WOMEN BIRDERS PROGRAM Sponsored by Jacamar Club and Vortex Optics, Bello Horizonte Cattle Ranching, Tambopata Madre de Dios - PERU 31 October 2020 Candy Echevaria1, Ana Amable2, Richard Amable3 [email protected] ¹ [email protected]² [email protected] 3 https://jacamarclub.com/ [email protected] [email protected] The “Women Birders”, a program created to empower women in the good ecological practices of birding & birdwatching in Peru and Bolivia. Through this program the women in the community will be able to increase their leadership and knowledge in conservation and ecotourism. Also, this will make a difference in their communities as they can represent their communities and will lead the changes in local conservation behavior. Finally, it will benefit directly to the conservation of local birds. The Jacamar Club programs perform a series of activities as a preliminary step to environmental education, ecotourism ideas and conservation of bird habitats in Peru and Bolivia.

It is one of the main commercial centers of the Amazon, has access on the interoceanic highway on the triple border with Bolivia and Brazil. Puerto Maldonado is located in the district and province of Tambopata in the department of Madre de Dios. It is a hot city with temperatures of up to 40 ° C, tropical with excellent tourist and cultural potential. TAMBOPATA PROVINCE Tambopata province is one of the three provinces of the Madre de Dios Region, in southern Peru. Contemplate a great biodiversity. The National Reserve of Tambopata is just 50 minutes by boat. It is one of the places where the Amazonia is in harmony, surrounded by lakes of meandering origin and many clay licks of parrots and macaws visiting it. Tambopata province has four districts. The birded route we chose is situated in the district of Las Piedras, road to Bajo Loboyoc (5 km), an area dedicated to agriculture as well as a small sector of ecotourism initiatives. - 2 - © 2020 Jacamar Club - Perú Map route to Bello Horizonte Cattle Ranching, by Google Map THE KEY TO THE BIRD LIST * = Species heard only Red – IUCN Red List Category IOC = International Ornithological Congress SACC = South American Classification Committee THE LIST TINAMIFORMES TINAMIDAE 1.

ESE’EJA NATIVE COMMUNITY OF INFIERNO Peru Equator Initiative Case Studies Local sustainable development solutions for people, nature, and resilient communities UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to fill this gap. The following case study is one in a growing series that details the work of Equator Prize winners – vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local success to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models for replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reference to ‘The Power of Local Action: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize’, a compendium of lessons learned and policy guidance that draws from the case material.

  • EASTERN ECUADOR RARITIES Custom Tour/ Nov-Dec 2020
    Tropical Birding Tours - Trip Report EASTERN ECUADOR RARITIES Custom Tour/ Nov-Dec 2020 A Tropical Birding Tours CUSTOM BIRDING TOUR EASTERN ECUADOR RARITIES 26 Nov-6 Dec, 2020 Report and photos by ANDRES VASQUEZ N., the guide for this tour One of the most wanted birds of the World, the mighty queen of the jungle, Harpy Eagle (picture above at a nesting site). This is probably the easiest access to a nest of this awesome bird of prey in all of Latin America. It involves only a 5-minute car ride from the door of the hotel, 15 minute boat ride on the Napo River, and 2 easy walks of about 10 minutes each on flat but muddy terrain. The nesting pair has been recorded on this site a couple years ago by a local farmer who did not know much about the importance of the bird and therefore it remained “hidden” to the birding world until this year when the same farmer saw the couple again and this time mentioned it to the local guides who recently had been more active in terms of birding. The word spread out quickly and we were forced to tweak the itinerary that we already had for this custom tour and included a visit to the site. It was a tricky visit since just two days before our arrival, a group of scientists that visited the site recommended that no tourists should visit yet. However, since we were already there and it was only two visitors, we joined an already scheduled monitoring visit during which we stayed at the nest site for exactly 3.5 minutes, saw the bird, took a couple photos and left.

  • Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & EAST ANDEAN FOOTHILLS EXTENSION
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) A Tropical Birding custom extension Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & EAST ANDEAN FOOTHILLS EXTENSION th nd 27 January - 2 February 2021 The main motivation for this custom extension was this Harpy Eagle. This was one of an unusually accessible nesting pair near the Amazonian town of Limoncocha that provided a worthy add-on to The Andes Introtour in northwest Ecuador that preceded this (Jose Illanes/Tropical Birding Tours). Guided by Jose Illanes Birds in the photos within this report are denoted in RED, all photos were taken by the Tropical Birding guide. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Ecuador: HARPY EAGLE & East Andean Foothills Extension (Jan-Feb 2021) INTRODUCTION This custom extension trip was set up for one person who simply could not get enough of Ecuador…John had just finished Ecuador: The Andes Introtour, in the northwest of the country, and also joined the High Andes Extension to that tour, which sampled the eastern highlands too. However, he was still missing vast chunks of this small country that is bursting with bird diversity. Most importantly, he was keen to get in on the latest “mega bird” in Ecuador, a very accessible Harpy Eagle nest, near a small Amazonian town, which had been hitting the local headlines and drawing the few birding tourists in the country at this time to come see it. With this in mind, TROPICAL BIRDING has been offering custom add-ons to all of our Ecuador offerings (for 2021 and 2022) to see this Harpy Eagle pair, with only three extra days needed to see it.

TRIBES OF EASTERN BOLIVIA AND THE MADEIRA HEADWATERS By Alfred Metraux THE CHIQUITOANS AND OTHER TRIBES OF THE PROVINCE OF CHIQUITOS TRIBAL DIVISIONS AND LANGUAGES It is extremely difficult to obtain a clear picture of the linguistic affili- ations or even of the exact locations of the tribes of the region known as the Province of Chiquitos, bordered on the south by the Chaco desert, on the east by the Paraguay River and by the marshes of its upper course, on the west by the Rio Grande (Guapay River), and on the north by a line more or less corresponding to lat. 15° W. (map 1, No. 2 ; map 4). The chronicles of the Conquest, the official documents and reports of local authorities, and later the letters and accounts of the Jesuits teem with names of tribes and subtribes, but seldom mention their linguistic affiliation and even their location. From the beginning of the Conquest, the Indians of the area just defined have been called Chiquito, "the small ones," irrespective of their linguistic family or culture.

Reproduction of any part of the text or images contained in this document is prohibited without the written consent of Donald J. Brightsmith. 1 Executive summary Many birds and mammals throughout the world consume soil. Recent studies have suggested that the western Amazon basin and specifically the Department of Madre de Dios, Peru have very high numbers of these soil consumption sites. In this region, soil consumption is common among birds (parrots, guans, and pigeons) and mammals (ungulates, rodents, and primates). Many of these species belong to families with large numbers of threatened and endangered species (parrots, guans, and primates). Other species play important roles in seed dispersal or play keystone roles in tropical forest dynamics (ungulates and large primates).

  • Colombia: from the Choco to Amazonia
    This gorgeous Cinnamon Screech Owl narrowly missed being our bird-of-the-trip! (Pete Morris) COLOMBIA: FROM THE CHOCO TO AMAZONIA 9/12/15 JANUARY – 5/11 FEBRUARY 2016 LEADER: PETE MORRIS Well, this was the first time that we had run our revised Colombia With a Difference tour – now aptly-named Colombia: From the Choco to Amazonia. Complete with all the trimmings, which included pre-tour visits to San Andres and Providencia, the Sooty-capped Puffbird Extension, and the post tour Mitu Extension, we managed to amass in excess of 850 species. Travelling to the Caribbean, the Pacific Coast, the High Andes and the Amazon all in one trip really was quite an experience, and the variety and diversity of species recorded, at times, almost overwhelming! Picking out just a few highlights from such a long list is difficult, but here’s just an 1 BirdQuest Tour Report:Colombia: From the Choco to Amazonia www.birdquest-tours.com The exquisite Golden-bellied Starfrontlet, one of a number of stunning hummers and our bird-of-the-trip! (Pete Morris) appetizer! The islands of San Andres and Providencia both easily gave up their endemic vireos – two Birdquest Lifers! The Sooty-capped Puffbirds were all we hoped for and a male Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird a bonus! A sneaky trip to Sumapaz National Park yielded several Green-bearded Helmetcrests and Bronze-tailed Thorn- bill. On the main tour we saw a huge number of goodies. Blue-throated, Dusky and Golden-bellied Starfrontlets (all stunners!); the rare Humboldt’s Sapphire was a Birdquest lifer; nightbirds included Black-and-white Owl and White-throated, Cinnamon and Choco Screech Owls; and a random selection of other favourites included Gorgeted Wood Quail, the much appreciated Brown Wood Rail, Beautiful Woodpecker, Chestnut-bellied Hum- mingbird, Black Inca, the brilliant Rusty-faced Parrot, Citron-throated Toucan, Recurve-billed Bushbird, Urrao Antpitta, Niceforo’s and Antioquia Wrens, the amazing Baudo Oropendola, Crested and Sooty Ant Tanagers and the rare Mountain Grackle.

This antimicrobial has a similar mechanism of action to the other macrolides (i.e., erythromycin) by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit.2 Azithromycin provides broad-spectrum antibiosis against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.2 It also has the ability to obtain sustained drug concentrations in tissues much greater than the corresponding plasma concentration.1,3 This study determined the pharmacokinetics of azithromycin (Zithromax®, Pfizer Inc., New York, NY 10017 USA) in ball pythons (Python regius), a species that is representative of the Boidae family. Snakes were administered azithromycin intravenously (i.v.) to determine distribution and orally (p.o.) to determine bioavailability and absorption. Seven ball pythons (two males, five females), weighing approximately 0.67-0.96 kg, were used in this experiment. Using a crossover design, each snake was given a single 10 mg/kg i.v. dose of azithromycin via cardiocentesis. For the oral study, each snake was dosed at 10 mg/kg using the same i.v. azithromycin preparation. Blood samples were collected prior to dosing and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr post-azithromycin administration.
