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.

  • Northwest Argentina (Custom Tour) 13 – 24 November, 2015 Tour Leader: Andrés Vásquez Co-Guided by Sam Woods
    Northwest Argentina (custom tour) 13 – 24 November, 2015 Tour leader: Andrés Vásquez Co-guided by Sam Woods Trip Report by Andrés Vásquez; most photos by Sam Woods, a few by Andrés V. Elegant Crested-Tinamou at Los Cardones NP near Cachi; photo by Sam Woods Introduction: Northwest Argentina is an incredible place and a wonderful birding destination. It is one of those locations you feel like you are crossing through Wonderland when you drive along some of the most beautiful landscapes in South America adorned by dramatic rock formations and deep-blue lakes. So you want to stop every few kilometers to take pictures and when you look at those shots in your camera you know it will never capture the incredible landscape and the breathtaking feeling that you had during that moment. Then you realize it will be impossible to explain to your relatives once at home how sensational the trip was, so you breathe deeply and just enjoy the moment without caring about any other thing in life. This trip combines a large amount of quite contrasting environments and ecosystems, from the lush humid Yungas cloud forest to dry high Altiplano and Puna, stopping at various lakes and wetlands on various altitudes and ending on the drier upper Chaco forest. Tropical Birding Tours Northwest Argentina, Nov.2015 p.1 Sam recording memories near Tres Cruces, Jujuy; photo by Andrés V. All this is combined with some very special birds, several endemic to Argentina and many restricted to the high Andes of central South America. Highlights for this trip included Red-throated

  • New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’S Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma Monorhis )
    his is the 20th published report of the ABA Checklist Committee (hereafter, TCLC), covering the period July 2008– July 2009. There were no changes to commit - tee membership since our previous report (Pranty et al. 2008). Kevin Zimmer has been elected to serve his second term (to expire at the end of 2012), and Bill Pranty has been reelected to serve as Chair for a fourth year. During the preceding 13 months, the CLC final - ized votes on five species. Four species were accepted and added to the ABA Checklist , while one species was removed. The number of accepted species on the ABA Checklist is increased to 960. In January 2009, the seventh edition of the ABA Checklist (Pranty et al. 2009) was published. Each species is numbered from 1 (Black-bellied Whistling-Duck) to 957 (Eurasian Tree Sparrow); ancillary numbers will be inserted for all new species, and these numbers will be included in our annual reports. Production of the seventh edi - tion of the ABA Checklist occupied much of Pranty’s and Dunn’s time during the period, and this com - mitment helps to explain the relative paucity of votes during 2008–2009 compared to our other recent an - nual reports. New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis ). ABA CLC Record #2009-02.

When they removed the cuticle from a portion of an egg sample—they found that it was blue underneath, but that the iridescence was gone.

Realizamos 202 censos (34 otoño e invierno 2002, 36 primavera 2002, 71 verano 2002-2003, 33 otoño e invierno 2003, 10 verano 2004 y 18 otoño e invierno 2004). El éxito de muestreo (al menos un individuo por muestra) fue del 72%. Encontramos 12 individuos en 1000 hectáreas durante la época no reproductiva distribuidos en 5 grupos y 22 individuos a fines de enero (época reproductiva). A diferencia deE. elegans, los grupos eran de no más de 4 individuos, generalmente de 3. Cada grupo en sus aproximadas 200 ha de territorio recorren las sendas lentamente mientras buscan alimento. Prefieren el bosque de quebrachos y algarrobos pero usan también otros ambientes, además penetran en los campos cultivados en busca de insectos. A fines de la primavera y comienzos del verano, en concordancia con la llegada de las lluvias, aumentó un 80% el número de individuos y se observó que a los residentes se unieron individuos de áreas vecinas.

  • Natural History and Breeding Behavior of the Tinamou, Nothoprocta Ornata
    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY VoL. 72 APRIL, 1955 No. 2 NATURAL HISTORY AND BREEDING BEHAVIOR OF THE TINAMOU, NOTHOPROCTA ORNATA ON the high mountainous plain of southern Peril west of Lake Titicaca live three speciesof the little known family Tinamidae. The three speciesrepresent three different genera and grade in size from the small, quail-sizedNothura darwini found in the farin land and grassy hills about Lake Titicaca between 12,500 and 13,300 feet to the large, pheasant-sized Tinamotis pentlandi in the bleak country between 14,000 and 16,000 feet. Nothoproctaornata, the third species in this area and the one to be discussedin the present report, is in- termediate in size and generally occurs at intermediate elevations. In Peril we have encountered Nothoproctabetween 13,000 and 14,300 feet. It often lives in the same grassy areas as Nothura; indeed, the two speciesmay be flushed simultaneouslyfrom the same spot. This is not true of Nothoproctaand the larger tinamou, Tinamotis, for although at places they occur within a few hundred yards of each other, Nothoproctais usually found in the bunch grassknown locally as ichu (mostly Stipa ichu) or in a mixture of ichu and tola shrubs, whereas Tinamotis usually occurs in the range of a different bunch grass, Festuca orthophylla. The three speciesof tinamous are dis- tinguished by the inhabitants, some of whom refer to Nothura as "codorniz" and to Nothoproctaas "perdiz." Tinamotis is always called "quivia," "quello," "keu," or some similar derivative of its distinctive call. The hilly, almost treeless countryside in which Nothoproctalives in southern Peril is used primarily for grazing sheep, alpacas,llamas, and cattle.

Rondeau 798, 5000 Córdoba, Córdoba, Argentina. 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT.— To determine movement patterns and home range of wild Greater Rhea (Rhea americana), two subadult males were radio-tracked during the non-breeding season in a relict grassland of San Luis Province, Argentina. The average home range was 452.8 ha, the average daily distance travelled was 1.08 km/day, and the maximum distance from the capture/release site was 13.66 km. Rheas showed differences in habitat types used throughout the day. Grasslands were more frequently used early in the morning and late in the afternoon, whereas cultivated pastures (Medicago sativa) were used at noon.

The identification of predators of birds’ nests, crucial to a better understanding of predator-prey interac- tions, remains poorly known. Here we provide evidence that birds, and especially passerines, may depredate birds’ nests in the Cerrado (Neotropical Savannah) of Central Brazil. Data was collected primarily in a Conservation Unit (Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas) during the breeding season, between 2003 and 2007. We report and discuss details on 14 events of nest predation, 12 of which by passerines, mostly by curl-crested jays – Cyanocorax cristatellus (Temminck, 1823). The results of our study suggest that the role of birds as nest predators in the Cerrado has been underestimated and needs to be further investigated. KEY WORDS. Cerrado; bird; passerine.
