    Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica Photo Journey: July 2017 Costa Rica Photo Journey 16-25 July 2017 Tour Leader: Jay Packer Many thanks to Deepak Ramineedi for allowing us to include his photos in this trip report. This Yellow-throated Toucan at Laguna del Lagarto wasn’t bothered at all by the rain. Note: Except where noted otherwise, all photos in this trip report were taken by Jay Packer. www.tropicalbirding.com +1- 409-515-9110 [email protected] Page 1 Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica Photo Journey: July 2017 Introduction This Costa Rican photo journey featured visits to five regions of this small Central American country. We covered the moist Caribbean slope, Caribbean lowlands, dry forests on the Pacific slope, a large tropical river, and cloud forests of the volcanic highlands. The clients on the tour were a young couple and their 8-month old son. Given the considerations of traveling with an infant, the pace of the tour was relaxed and much of the photography was done at feeders or from the car. Even so, the diversity of Costa Rica was impressive as we encountered almost 200 species, photographing most of the targets that we hoped to see. Photographic highlights of the trip included stunning shots of toucan species in the rain, great hummingbird multiflash photography, a nesting pair of Turquoise-browed Motmots, Spectacled Owl, King Vultures, Resplendent Quetzal, very cooperative Great Green and Scarlet Macaws, Costa Rican Pygmy-Owl, and more. 16 July 2017 We began the tour with a drive out of San Jose to the well known Casa de Cope, west of Guápiles.

  • Turquoise Dacnis Dacnis Hartlaubi, Further Evidence of Use of Shade Coffee Plantations
    Turquoise Dacnis Dacnis hartlaubi, further evidence of use of shade coffee plantations Jorge E. Botero and Juan C. Verhelst Cotinga 15 (2001): 34–37 El Dacnis Turquesa es una especie endémica y vulnerable de Colombia con una distribución fragmentada y restringida y poblaciones bajas. Se ha observado en bordes de bosques en 13 sitios en los Andes entre 1.350 y 2.200 m de altitud. En un estudio de la avifauna en cafetales, censamos las aves e investigamos la composición y estructura de los sombríos en localidades situadas en Antioquia, Quindío, Caldas y Santander. El Dacnis Turquesa solamente se observó en dos cafetales con sombrío de Támesis, Antioquia, en siete ocasiones, entre febrero y abril de 1999. Solamente se observaron machos en grupos de dos o tres individuos o en bandadas mixtas. En estos sombríos predominaron los árboles Inga spp. y Cordia alliodora. Se encontraron diferencias estructurales entre los sombríos de Támesis en donde el dacnis estaba presente y ausente, lo que indicaría que la especie no prefiere los sombríos más altos, con más árboles o con dosel más denso. Sin embargo, solamente se observó en cafetales aledaños a fragmentos de bosque. Nuestras observaciones extienden el rango conocido para la especie y confirman la fragmentación de su distribución y población baja. Es necesario continuar los estudios sobre su ecología y comportamiento, su aparente segregación sexual y el uso que hacen de los fragmentos de bosque y cafetales. Esa información es necesaria para su conservación. Introduction Turquoise Dacnis Dacnis hartlaubi is a rare Colombian endemic with an apparently limited and disjunct distribution2,4.

Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.

'Apapane are common in mesic and wet forests above 1,000 m elevation on the islands of Hawai'i, Maui, and Kaua'i; locally common at higher elevations on O'ahu; and rare or absent on Lāna'i and Moloka'i. density may exceed 3,000 birds/km2 The 'Apapane and the 'I'iwi (Vestiaria at times of 'ōhi'a flowering, among coccinea) are the only two species of Hawaiian the highest for a noncolonial honeycreeper in which the same subspecies species. Birds in breeding condition occurs on more than one island, although may be found in any month of the historically this is also true of the now very rare year, but peak breeding occurs 'Ō'ū (Psittirostra psittacea).
