TRIP REPORT Northeast October 2008 Kini Roesler

WWW.SERIEMATOURS.COM INTRODUCTION

Our annual tour to Northeast Argentina took place between 13th and 23rd of October. The trip total was 408, a great achievement which contained a good variety of families. It was particularly interesting as regards raptors, since we had 23 diurnal including the much sought‐after (and Endangered) Crowned Eagle. We also had excellent views of several secretive species, such as Yellow‐ breasted Crake and . A trip surprise was a trio of Chaco Pipits displaying on a wheat field in Entre Rios (a first provincial record). Other highlights worth mentioning include White‐bearded Antshrike, Black‐and‐white Monjita, Strange‐tailed Tyrant, Yellow Cardinal, , Saffron‐cowled Blackbird, to name just a few. As usual, our trip started in Buenos Aires. This year an unprecedented drought was affecting the whole region, so there was no water in any of the lagoons at Costanera Sur. Additionally, a rain storm started during our visit, so we decided to move out and spend some time at some city parks were we had White‐tufted, Pied‐billed and Great Grebes, two species of coots (White‐winged and Red‐gartered) and some herons. The lack of water in Buenos Aires was later compensated as we proceeded on our way up north. At the following site, the Otamendi Nature Reserve, we found two specialties of the area: Curve‐billed and Straight‐billed Reedhaunters. Some ducks and ibises were added to the list too, together with Checkered Woodpecker, Wren‐like Rushbird, Spix’s Spinetail, Sulfur‐throated Spinetail, Rufous‐ cappecappedd AAntshrikentshrik e, DiDiademedademed TanagerTanager anandd many others others. Shortly after, we were birding the next province to the north, Entre Ríos. We counted numerous Southern Screamers, the three species of Whistling‐Ducks and Rosy‐billed Pochard. Bicolored Hawk, Crane Hawk, Aplomado Falcon, White‐fronted Woodpecker, Scimitar‐billed Woodcreeper, Suiriri Flycatcher, Bearded Tachuri, Black‐and‐White Monjita and Xenopsaris are some examples of seen in the woods and savannas typical of this province. The endangered Saffron‐cowled Blackbird was one of the highlights in the area.

Reaching Iberá marshlands, its spectacular extension allowed us to find a good variety of both common and very rare birds. Rufescent Tiger‐Heron, Roseate Spoonbill and three species of storks (Jabiru, Maguari and Wood) were numerous, and we counted Egrets by the thousands. Snail Kites and Long‐winged Harriers patrolled the marshes incessantly, and we saw a Cinereous Harrier hunting a Blackbird! Other specialties seen in the area include Strange‐tailed Tyrant and a collection of Seedeaters: Rusty‐collared, Capped, Tawny‐bellied, Dark‐throated, Marsh, Rufous‐rumped and Chestnut. Many of these species are range restricted and threatened. We also did very well with rails on this trip. Giant Wood‐Rail was largely the commonest one, and at dawn and dusk we heard Ash‐throated Crake. Exploring other areas by land we added Spot‐flanked Gallinule, Plumbeous, Blackish and Spotted Rails (another reclusive species). During the boat trip in Iberá we had Purple Gallinule, the elusive Rufous‐sided Crake and another trip specialty: the very secretive Yellow‐breasted Crake. From the boat we also enjoyed views of White‐headed Marsh‐ Tyrant. Two of the best species of the trip appeared while exploring the savannas. We had a fantastic sighting of two different Crowned Eagles, and two pairs of Yellow Cardinal were added to our rare bird list. As we proceeded to the north, we caught several migrating waders, such as Greater and Lesser yellowlegs, Solitary and Pectoral Sandpipers, and the Upland Sandpiper (one was perching on a tree!). Shortly after crossing the border into the province of Misiones, we entered the spectacular Atlantic Forest. The most diverse ecoregion of the country awaited us for the last part of the trip. On our first day birding here we visited Salto Encantado Provincial Park, a rather unknown place with lots to offer: Spot‐winged Wood‐Quail, Tataupa Tinamou, Rufous‐thighed Kite (possibly nesting?), Spot‐backed Antshrike, Short‐tailed Antthrush and Green‐chinned Euphonia are some examples of the good findings.

Later on, we birded the central mountain chain that runs down the province of Misiones like a dorsal spine. Relict Araucaria forest patches near San Pedro hold some spectacular birds like Araucaria Tit‐Spinetail, Chestnut‐backed , Red‐capped Parrot and three specials: Vinaceous Parrot, Canebrake Groundcreeper and White‐bearded Antshrike. We had all of them after working several sites near the village. A night walk produced a pair of Stygian Owls.

Ultimately, we reached our final destination: the town of Puerto Iguazú, the doorway to the mighty fallsfalls.. Birding on forest trails in and around the National Park we found the endangered Black‐fronted Piping‐Guan (with two chicks!) and a myriad of species from all families: Great‐dusky Swift, Black‐ throated and Surucua Trogons, Blond‐crested Woodpecker, Black‐capped Foliage‐Gleaner, Black‐ billed Scythebill, Red‐ruffed Fruitcrow and Creamy‐bellied Gnatcatcher, etc. Some stands of were flowering this season and we found numerous Temminck’s Seedeater feasting on the seeds. Finally, a customary visit to the hummingbird feeders treated us with face to face views of seven species, including Black Jacobin, Blue‐tufted Starthroat and Planalto Hermit. Once again, the fields, marshes and delighted us with their extraordinary variety and abundance of birds. The total list for the trip and the quality of our observations filled our expectations widely and the views of the vast, wild landscapes of Argentine Mesopotamia will surely linger long in our memories.
