Brazil: Pantanal, Amazon and Cerrado PHOTO SUMMARY Brazil: Pantanal, Amazon and Cerrado Birding Tour 3-17 July 2018 This report is by Andres Vasquez, the guide for this tour from Tropical Birding Tours (www.tropicalbirding.com) Introduction: The following is a compilation of the best photos achieved during this tour that included birding in three different biomes of Central Brazil: two days in the dry scrubby Cerrado, six in the lush Amazon rainforest and the other six along the open but super rich Pantanal. At the end of this report a full list of birds and mammals recorded during the whole trip is included. This was a great tour organized by the Tropical Audubon Society and operated by Tropical Birding Tours. Species names and general locations are provided for each photo along with some further information for some specific photos. Highlights worth included: Greater Rhea, Hyacinth Macaws, Sungrebe, Sunbittern, 2 species of Curassow, Jabirus, King Vultures, great prolonged views of HARPY EAGLE!, Pheasent Cuckoo, the rare Green- tailed Goldenthroat, 8 species of puffbirds, 6 jacamars, 7 toucans, and 16 woodpeckers!, Cryptic Forest-Falcon, Kawall’s Parrot, Crimson-bellied Parakeets, 40 species of antbirds out of which Bare-faced Antbird was the favorite, Collared Crescentchest posing for photos, Ringed Antpipit, endless numbers of tyrant flycatchers and tanagers, Snow-capped Manakin (among 9 from that family), and JAGUARS, tons of Jaguars, 6 Brazilian Tapirs, various monkeys, etc. THE CERRADO: Black-throated Saltator in the Cerrado (above) and Flavescent Warbler in a nearby gallery forest One of the Cerrado specialties is this White-rumped Tanager [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 Collared Crescentchest was one of the most desired targets on this trip for one of the participan ts who is chasing all the bird families in South America. We had to work a little for this one since it was not close to the main road and some bush wacking was required . Once w e approached close enough , the bird responded quite well and gave us great views, as you can see! Another of the Crescentchest (above) ; and the not-easy -to-photograph Saffron-billed Sparrow [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 THE AMAZON: En route to Cristalino Jungle Lodge we stopped for these Red-breasted Meadowlarks (above and below) From the canopy tower we found tons of tanagers like this Black-faced Dacnis (above) and Turquoise Tanager (below) [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 Also flying close to eye-level we got Greater Yellow-headed Vulture (above) and Blue-and-yellow Macaws (below) Crimson-bellied Parakeets (above) were found near a small clay pond where they regularly descend into to ingest minerals. Forest interior in the Amazon is challenging, to say the least, in terms of photo opportunities so I could not get many photos while trying to show the birds to the participants but we managed a couple like the one below of the much sought after Amazonian Umbrellabird seen very well near a LEK inside the Ilha Ariosto on the Teles Pires River [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 Pied Puffbirds are regular along the Serra trails in open areas. Normally in the canopy, this individual was for a change at eye-level and we did not complain about it. While riding motorized canoes along the Cristalino River we got great birds that posed quite well for photos. This was the case for this ghostly Green Ibis (above) and the elegant Sunbittern (below) [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 This Harpy Eagle (above) was by a landslide the bird of the trip. We saw it right at dusk, when it was illuminated both by the last rays of sun and the first of the moon. It was distant and dark so the photo is not great but you can get the idea. We saw it from the boat while returning to the lodge one afternoon that we decided to stay until late in the forest looking for some nocturnal birds. We happily contemplated this beautiful huge raptor for several minutes before it flew away. Below you can see a Swallow-winged Puffbird, common near the dock at the lodge. The beautiful White Hawk (above) was seen on the day we departed from Cristalino towards the Pantanal. That day we also found a pair of Black Hawk-Eagles, a lonely Gray-lined Hawk and a few Roadside Hawks for a very “raptory” day. Below is the modest Blackish Nightjar that is sometimes found on the roofs of the staff cabins. [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 THE PANTANAL: On the very first day of birding the Pantanal we found two of the most wanted creatures of the area, the weird-looking Giant Anteater (above) and the also quite unique Red-legged Seriema (below) Driving near the shrinking ponds of Pousada Piuval we flushed a few Nacunda Nighthawks (below) and saw a ton of water related birds like this Bare-faced Ibis (above). [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 The stylish Long-tailed Ground-Dove above and two Buff-necked Ibis flying away close to dusk below Not only big birds are attractive in the Pantanal , small passerines like this Rusty-collared Seedeater w ere also eye candy during our birding days. This was photographed close to dusk from the Transpantaneira highway. [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 The gallery forests near the rivers are home to Pale-legged Horneros (above) and Band-tailed Antbirds (below) Gallery forests are also home to the sharp Helmeted Manakin, a bird that was a big target for most of the group. We had great views both in the Pantanal and previously in the Cerrado but the photo opportunities were only good the day we birded the rich patch of forest near Hotel Pantanal Mato Grosso that sits on the border of the Pixaim River. [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 Among many other birds we found in this walk were this White-wedged Piculet (above) and Buff-breasted Wren (below) From the same Hotel Pantanal Mato Grosso we took two boat rides that gave us great photography opportunities. On the menu were superb birds like this American Pygmy-Kingfisher (above) and the always charismatic Black- capped Donacobius which loves the floating vegetation along the river. That day we saw all 5 kingfisher species too . [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 My favorite shot of the whole trip was the one above, this one of the ultra-cute White-headed Marsh-Tyrants ound in gorgeous light one morning along the open grounds of the Pantanal. In the same bush a couple of minutes later we got this cooperative Grassland Sparrow, which is not as special-looking but was still nice to see. Finally we made it to the Cuiaba River in the afternoon of day 13. The sandy beaches held populations of Large-billed and Yellow-billed Terns (above) plus Black Skimmers (below), Pied Lapwings and Collared Plovers. [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 That afternoon we found our first Jaguars (a total of 6 we saw on the tour). These photos are of the very first one . The river also holds healthy populations of Giant Otters ( above) that feed on the huge amount of large fish, shared with tons of fishermen (tourists and local) and plenty of waterbirds like this young Rufescent Tiger-Heron (below). [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 We found a few new birds for the trip during our boat rides. In this case they were passerines in the form of Chotoy Spinetails (above) and White-browed Meadowlarks (below). Three more individuals were seen during the next day. The one above was quite active and did several kill attempts on caimans and capybaras without success during the time we managed to watch it. The one below was more passive. [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 White searching for Jaguar we found this very cooperative Sungrebe (above) which was always on the shady side of the river. On the other hand, this young Boat-billed Heron alerted us of the presence of a Jaguar when it flew nervously to a higher more exposed perch that its usual hidden roost. Back on land, wit hin the grounds of our hotel we managed great views of these sought -after species : Hyacinth Macaw ( above ) and the hulking Southern Screamer (below ). [email protected] +1-409-515-9110 On the last morning of the trip Toco Toucans (above) finally decided to pose for photos; and on the way back to the city of Cuiaba we picked up birds like Subtropical Doradito plus we managed nice photos of Rusty-backed Antwren. Final checklist of the tour: We recorded a total of 482 species of birds during the tour, out of which 436 were birds seen, 40 were heard only (H) and 9 were seen only by the tour leader (L). We also recorded 25 species of mammals.

RESUMO: Avifauna da região do Juruti, Pará, Brasil. A região que compreende o interflúvio Madeira‑Tapajós é certamente uma das regiões brasileiras de maior complexidade ambiental e um dos mais importantes centros de endemismos de aves da América do Sul, denominado centro de endemismo Madeira ou Rondônia. Entretanto, essa região vem sofrendo um crescente aumento nas pressões antrópicas, principalmente pelo desmatamento, o que implica uma forte preocupação sobre a conservação de toda a biota dessa região.

  • Bird Ecology, Conservation, and Community Responses
    BIRD ECOLOGY, CONSERVATION, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO LOGGING IN THE NORTHERN PERUVIAN AMAZON by NICO SUZANNE DAUPHINÉ (Under the Direction of Robert J. Cooper) ABSTRACT Understanding the responses of wildlife communities to logging and other human impacts in tropical forests is critical to the conservation of global biodiversity. I examined understory forest bird community responses to different intensities of non-mechanized commercial logging in two areas of the northern Peruvian Amazon: white-sand forest in the Allpahuayo-Mishana Reserve, and humid tropical forest in the Cordillera de Colán. I quantified vegetation structure using a modified circular plot method. I sampled birds using mist nets at a total of 21 lowland forest stands, comparing birds in logged forests 1, 5, and 9 years postharvest with those in unlogged forests using a sample effort of 4439 net-hours. I assumed not all species were detected and used sampling data to generate estimates of bird species richness and local extinction and turnover probabilities. During the course of fieldwork, I also made a preliminary inventory of birds in the northwest Cordillera de Colán and incidental observations of new nest and distributional records as well as threats and conservation measures for birds in the region. In both study areas, canopy cover was significantly higher in unlogged forest stands compared to logged forest stands. In Allpahuayo-Mishana, estimated bird species richness was highest in unlogged forest and lowest in forest regenerating 1-2 years post-logging. An estimated 24-80% of bird species in unlogged forest were absent from logged forest stands between 1 and 10 years postharvest.

    BIRDING THE ATLANTIC RAINFOREST, SOUTH-EAST BRAZIL ITORORO LODGE AND REGUA 11TH – 20TH MARCH 2018 White-barred Piculet (©Andy Foster) Guided and report compiled by Andy Foster www.serradostucanos.com.br Sunday 11th March The following 10 day tour was a private trip for a group of 4 friends. We all flew in from the UK on a BA flight landing the night of the 10th and stayed in the Linx Hotel located close to the International airport in Rio de Janeiro. We met up for breakfast at 07.00 and by 08.00 our driver had arrived to take us for the 2.5 hour drive to Itororo Lodge where we were to spend our first 6 nights birding the higher elevations of the Serra do Mar Mountains. On the journey up we saw Magnificent Frigatebird, Cocoi Heron, Great White Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Neotropic Cormorant and Roadside Hawk. By 10.30 we had arrived at the lodge and were greeted by Bettina and Rainer who would be our hosts for the next week. The feeders were busy at the lodge and we were soon picking up new species including Azure-shouldered Tanager, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Black-goggled Tanager, Sayaca Tanager, Ruby- crowned Tanager, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Magpie Tanager, Burnished-buff Tanager, Plain Parakeet, Maroon-bellied Parakeet, Rufous-bellied Thrush, Green-winged Saltator, Pale-breasted Thrush, Violet- capped Woodnymph, Black Jacobin, Scale-throated Hermit, Sombre Hummingbird, Brazilian Ruby and White-throated Hummingbird…. not bad for the first 30 minutes! We spent the last hour or so before lunch getting to grips with the feeder birds, we also picked up brief but good views of a Black-Hawk Eagle as it flew through the lodge gardens.

  • TOUR REPORT Southwestern Amazonia 2017 Final
    For the first time on a Birdquest tour, the Holy Grail from the Brazilian Amazon, Rondonia Bushbird – male (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S SOUTHWESTERN AMAZONIA 7 / 11 - 24 JUNE 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL What an impressive and rewarding tour it was this inaugural Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia. Sixteen days of fine Amazonian birding, exploring some of the most fascinating forests and campina habitats in three different Brazilian states: Rondonia, Amazonas and Acre. We recorded over five hundred species (536) with the exquisite taste of specialties from the Rondonia and Inambari endemism centres, respectively east bank and west bank of Rio Madeira. At least eight Birdquest lifer birds were acquired on this tour: the rare Rondonia Bushbird; Brazilian endemics White-breasted Antbird, Manicore Warbling Antbird, Aripuana Antwren and Chico’s Tyrannulet; also Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher, Acre Tody-Tyrant and the amazing Rufous Twistwing. Our itinerary definitely put together one of the finest selections of Amazonian avifauna, though for a next trip there are probably few adjustments to be done. The pre-tour extension campsite brings you to very basic camping conditions, with company of some mosquitoes and relentless heat, but certainly a remarkable site for birding, the Igarapé São João really provided an amazing experience. All other sites 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com visited on main tour provided considerably easy and very good birding. From the rich east part of Rondonia, the fascinating savannas and endless forests around Humaitá in Amazonas, and finally the impressive bamboo forest at Rio Branco in Acre, this tour focused the endemics from both sides of the medium Rio Madeira.

  • Brazil: the Pantanal and Amazon, July 2015
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Brazil: The Pantanal and Amazon, July 2015 BRAZIL: The Pantanal and Amazon 1-15 July 2015 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos, except for the Blue Finch, by Nick Athanas. Thanks to Mark Gawn for sharing his Blue Finch photo Bare-eyed Antbird was one of many highlights from this fun trip From the unparalleled biodiversity of the primeval Amazonian forest to the amazing abundance of wildlife in the Pantanal, this tour is always fascinating and great fun, and the superb lodges and tasty food make it especially enjoyable. This year was wetter than normal and we even got soaked once in the Pantanal, which is almost unheard of in July; the extra water definitely helped the overall bird numbers, so I certainly was not complaining, and it was still pretty darn dry compared to most South American tours. When I asked the group at the end of the trip for favorite sightings, everyone mentioned something totally different. There were so many memorable sightings that trying to pick one, or even a few, was almost futile. Some that were mentioned, in no real order, included: superb close-ups of Bare-eyed Antbirds at an antswarm at Cristalino (photo above); the “ginormous” Yellow Anaconda we saw crossing the Transpantanal Highway on our last full day, the minute and fabulous Horned Sungem from the Chapada, a superb encounter with the rare White-browed Hawk from one of the towers at Cristalino, our very successful hunt for the newly-described Alta Floresta Antpitta, and last but far from least, the magnificent Jaguar we saw for an extended period of time along the banks of the Três Irmãos River.

  • 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.
