Chestnut-bellied Cotinga 10. Coppery-chested Jacamar ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Due to incredibly complex geology and topography, southern Ecuador supports one of the most diverse habitat ranges in the world. Within 200 miles of the Pacific Coast, one can travel from the arid xerophytic habitat, through chocó and semi-deciduous tropical forest, over the continental divide’s treeless parámos and down to the lush, wet, foothill forests of the eastern Andes. Within these varied pristine habitats, the evolution of many fine endemic species has occurred. This year’s Southern Endemics tour was very special, especially because of our observation of a new species of hummingbird: the Blue-throated Hillstar. According to the locals, we were the first tour group to ever see Oreotrochilus cyanolaemus, a striking species newly described to science as recently as September 2018! Also, the number of other amazing birds that we saw was simply overwhelming, and the highlights of our epic trip are further narrated in this report. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The Tour in Detail Our tour commenced in the port city of Guayaquil. During the drive out of town, we saw plenty of birdlife, including Ringed Kingfisher, Wattled Jacana, Snail Kite, Savanna Hawk, Black-bellied Whistling Ducks and even a flock of Roseate Spoonbills. Our first scheduled birding stop of the tour was in the lower subtropics of the western Andes, along the Molleturo road. The principal target at this site was El Oro Tapaculo, a very tricky Ecuadorian endemic. Recent sightings in the Buenaventura reserve of this species were rather scarce, so securing it today would increase our chances and would also save us time later on. Fairly soon, we located a singing El Oro Tapaculo on territory but, unfortunately, as with many tapaculos (especially this species!), the bird eluded us, and we did not manage to get it in view. A pair of Slaty Antwren, however, showed themselves surprisingly well. We continued the drive upslope to our main birding site for the day: El Cajas National Giant Conebill by Gil Ewing Park. Our first stop at high elevation near the tree line was a slam-dunk: cracking views of Giant Conebill, a Polylepis forest specialist! Other species that we got here included Spectacled Whitestart, White-throated Tyrannulet, Pearled Treerunner, Hooded Siskin and Andean Tit-Spinetail. Higher up, at the scenic Laguna Toreadora, we met our local guide, Edi. The deep blue Tit-like Dacnis was quickly found, but remained rather elusive. In contrast, Tawny Antpitta was foraging right out in the open! Two other major targets that we got to see were Ecuadorian Hillstar and Blue-mantled Thornbill. The hillstar was a splendid male foraging on Chuquiraga jussieui flowers; Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Ecuador Trip Report – RBL Ecuador – Southern Endemics 2019 3 while the thornbill was characteristically foraging on the ground among the cushion grass. In scrub lower down, we targeted the endemic Violet-throated Metaltail, a highly range-restricted species. A Tyrian Metaltail caused some confusion at first but, eventually, we got great views of multiple male Violet- throated Metaltails. A mixed-species flock yielded some neat tanagers, including Superciliaried Hemispingus and Blue-backed Conebill. Kathy spotted two juvenile Carunculated Caracaras hiding under a bush, which we scoped nicely. Mouse-colored Thistletail was another target that we watched in the scrub and, on our way down, we enjoyed Andean Gulls circling overhead. The hotel grounds in Duran were productive in the early morning, with several goodies including Golden Grosbeak, Green-tailed Trainbearer, Hooded Siskin, Band-tailed Seedeater, Sparkling Violetear and Chiguanco Thrush. We arrived at Jocotoco Foundation’s Yunguilla reserve in good time, where we enjoyed a bird-frenzy. Pygmy owl whistles attracted various species, and we got excellent views of Line-cheeked Spinetail, Pacific Elaenia, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Smoky-brown Woodpecker, Slate-throated Whitestart, Fawn-breasted Tanager and a lovely pair of Purple-collared Woodstar. Black-lored Yellowthroat was Ecuadorian Hillstar by John Maginness singing, but did not come out all the way. The reserve’s ranger, Enrique, accompanied us to the prime site for Pale-headed Brushfinch, our key target for the day. With no reported sighting of the brushfinch for decades, many feared extinction. Indeed, the population’s discovery in the late 90s was considered a “re- discovery” of the species! Fewer than ten pairs of this endemic were estimated at the time, but through subsequent intensive conservation efforts to thwart the Shiny Cowbird’s nest invasions, and a hands-off approach to habitat recovery from cattle grazing, the population numbers have risen impressively. It was a hike to the scrub forest on the other side of the valley, but it paid off: after some hard work, we all got excellent views of the endemic Pale-headed Brushfinch, a species that can be elusive, especially at this time of year when they’re nesting. In town, we enjoyed a good portion of fresh shrimp for lunch. In the afternoon, we travelled southward to Saraguro. A pair of Pacific Pygmy Owl showed really nicely during a roadside stop in the dry Oña Valley. Today’s trip was one-off, targeting a very special bird: Blue- throated Hillstar, a new species to science that was described as recently as September 2018. It was a long drive to the unique paramó habitat of the hillstar, but it was very much worth it! The weather looked promising as we were Line-cheeked Spinetail by Gil Ewing approaching Cerro de Arcos, a remote cordillera on the border of the El Oro and Loja provinces. We met the locals that managed the access to the site and switched to an old Toyota Land Cruiser truck for a very bumpy drive up the mountain. We went straight to the hotspot after arrival but had to take it easy because of the high elevation and sloping terrain. Nevertheless, the first Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Ecuador Trip Report – RBL Ecuador – Southern Endemics 2019 4 hummingbird that we saw was a male Blue-throated Hillstar on a snag, and everybody managed to secure brief views of it! Now we were officially the first set-departure tour group to see this species in the wild. How exciting! We then sat down in the paramó and waited for the hillstar to come back. The weather was pleasant and the scenery was great, so even without many birds being seen, it was very special to be at this place. Eventually, we got prolonged scope views of the hillstar and confirmed the presence of at least two males. The birds were surprisingly shy, but most of us did get to document this extremely rare species with our cameras. At the refuge, we celebrated our special sighting with a nice warm lunch prepared by the locals. Other species of interest that we got to see at Cerro de Arcos included Mountain Caracara, Andean Teal, Brown-bellied Swallow, Many-striped Canastero and Paramo Pipit. On our way back, we had to wait for road construction but, luckily, some good birds were around like Tufted Tit-Tyrant, White-crested Elaenia, Purple-throated Sunangel, Green-tailed Trainbearer and Giant Hummingbird! The following morning, we birded the Saraguro area up to Cerro Acacana. A loose mixed-species flock was a great start, with several species showing nicely, including Crimson- mantled Woodpecker, Black-capped Tyrannulet, Yellow- Blue-throated Hillstar by Gil Ewing breasted Brushfinch, Glossy Flowerpiercer and Black-crested Warbler. A Rainbow Starfrontlet also showed up swiftly. Higher up the road, we ran into another mixed- species flock, pulling out goodies like Golden-crowned Tanager, Lacrimose Mountain Tanager and Paramo Seedeater! A stunning Glowing Puffleg posed for a prolonged moment in front of us. We started our search for the sought-after Crescent-faced Antpitta in the bamboo, but had no luck at the first spot. We did, however, get nice views of Andean Pygmy Owl here. Further up the track, the antpitta sang – this was our chance! We carefully lined up behind a camouflaged sheet but, as the antpitta started to approach us, we got distracted by a cotinga-like bird that crossed the track behind us. Believe it or not, a minute later we were all watching a pair of Chestnut-bellied Cotingas posing for us while the antpitta was still calling in the background. Just epic! After prolonged views of this rare and local cotinga, we tried for the Crescent-faced Antpitta again, which soon popped out nicely – mind- blowing views of another cracker! Thrilled and in a state of birding ecstasy, we descended to nearby Huashapampa. We encountered a flock of Golden-plumed Parakeets, but the hoped-for Red-faced Parrot was not around. Hooded Mountain Tanagers showed nicely; while a nearby Grey- breasted Mountain Toucan remained heard only. For the remainder of the day, we travelled to Zamora. At the Rio Zamora, we got the hoped-for Fasciated Tiger Heron and Cliff Flycatcher. Fruiting trees here attracted various stunning tanagers, including Paradise, Bay-headed, Spotted, Magpie, Golden-eared, Blue-necked and Guira. Red-headed Barbet and Chestnut-vented Conebill were Chestnut-bellied Cotinga by John Maginness other welcome additions to our growing list!

  • A New Tapaculo Related to Scytalopus Rodriguezi from Serranía De Los Yariguíes, Colombia
    Thomas M. Donegan et al. 256 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) A new tapaculo related to Scytalopus rodriguezi from Serranía de los Yariguíes, Colombia by Thomas M. Donegan, Jorge E. Avendaño & Frank Lambert Received 15 February 2013 Summary.―Upper Magdalena Tapaculo Scytalopus rodriguezi was described (in 2005) as restricted to the headwaters of the Magdalena Valley in dpto. Huila, Colombia. Here we describe a new but related taxon from the Serranía de los Yariguíes, dpto. Santander, Colombia, c.580 km to the north, which difers in its darker dorsal coloration, shorter tail, smaller body, lower mass and lower pitched song with reduced frequency bandwidth in its notes. Scytalopus tapaculos are small, primarily montane suboscines that inhabit the understorey of Neotropical forests. Species limits within the genus are problematic because of the morphological homogeneity of diferent populations, which masks a rich diversity, only detected in recent decades via vocal and genetic studies. Since vocalisations are believed to be innate and distinctive among genetically divergent Scytalopus species, and vocal diferentiation tracks molecular diferentiation more so than morphology (Arctander & Fjeldså 1994), the number of recognised species of Scytalopus has increased dramatically from ten in the mid 1990s to more than 40 today (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997; see also, e.g., Krabbe & Schulenberg 2003, Krabbe & Cadena 2010, Hosner et al. 2013). Four new Scytalopus taxa have been described from Colombia since the late 1990s: Chocó Tapaculo S. chocoensis (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997), Upper Magdalena Tapaculo S. rodriguezi (Krabbe et al. 2005), Stiles’ Tapaculo S. stilesi (Cuervo et al. 2005) and a subspecies of Pale-bellied Tapaculo S.

  • Field Guides Birding Tours Southwestern Ecuador
    Field Guides Tour Report SOUTHWESTERN ECUADOR SPECIALTIES: JOCOTOCO FOUNDATION Mar 17, 2012 to Mar 31, 2012 Mitch Lysinger A common hummingbird of Ecuador's southwest, the Amazilia Hummingbird comes in two forms here: this lowland form, and a whiter-bellied highland form sometimes split off as Loja Hummingbird, A. alticola. (Photo by tour participant Brian Stech) This was yet another SW Ecuador trip packed full of spectacular highlights and surprises, the biggest bird surprise being the Buff-browed Foliage-gleaner that we found on the lower slopes of the Tapichalaca reserve, way out of its known range. This is a bird that had previously only been known in Ecuador from a record or two right along the Peruvian border! Many folks sign up for this tour for the chance at seeing the superb Jocotoco Antpitta; believe it or not "Superb Antpitta" was actually one of the name candidates! We indeed had superb views of this beast; seeing it is now not at all the chore it once was. Now? Hike in along the trail, have a seat on the bench, and they come running in to gobble down some jumbo-sized worms. What a show! Before this you had to pray that one would answer in the hopes of even just getting a quick glimpse. The weather surprises weren't quite as pleasant, causing huge numbers of landslides in the deep SW that prevented us from visiting a few key spots, such as the highland Tumbesian areas around Utuana reserve. The rains came about a month early this year, and they were particularly intense; in hindsight I actually count ourselves lucky because if we had run the trip about a week or two earlier, the road conditions would probably have made passage throughout SW Ecuador a complete nightmare! The countless landslides that we drove by were a testament to this.

  • 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.

  • COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Gu
    COLOMBIA 2019 Ned Brinkley Departments of Vaupés, Chocó, Risaralda, Santander, Antioquia, Magdalena, Tolima, Atlántico, La Guajira, Boyacá, Distrito Capital de Bogotá, Caldas These comments are provided to help independent birders traveling in Colombia, particularly people who want to drive themselves to birding sites rather than taking public transportation and also want to book reservations directly with lodgings and reserves rather than using a ground agent or tour company. Many trip reports provide GPS waypoints for navigation. I used GoogleEarth/ Maps, which worked fine for most locations (not for El Paujil reserve). I paid $10/day for AT&T to hook me up to Claro, Movistar, or Tigo through their Passport program. Others get a local SIM card so that they have a Colombian number (cheaper, for sure); still others use GooglePhones, which provide connection through other providers with better or worse success, depending on the location in Colombia. For transportation, I used a rental 4x4 SUV to reach places with bad roads but also, in northern Colombia, a subcompact rental car as far as Minca (hiked in higher elevations, with one moto-taxi to reach El Dorado lodge) and for La Guajira. I used regular taxis on few occasions. The only roads to sites for Fuertes’s Parrot and Yellow-eared Parrot could not have been traversed without four-wheel drive and high clearance, and this is important to emphasize: vehicles without these attributes would have been useless, or become damaged or stranded. Note that large cities in Colombia (at least Medellín, Santa Marta, and Cartagena) have restrictions on driving during rush hours with certain license plate numbers (they base restrictions on the plate’s final numeral).

  • 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.

  • Southeastern Brazil: Best of the Atlantic Forest
    SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL: BEST OF THE ATLANTIC FOREST OCTOBER 21–NOVEMBER 5, 2018 Green-crowned Plovercrest (©Kevin J. Zimmer) LEADERS: KEVIN ZIMMER & RICARDO BARBOSA LIST COMPILED BY: KEVIN ZIMMER VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL: BEST OF THE ATLANTIC FOREST October 21–November 5, 2018 By Kevin Zimmer Once again, our Southeastern Brazil tour delivered the bonanza of Atlantic Forest endemics and all-around great birding that we have come to expect from this region. But no two trips are ever exactly alike, and, as is always the case, the relative success of this tour in any given year, at least as measured in total species count and number of endemics seen, comes down to weather. And as we all know, the weather isn’t what it used to be, anywhere! We actually experienced pretty typical amounts of rain this year, and although it no doubt affected our birding success to some extent, its overall impact was relatively minimal. Nonetheless, we tallied 410 species , a whopping 150 of which were regional and/or Brazilian endemics! These figures become all the more impressive when you consider that 47 of the wider ranging species not included as “endemics” in the preceding tallies are represented in southeast Brazil by distinctive subspecies endemic to the Atlantic Forest region, and that at least 15–20 of these subspecies that we recorded during our tour are likely to be elevated to separate species status in the near future. We convened in mid-morning at the hotel in São Paulo and then launched into the five- hour drive to Intervales State Park, my own personal favorite among the many great spots in southeast Brazil.

We had particular success with some tricky groups, finding 12 Rails and Crakes (all but 1 being seen!), 11 Antpittas (8 seen), 90 Tanagers and allies, 71 Hummingbirds, 95 Flycatchers. We also found many of the iconic endemic species of Northern Peru, such as White-winged Guan, Peruvian Plantcutter, Marañón Crescentchest, Marvellous Spatuletail, Pale-billed Antpitta, Long-whiskered Owlet, Royal Sunangel, Koepcke’s Hermit, Ash-throated RBL Northern Peru Trip Report 2016 2 Antwren, Koepcke’s Screech Owl, Yellow-faced Parrotlet, Grey-bellied Comet and 3 species of Inca Finch. We also found more widely distributed, but always special, species like Andean Condor, King Vulture, Agami Heron and Long-tailed Potoo on what was a very successful tour. Top 10 Birds 1.
