting for the rooms to be ready. After a short break, we headed to the nearby La Romera Park and it turned out to be a productive afternoon despite the warm temperatures and windy conditions. The highlights along the road winding its way through the forest patches were the endemic Red-bellied Grackle and Stiles’s Tapaculo which again showed incredibly well for a member of this skulky family. Other additions to our list included Red-headed Barbet, White-throated Toucanet, Golden- olive Woodpecker, White-winged Becard, Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant, Golden-crowned Flycatcher, White-naped Brushfinch, and Black-capped Tanager. A calling Andean Solitaire was also very confiding, offering Vermilion Cardinal by Stephan Lorenz extended scope studies. In the late evening, two Sickle-winged Guans showed well on their way to roost. It was a short journey back to the hotel where we had dinner and then rested a bit after several days of non-stop birding.

During the early morning, we returned briefly to La Romera Park before heading south of Medellin towards the famous Las Tangaras Reserve. At the park, we only added heard Chestnut Wood-Quail, a pair of Andean Motmots, and Three-striped Warbler. Unfortunately, we ran into some traffic delays south of Medellin which delayed our arrival in the Bolombolo area. We did manage to squeeze in one stop along the highway where we added Acorn Woodpecker and Western Emerald. Once we reached the Bolombolo area we explored a side road to look for some of the Cauca Valley specialties. The habitat here was dramatically different from anything we had visited so far with dry tropical forest and vine tangles covering a steep slope. We quickly found two of the three main targets in the form of a Greyish Piculet that came very close and a pair of Apical Flycatchers that was building a nest. Other additions here included a brief , Scarlet-fronted Parakeets, Greenish Elaenia, Chivi Vireo, and Chestnut-winged Cinclodes by Stephan Lorenz Tropical Gnatcatcher. Despite a lot of effort, we only heard the Antioquia Wren, but we would find it during a second visit. We had lunch at the famous La Mayoria and then checked another side road to see if we could find the Antioquia Wren, it was very hot and if there were any wrens they were quiet. Yet, we did add some excellent species in the form of Golden-collared Manakin, very rare on this itinerary, and Golden-crowned Warbler. The drive to Las Tangaras was uneventful but lengthy as usual. We arrived at the well-placed lodge in the early

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 18 evening and a vigil at the hummingbird feeders revealed that activity was very low, apparently, lots of trees were flowering and hummingbirds were not visiting the feeder setups in any numbers. We still managed to add Steely-vented Hummingbird to the list before dinner.

The Las Tangaras Reserve managed by ProAves is one of the finest birding locations in all of Colombia and we set out from the lodge in two jeeps well before sunrise. We ate a field breakfast as we waited for the cloud forest to slowly awaken around us. We spent the morning walking the entrance road until lunch and then took a break and lunch at the hummingbird feeders. We also walked sections of the trail leading through primary forest, which was at times quiet, but still revealed an excellent variety of specialties. Along the main road, we found Plumbeous Pigeons perched at eye level, Moustached Puffbird, a pair of vociferous Toucan Barbets, Rufous-rumped and Yellow-breasted Antwrens, Uniform Antshrike, Lineated Foliage-gleaner, Red-faced Spientail, Bronze-olive Pygmy-Tyrant, Sepia- brown Wren, Choco Brushfinch, and the intensely colored Indigo Flowerpiercer. A Golden-winged Warbler even made a brief appearance in one of the busier feeding flocks and, after what seemed like ages, we found the endemic Rufescent Screech Owl by Stephan Lorenz Black-and-gold Tanager. After locating the first one, we kept seeing them of course. As the name suggests the reserve is famous for its tanager diversity and rightfully so. On this single day, we recorded an astounding diversity of tanagers including Black- chinned Mountain, Purplish-mantled, Gistening-green, Rufous-throated, Beryl-spangled, Saffron- crowned, Golden, and Silver-throated. Some soft calls from a ravine alerted us to the presence of an Ochre-breasted Antpitta which soon enough was dancing right in front of us on a mossy branch. We also continued with our great success among tapaculos with the endemic Tatama and Narino Tapaculos giving excellent, extended views. In the clearing between the road and the trail, we found a busy feeding flock that harbored Crested Quetzal, Masked Trogon, Yellow-vented Woodpecker, Pacific Tuftedcheek, Marble- faced Bristle-Tyrant, and the unique White- headed Wren. The hummingbird feeders attracted Violet-tailed Sylph, Greenish Puffleg, Brown Inca, Velvet-purple Coronet, Booted Racket-tail, Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Empress Brilliant, Purple-throated Woodstar, Crowned Woodnymph, and Andean Wood Wren Hermit by Stephan Lorenz Emerald, quite a haul for just sitting back and enjoying a field lunch. Near the hummingbird feeders, a small flock held a Black-billed Peppershrike that was seen by all. The tall and dense forest along the trail held Orange-breasted Fruiteater which we

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 19 found after a lengthy search and, as is often the case, an Olivaceous Piha was nearby. The rare Fulvous-breasted Flatbill was moving with a small feeding flock and Orante, Handsome, and Cinnamon Flycatchers were numerous. A Chestnut-breasted Wren sang from the dark undergrowth, but would not come any closer, while a Black Solitaire followed us along the trail, offering repeated binocular filling views. We returned to the lodge in the late evening where we took a short break before another delicious dinner.

In order to reach the higher elevations and cloud forest of the Tanager Finch Reserve, we left very early with another packed breakfast. The drive up went smoothly and we soon found ourselves at the highest point of the road right at daybreak. On the way, we stopped for two Band-winged Nightjars on the road that showed down to a few feet. It was almost light when we finally managed to call in a Rufous- bellied Nighthawk that flew right past our heads at one point. Then the wind picked up and persisted for most of the morning, making birding challenging, and this was followed by clear skies and unusually warm temperatures. It required some patience and effort, but we did manage excellent views of two specialties of the site, the White-tipped Quetzal endangered and endemic Munchique Wood Wren and at a stakeout By Stephan Lorenz we found a pair of Tanager Finches that showed very well. We also covered a bit of the narrow trail and walked up and down the road in search of feeding flocks. New species we were able to add included Collared Inca, Slaty-crowned Antpitta, Spillmann’s Tapaculo (also showing well), Pearled Treeruner, Rufous Spinetail, Barred Becard, Pale-footed Swallow with one bird showing at the last opportunity, Citrine and Russet-crowned Warblers, Grass-green Tanager, Capped Conebill, and Grey-hooded Bush Tanager. With bird activity grinding to a halt in the clear and hot conditions we drove back to the lodge for lunch and then returned to the main reserve. We still had lots of forest interior species to find so we walked back to the trail. After some patient searching, we finally found a huge feeding flock. Incredibly, it was centered exactly at the spot that I had eyed as an excellent place for a feeding flock since it was open and a bit downslope. For the next hour or so we had birds circling us at a frenetic pace and we tried our best to pull out as many species as possible, truly heart- pounding birding at its best. Some of the best finds in this massive flock included Montane Woodcreeper, Scaly-throated Foliage- gleaner, Uniform Treehunter, Variegated Bristle-Tyrant, a singing Choco Vireo that Double-banded Greytail by Stephan Lorenz showed very well, Olive Finches at our feet, and a surprise pair of White-winged Tanagers. After this action-packed hour, we truly felt like we had witnessed birding the reserve at its best. During the late afternoon, we drove further down the road in order to reach lower elevations and walked the final sections of forest where we added Tawny-breasted

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 20

Flycatcher, interestingly a first for the Mega Tour and, best of all, a small group of the endemic Crested Ant-Tanagers, and a close pair of Rufous-throated Tanagers.

For the final morning at Las Tangaras we planned to hike the steep ridge trail for the small chance of encountering Gold-ringed Tanager. Well before breakfast and first light though we searched for Lyre-tailed Nightjars and were rewarded with close views of a female plumaged bird. Once the sun rose it was extremely windy with almost no bird activity. We hiked up the ridge for about an hour and, quite incredibly, recorded no new species. We returned to the lodge, packed up Oilbirds by Stephan Lorenz quickly, and drove back to the Bolombolo area to see if we could find the endemic Antioquia Wren we had only heard during a previous attempt. We arrived at the side road near Bolombolo before lunch and this time located a territorial Antioquia Wren that offered excellent studies and a brief Yellow-green Vireo was also added to the list. We then enjoyed another delicious lunch at La Mayoria where a Great- tailed Grackle was out of place, maybe a sign that the species is spreading due to deforestation much like its smaller cousin, the Carib Grackle. For the remainder of the day, we had to tackle road closures and heavy traffic on our way to Manizales without any further birding, arriving at our hotel in Manizales in the early evening.

The Rio Blanco Reserve above the city of Manizales offers superb birding in the subtropical cloud forest with access to clear, fast-flowing streams. It is also famous for its extensive antpitta feeders where up to four species emerge from the mossy undergrowth for worms. The hummingbird feeders around the restaurant and at lower elevation are also busy. Overall, we had a great day with our local guide and finished after dinner with some late-night owling. We arrived right at sunrise and before the appointment with the first antpitta birded around the lodge and a short trail. Here we managed excellent views of Ash-colored and Blackish Tapaculos. We checked on the antpitta feeders and due to nesting activity, only two of the four species actually visited the feeding stations with great views of the confiding Brown-banded Antpitta and the small Slaty-crowned Antpitta, while Bicolored and Chestnut-crowned Antpittas Santa Marta Woodstar by Stephan Lorenz were heard only. Even a Green-and-black Fruiteater has become used to the worms and is now a regular visitor to the feeding station. Afterward, we hiked up along the main road and then explored the cloud forest along various tracks. Some of the best finds included Strong-billed Woodcreeper, Streaked Xenops, Streaked Tuftedcheek, Rufous- breasted Flycatcher, Rufous-crowned Tody-Flycatcher, White-tailed Tyrannulet, Flavescent Flycatcher, Mountain Wren, Glossy-black Thrush, Grey-browed Brushfinch, four species of hemispingus, and a variety of tanagers. While we waited for the Brown-banded Antpitta a flock of Golden-plumed Parakeets

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 21 settled into a tree nearby. Before and after lunch we spent some time at the hummingbird feeders where we added Speckled Hummingbird, Long-tailed Sylph, Bronzy Inca, Buff-tailed Coronet, and Fawn- breasted Brilliant among some hummingbirds we had seen before. At slightly lower elevations, we found the localized White-throated Wedgebill. On the way back up we made a successful stop where we had great views of the uncommon Tyrannine Woodcreeper. Along the stream and dam pairs of Torrent Tyrannulets and White-capped Dippers were present. During the late afternoon, we returned to the main track and continued our search for feeding flocks. Additional species we found included Bar-bellied and brief Powerful Woodpeckers, heard only Streak-headed Antbird, Smoky Bush Tyrant, Yellow-bellied Chat-Tyrant, Brown-capped Vireo, and Black-collared Bar-crested Antshrike by Stephan Lorenz Jay. The Yellow-billed Caciques were very skulky and were only seen in flight. We ate dinner at the reserve and then went out again. Owling after dinner produced spectacular views of a White-throated Screech Owl and a Rufous-banded Owl was heard at close quarters.

We again started early despite the late night before and headed up to the Los Nevados National Park. The paramo here would mark the highest elevation we reached during the tour. When we arrived dense fog and some light drizzle made the initial birding rather challenging, but we continued to a regular stakeout for the rare Rufous-fronted Parakeet finding a pair of Stout-billed Cinclodes in the fog. After a quick search, we had a small flock of the Rufous-fronted Parakeet fly around us and they even settled into nearby trees. Due to the dense fog, the views were less than ideal, but at least we had found this difficult bird. We also lured a Paramo Tapaculo from the dense bunch grass and it again showed brilliantly. We continued to the highest point at the national park visitor center and it only took a few moments until we spotted the first Buffy Helmetcrest, a true high elevation specialty. Overall, we found no less than 5 of these spectacular and endemic hummingbirds. Nearby we also added a Tawny Antpitta calling from atop a bush, Andean Tit-Spinetail, White-chinned Thistletail, and Grass Wren. We drove to slightly lower elevations and birded along the gravel road through patches of cloud forest. Playing the call of an Andean Pygmy Owl finally attracted the actual owl, which showed well, and also drew in a flock of mobbing birds that included White-banded Tyrannulet, Brown-backed Chat- Tyrant, Mountain Wren, Black-crested Warbler, Lacrimose, Grayish Piculet by Stephan Lorenz Scarlet-bellied, and Buff-breasted Mountain-Tanagers, and Blue-backed Conebill. We continued to lunch at the Termales del Ruiz where we staked out the hummingbird feeders before sitting down for a tasty meal. The feeders were visited by Tourmaline

Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Colombia Trip Report – RBL Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega Tour 2020 22

Sunangel, Purple-backed and Rainbow-bearded Thornbills, Tyrian and Viridian Metaltails, Golden- breasted Puffleg, Shining Sunbeam, Buff-winged Starfrontlet, Mountain Velvetbreast, and Great Sapphirewing. We made one more stop at the lagoon and located the locally rare Andean Lapwing that called loudly as it flew overhead. While the rain continued, we tried to pull out a few new birds in the forest patch along the main road and were successful in finding Red-crested Cotinga, Black-backed Bush Tanager, and Golden-crowned Tanager at the last moment. We drove back towards Manizales and continued to the Otun Quimbaya Reserve. We arrived at the lodge in the early evening and using the final minutes of daylight to do some birding, we found the first of the endemic Cauca Guans and the only Fawn- breasted Tanager of the tour.

We had only limited time at the Otun Quimbaya Reserve and many targets on the list. We started well before sunrise and used Yellow-crested Manakin by Stephan Lorenz a jeep to drive further into the reserve. Right at dawn, we found a Moustached Antpitta at a regular stakeout. Before daylight, we called in a Rufescent Screech Owl that showed very well and then continued to the far end of the road where bird activity was high. Here we quickly found a distant Wattled Guan, Collared Trogon, and a noisy group of White-capped Tanagers. We also lured four Chestnut Wood-Quails across the road that showed really well as they scuttled into the open. We walked back along the road and soon heard a Hooded Antpitta calling far off-trail. Following the call, we found a narrow path into the forest and soon spotted the bird sitting on an open branch just a metre in front of us. This confiding individual offered incredible views for minutes on end. Further along the road, the impressive Red-ruffed Fruitcrows showed very well. Then it was time to climb back into the jeep and head to the Pereira airport where we arrived in perfect time for our flight north and the final chapter of the Mega tour. We transferred through Bogota for our flight to Barranquilla. Fortunately, all flights were on time and we arrived in Barranquilla with a bit of daylight left so immediately headed to the university area to do some birding. Soon we had the endemic Chestnut-winged Chachalaca in our binoculars and then racked up an impressive list of new species that included the rare and endemic Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, Whooping Motmot, Russet-throated Puffbird, Brown-throated Parakeet, Black-crested Antshrike, Northern Scrub-Flycatcher, Grey Black-chinned Tanager by Stephan Lorenz Kingbird, Trinidad Euphonia, Glaucous

Tanager, and Greyish Saltator. Quite a good haul for less than an hour of birding. We then drove into the city of Barranquilla to reach our hotel, catching glimpses of the carnival festivities, apparently the second largest of it’s kind in the world.

Today, we visited the very productive Palermo area and the Isla Salamanca National Park. This was our first opportunity to bird extensive wetlands and mangroves plus a variety of scrublands and open habitats. Of course, we added a large variety of species to our list and by the time we finished the day in Minca we had recorded around 150 species for the day. We started along a side road that Rufous-capped Warbler by Stephan Lorenz made its way through open scrub and wetlands. Bird activity here was nonstop and we quickly added Fulvous Whistling-Duck, Scaled Dove, Groove-billed Ani, Sapphire-throated Hummingbird, Limpkin, a locally rare Least Bittern, Glossy Ibis, Snail Kite, Spot-breasted Woodpecker, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, and Stripe-backed Wren. Playing a Ferruginous Pygmy Owl to attract smaller birds brought in the actual owl and many birds, including a locally rare Chestnut-sided Warbler. We also stopped at some cattle enclosures which held four of the increasingly rare Bronze-brown Cowbirds. Among the mangroves at the Isla Salamanca National Park, we found Wood Stork, Black-collared Hawk, Crane Hawk, Common Black Hawk, Mouse-colored Tyrannulet, Panama Flycatcher, plenty of migrant Prothonotary Warblers, and a cooperative . We also saw Bicolored Conebills which are restricted to mangroves here. We also made several stops along coastal lagoons, scoped mudflats, and checked the wetlands for shorebirds, gulls, and terns adding immensely to our overall list. Some of the shorebirds, gulls, and terns we found included Black-necked Stilt, Black- bellied Plover, Southern Lapwing, Collared, Wilson's and Semipalmated Plovers, Wattled Jacana, Whimbrel, Ruddy Turnstone, Sanderling, Least, Semipalmated, Western, Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers, Greater Yellowlegs, Willet, Lesser Yellowlegs, Laughing Gull, Large-billed, Gull-billed, and Black and Royal Terns. We arrived at the hotel in Minca for lunch and after checking in proceeded to an area of dry forest nearby. White-winged Tanager by Stephan Lorenz While waiting for lunch to be ready we added Pale-bellied Hermit at the hotel’s hummingbird feeders. The birding in the dry forest was very successful despite the time of day and we found Military Macaws going to roost on a distant ridge, a pair of Black- backed Antshrikes, flighty Pale-eyed Pygmy-Tyrants, and Rufous-breasted and Rufous-and-white

Wrens. In a section of dense undergrowth, we found a pair of responsive Golden-winged Sparrows that showed very well. We then returned to the hotel for dinner and a well- earned rest.

Due to the closure of the main road we had to take a longer route up the mountain and made some stops along the way in promising- looking habitat. We reached the lodge at lunchtime and enjoyed our first of many fabulous meals at the El Dorado Lodge. During the journey up the mountain, we scoured the lower elevations for new species and found Long-billed Starthroat, Keel-billed Toucan, Coopman’s Tyrannulet, Yellow- legged, White-necked and Black-hooded Thrushes, Black-headed Tanager, and Rusty Flowerpiercer. Checking a side trail, we Blackish-grey Antshrike by Stephan Lorenz pulled a pair of Santa Marta Antbirds from a dense tangle and enjoyed exceptional views of a Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner, while the near-endemic Streak-capped Spinetail was nearby. The endemic Sierra Nevada and Santa Marta Brushfinches were also easily seen. We made some strategic stops at some of the hummingbird gardens along the way and added some truly rare endemics and specialties including Sooty-capped Hermit, Santa Marta Woodstar, Coppery Emerald, and Santa Marta Blossomcrown after an anxious wait. The lodge feeders harbored at least two colorful Lazuline Sabrewings and Blue-naped Chlorophonias came to the banana feeders. During the afternoon, we birded along the road near the lodge, adding Band-tailed Guan, White-rumped Hawk, a pair of White-tipped Quetzals at a nest, Golden-breasted Fruiteater, Black-throated Tody- Tyrant, and White-lored Warbler.

We left the lodge very early in order to reach the San Lorenzo Ridge at sunrise and to have enough time to do some owling along the way. We managed close flight views of the endemic Santa Marta Screech Owl and heard a Stygian Owl call nearby. We reached the ridge at sunrise and quickly found the Santa Marta Warbler, which supposedly has become difficult, but we saw two more pairs during the morning. Better yet, a small flock of Santa Marta Parakeets flew in and allowed for very close views, this endangered species can be difficult to see. Red-billed Parrots and Scaly-naped Amazons were seen in flight. Other Santa Marta endemics we found along or near the ridge forest included White-tailed Starfrontlet, heard only Santa Marta Antpitta, Brown-rumped Tapaculo, Rusty-headed Spinetail, we heard a distant Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant, had great views of a Hermit Wood-Wren in the open, Yellow-crowned Olivaceous-Rio Claro Flatbill by Stephan Lorenz Redstart, Santa Marta Mountain-Tanager, and

Santa Marta Brushfinch. A Black-and- chestnut Eagle made a brief flyby. We left the ridge area in the late morning with only one endemic missing, the tricky Black-backed Thornbill, but we would luckily catch up with that species later, making for a clean sweep of all accessible Santa Marta endemics! During the late afternoon, we hiked down the road from the lodge and found a cooperative Rusty-breasted Antpitta, finally saw a Santa Marta Tapaculo after hearing many and had great views of a strongly reacting Grey- throated Leaftosser. We enjoyed another delicious dinner interrupted by a Kinkajou and night monkeys and then hiked together to our comfortable Kogihabs perched high on the mountain with dramatic views of the Caribbean below. Black-billed Toucan by Stephan Lorenz

In the early morning, the Grey Tinamou called again far below the lodge and we managed views of a Golden Grosbeak, getting much better views a bit later in the morning. We drove back up the mountain a short distance to the biological research station where a Santa Marta Antpitta visits a worm feeding station regularly. We birded the environs of the biological station and found a female Black-backed Thornbill here, the bird offered repeated good views and we celebrated as that marked the final possible Santa Marta endemic. While we scanned the clear skies, we added another White-rumped Hawk and locally rare Cooper’s Hawk. We also enjoyed better studies of some of the species from the previous day. As we waited for a Brown-rumped Tapaculo to call back along the edge of the forest, up went the shout of “antpitta in the hole” by Dale. Luckily, we all knew instinctively where to look and incredibly a Santa Marta Antpitta sat out in the open long enough to get good views. With such early success and the official feeding not starting for another hour or so we took advantage of the gained time and drove down to the lodge. Here we spent another ten minutes and then drove all the way down the mountain towards Minca, again having to take a slightly longer route. We drove past the famous Tayrona National Park and continued to a side road to look for a few targets. We were successful in Greater Anis by Stephan Lorenz locating Lance-tailed Manakin, Trinidad Euphonia, Buff-breasted Wren, and Grey Seedeater at a nearby restaurant where we had paused for delicious mango juice. Other strategic stops along the route added Rufous-vented Chachalaca, Bare-eyed Pigeon, Green-rumped Parrotlet, and Blue-crowned Parakeet. A quick stop along another side road right before dusk added Crested Bobwhite, White-whiskered Spinetail, and Slender-billed Tyrannulet. Right at dusk lots of Lesser Nighthawks flew above us. We continued the drive to Rioacha where after some

We had a short morning before our flight from Rioacha to Bogota, but we had a long list of targets. The birding went as smoothly as possible and we managed to catch up with every single Guajira specialty. The Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia is dominated by an arid climate supporting thorn scrub and cacti studded desert. Several species are restricted to these dry habitats in Colombia and neighboring . Of course, our main aim was to catch up with these near- Velvet-Fronted Euphonia by Stephan Lorenz endemics. Right at dawn, we tried to find the most challenging, the skulking Tocuyo Sparrow which can be very difficult to locate if not calling. Fortunately, we found one individual quietly foraging on the ground that offered some of the best views possible of this species. Other specialties we found as we followed trails past drying ponds and through dense scrub included Harris's Hawk, Chestnut Piculet, Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Grey Pileated Finch, and Black-faced Grassquit. We made a brief stop at the estuary and mudflats that were absolutely teeming with bird activity and two or three quick scans added American Oystercatcher, Willet, Whimbrel, Common and Cabot’s Terns, Black Skimmer, Reddish Egret, Scarlet Ibis, and American Flamingo. We did have to put in some effort for the localized Pale-tipped Inezia but found it along a stream eventually. At a newly accessible feeder setup, we found several Buffy Hummingbirds and had better views of Orinoco Saltator and Vermilion Cardinal. We then drove to a stake-out for Double-striped Thick-knee where four birds were present and during the transfer back to the Rioacha airport finally spotted the missing Pearl Kite for a complete clean up of the Guajira. We celebrated with high fives at the airport as we had done very well despite limited time.

For the final day of the tour, we had some bonus birding planned in the Sumapaz National Park on the edge of Bogota. Despite the park not being too far from Bogota, we still had to start by 4:00 am. We met our local guide along the way and then continued to the lagoon area and paramo of the park. We also birded further along the road in an area of open pastures that held a slightly different Tatama Tapaculo by Stephan Lorenz mix of birds. The birding was difficult due to dense fog and some drizzle. A large event with dozens of people walking along the road also made birding somewhat tricky. Despite all this, we still added an excellent variety of species to our list with highlights including Bronze-tailed Thornbill, the endemic Green-bearded Helmetcrest, several Noble

Snipes sitting in the open, Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, Many-striped Canastero, and the unique and endemic Apolinar's Wren. The open areas around a small farmstead held Chestnut-winged Cinclodes and Red-rumped Bush-Tyrant. We carefully checked the edge of the elfin forest and had our last tapaculo, the Pale-bellied Tapaculo come out into the open, completing our sweep of tapaculos and all seen! We drove to lower elevations where we had a delicious lunch of a Sancocho soup at a local environmental education center. We were even recruited to partake in the award ceremony for some local children that had completed a training course in bird studies. It was fun and rewarding to see the next generation of guides and conservationists. The traffic back to the Bogota airport was heavy but doable and we all wished each other a safe journey home. This concluded one of the most epic birding trips possible on the planet. ______
