Introduction

Not surprisingly, the endemic–rich northern part of Peru acts as a magnet to watchers. You should go there! For various reasons the five of us (Peter van Scheepen, Graham Tebb, Gerlinde Taurer, Peter Los and Dick Meijer) decided to ask –Tours (www.tanagertours.com) to offer a trip during which we might: see for which stake outs have been found only recently or that were recently described: Scarlet–banded Barbet, White masked , Cordillera Azul Antbird, ‘Yungas’ and ‘Tschudi’s’ and Long–whiskered Owlet; find the many (45) often rare and beautiful (Marvelous Spatuletail!) endemic species of this part of Peru; find endemic and range–restricted species that we had previously missed in Northern Peru, elsewhere in Peru or in : White–cheeked, Shrike–like and Chestnut–crested and Dotted Tanager; improve heard–only–records of much sought–after but difficult to see species, such as Pale–billed, Rusty–tinged and Chestnut and Blackish, Trilling, Rufous–vented, Large–footed and White–crowned ; see and photograph many of these rare ; enjoy the scenery and wild life of this remote part of Peru.

Miguel Lezama of Tanager Tours proposed an itinerary – more or less the standard Northern Peru Enigmatic Missing Species trip of Tanager Tours – that seemed to meet our wishes. Three of us (Peter van Scheepen, Peter Los and Dick Meijer) wanted an extension to El Molino to look for Purple– backed Sunbeam, White–cheeked and Ancash . Most – Gerlinde was visiting Peru for the first time – of us had visited Peru once or several times before and two of us had been to northern Peru, so our wish lists included mainly difficult species: the bar was set high.

We succeeded in finding Scarlet–banded Barbet, Cordillera Azul Antbird (both only recently described), ‘Yungas’ (yet to be described) and ‘Tschudi’s’ Woodcreeper (potential split from Ocellated) in Plataforma. We saw White–masked Antbird (recently refound) in San Lorenzo (Loreto) and Long–whiskered Owlet (until recently known from a few mist net catches, now there are stakeouts) in Fundo Alto Nieva.

Of the 45 endemics of (northern) Peru that could be seen on our route we found 37, including a beautiful adult male Marvelous Spatuletail (see table 1). We unsuccessfully looked for Ash–breasted Antwren for nearly a full day above Waqanki lodge and made a second fruitless attempt below Santa Rosa the next day, which was a shame. We did not really go for the other eight endemics theoretically possible on our route so missing them hurts less.

Of the Peruvian endemics and range–restricted species missed in Peru during previous visits White–cheeked Cotinga turned out to be hard and was only seen briefly by one of us and our guide and thus remains much sought–after, Dotted Tanager was readily found near Tarapoto. Despite considerable efforts we failed to find Royal Sunangel (not present at the feeders at Fundo Alto Nuevo) and Ash–throated Antwren. May be next time!

We fared quite well on the notoriously skulking , antpittas and tapaculos: we had great views of one , five antpittas and five tapaculos. Still, three antpittas and two tapaculos were heard only (see table 2).

Gnateaters, antpittas and tapaculos

Chestnut–crowned Gnateater Seen at Plataforma Scaled Antpitta Heard at Plataforma and on ridge above Waqanki lodge Chestnut–crowned Antpitta Seen at Abra Porcuya Stripe–headed Antpitta Heard high along road above El Molino Pale–billed Antpitta Seen at San Lorenzo (Florida Pomacochas) Rusty–tinged Antpitta Seen at Fundo Alto Nieva and heard at Owlet lodge Chestnut Antpitta Seen at Owlet lodge –like Antpitta Heard at Aconabikh Ochre–fronted Antpitta Seen at Fundo Alto Nieva Ash–colored Tapaculo Heard at Abra Porcuya Seen at San Lorenzo (Florida Pomacochas) Unicolored Tapaculo Heard at Sinsicap and seen along road above El Molino Seen at San Lorenzo (Florida Pomacochas) Rufous–vented Tapaculo Seen at Fundo Alto Nieva White–crowned Tapaculo Heard at Plataforma, Fundo Alto Nieva and Owlet lodge Ancash Tapaculo Seen high along road above El Molino Table 2: Records of gnateaters, antpittas and tapaculos.

The photographers were quite happy with their opportunities to take photographs of the target and more common species during our trip.

Northern Peru is without question a great place for bird watchers. Not only are the birds spectacular, the scenery is often breathtaking. Most accommodations were okay. Only in Plataforma was our accommodation rather basic. The food in the restaurants or cooked by our own cook was generally tasty and well prepared; nobody had serious stomach problems.

We compiled a checklist of possible species, which contained nearly 1100 species. We eventually recorded 598 species of bird during the main trip of which 59 were heard only. This is quite a high number but many of

them were common or widespread species that we made no real effort to see. During the extension, El Molino plus coast near Lima, 57 extra species (one heard only) were recorded. Mammals are apparently quite rare in this part of Peru: we only identified four species and saw another three mammals that we could relate to family level. The top ten species of bird of the main trip – voted by the five participants and our guide – were: 1. Pale–billed Antpitta 6. Painted 2. White–masked Antbird 7. Crested Owl 3. Long–whiskered Owlet 8. Cordillera Azul Antbird 4. Marvelous Spatuletail 9. White–winged Guan 5. Ochre–fronted Antpitta 10. Scarlet–banded Barbet

18 species were voted for by at least one of us, showing the range of highlights on the trip.

In summary, we can all look back on a very interesting and exciting trip, expertly and professionally guided by Miguel Lezama.

Day–by–day–account

2 October KLM flight KL 0743 Amsterdam – Lima (12 hours 30 minutes). To hotel San Augustin Exclusive (www.san–augustin–exclusive.besthotelslima.com) in Miraflores by taxi. Excellent hotel with wifi, good service, good food and spacey rooms, although the transfer from the airport through the Lima traffic was fairly long (one hour). Given that we left first thing the

following morning, a hotel closer to the airport might have been preferable. A travel day, no bird watching activities. Clear weather in Lima.

3 October From hotel (with Amazilia while our driver was trying to persuade the taxi to start) to airport (again one hour) to take Latam flight LA 2250 Lima – Tarapoto (1 hour). Met our guide Miguel Lezama ([email protected]) at Lima airport and our driver Juan and cook Hubert at Tarapoto airport. Drove to a parking area along the road to Tarapoto Tunnel (Dotted Tanager! and Rose–fronted Parakeet), where we had lunch and continued to Yurimaguas to find that our flight to San Lorenzo (Loreto) had been canceled and that there might be no flight the following day either, so returned (3 hours) to Tarapoto to stay overnight. Slept in the excellent hotel Rio Cumbaza (www.hotelcumbaza.com.pe) with wifi, good service, good food and spacey rooms. Highlights: Dotted Tanager, Rose–fronted Parakeet. Fine weather today.

4 October Drove from Tarapoto to Bellavista and on to KM 40 by minivan (90 minutes) and from KM 40 to Flor de Café / Plataforma by 4W drive over the worst – muddy and occasionally steep – road imaginable (14 km, 1.5 hours). Even the 4W drives became stuck in the deep, very wet and slippery mud at times. Birded along the muddy road (Olive–sided Flycatcher and White–eared ). Walked uphill beyond the village on the camino Principal to Bosque Comunario and found with some effort the recently described Cordillera Azul Antbird as well as Euler's Flycatcher, Yellow– throated Spadebill, Blue– browed Tanager and Bronze– green Euphonia with help of local guide Eugenio, the owner of 'hotel Capito', the rather basic place where we slept. No wifi, comfortable but simple rooms, communal cold shower and toilet, but with good service and atmospheric. Highlights: Cordillera Azul Antbird and Road from KM 40 to Plataforma Yellow–throated Spadebill. Occasional heavy showers.

5 October Had Yungas’ Woodcreeper (species nov.) and Foothill (recently split from Vermiculated) Screech–Owl near our ‘hotel’ first thing in the morning. Then walked the steep and incredibly muddy camino Capito uphill to the ridge above Plataforma, which produced great birding: Black–and–white –, Chestnut–tipped Toucanet, Scarlet–banded Barbet, Lined Antshrike (heard only), White–crowned Tapaculo (heard only), ‘Tschudi's’ (potential split from Ocellated) Woodcreeper, Black–billed Treehunter (heard only), , Green–backed Becard, Gray–tailed Piha, Scarlet–breasted and Scaled Fruiteaters and Blue–rumped Manakin. Walked the camino Cuarenticinco downhill through coffee plantations in the afternoon, which again produced a few excellent species: Chestnut– crowned Gnateater and Short–tailed Antthrush. Extremely good day with some very good species. Slept in 'hotel Capito' again. Had one heavy shower in the afternoon.

Plataforma

6 October From Flor de Café / Plataforma to KM 40 by 4 W drive, from KM 40 to Bellavista (Spotted seen in rice fields) and on to Aconabikh by minivan. After lunch checked hummingbird feeders (Koepcke's Hermit, Gould’s Jewelfront, Black–bellied Thorntail and Blue–fronted Lancebill), then walked trail (Black–faced Antbird, Musician , Short–billed

Honeycreeper, Carmiol's Tanager and Fulvous Shrike–Tanager) with local guide Uder. From Aconabikh to Yurimaguas by minivan. Slept in excellent hotel Rio Huallaga ([email protected]) in Yurimaguas with spacey room, good service and food but with only intermittent wifi. A dry day with high temperatures in the lowlands.

7 October Birded around hotel while waiting for breakfast, then flight Yurimaguas – San Lorenzo (32 minutes) with a Cessna six–seater. From airstrip to hotel by tuc tuc, then after lunch to Puente Machete by tuc tuc, walked criss– cross through jungle in search of army swarms from 13.00 to 17.00 and back to hotel by tuc tuc. Highlights were Black–necked Red–Cotinga and Velvet–fronted Grackle (seen by some of us). Rufous–tailed Flatbill, White–masked Antbird and White–cheeked Antbird were all heard. Slept in hotel Posada del Apu (https://datem–del– maranon.infoisinfo.com.pe/ficha/hotel_la_posada_del_apu/341161) with fairly good rooms, wifi, good food and moderate service. A very hot and dry day, less pleasant because of having to wait at the airport and seeing very few birds.

8 October Again with tuc tuc to the forest at Puente Machete, again criss–cross walks through the jungle in search of an swarm and again very few birds (flushed White–throated , good views of Peruvian Warbling– Antbird) in the morning and back to the same forest in the afternoon, this time assisted by local guide Eric. Found both White–masked Antbird and Lunulated Antbird deep in the forest, could even photograph White– masked. Heard Black–banded Crake. Eventually a super day as we found one of our main targets. Slept in Posada del Apu again. A dry day with a single shower in the afternoon.

9 October With tuc tuc to beginning of trail through open country to forest of Uruguai, walked a few hours in good forest. Saw Scarlet–crowned Barbet, Citron–bellied Attila and – in open area – Three–striped Flycatcher. Returned to hotel by tuc tuc, then continued by tuc tuc to airstrip and took a flight from San Lorenzo to Yurimaguas – after threatening to go by boat – and drove from Yurimaguas to Tarapoto by minivan. Slept in the excellent hotel Rio Cumbaza, same name as on 3 October but a different hotel. Had a dry and very hot day.

10 October Tarapoto – Moyobamba by minivan. Having checked the grounds of the lodge and the immediate surroundings, we walked trail from the Waqanki lodge along Quebrada Mishquiyacu uphill in the morning, which produced Sapphire–spangled Emerald (garden), Fiery–throated Fruiteater, Varzea Thrush (around lodge), (recently split from Striped

Manakin), Zimmer’s Antbird (recently split from Chestnut–tailed Antbird), Mishana Tyrannulet and White–bellied Pygmy–Tyrant. After a visit to the hummingbird feeders (Rufous–crested Coquette) we drove to Rioja marshes in the afternoon and found Pale–eyed Blackbird and Black–billed Seedeater. Heard Band–bellied Owl around the lodge in the evening but no response to the recording. Slept in Waqanki lodge (http://waqankilodge.pe) with okay rooms, wifi and moderate service. No air conditioning and food cooked by our own cook. Had heavy showers at midday and later in the afternoon. A very productive day.

Hike to the ridge above Waqanki lodge

11 October Walked uphill from Waqanki lodge to the ridge – a two–and–a–half–hour hike uphill on a steep trail – from 5.30 to 17.30 hours where we looked for Ash–breasted Antwren in vain. We did see: Lafresnaye's Piculet, Scaled Fruiteater, , Cinereous–breasted and Dark–breasted Spinetails and Golden–rumped Euphonia and heard Scaled Antpitta at close quarters. Slept in Waqanki lodge again. Had fine and dry weather the whole day.

12 October Drove from Waqanki lodge to Arena Blanca reserve, spent some time behind the screens and at the hummingbird feeders (Little and Cinereous

Tinamous, Orange–billed Sparrow and Many–spotted Hummingbird). Drove uphill from Arena Blanca to the village of Santa Rosa and continued to Fundo Alto Nieva. Checked the hummingbird feeders (Gray–chinned Hermit) and then walked the trails where with help of local guide Kenny we found Cinnamon–breasted Tody–Flycatcher, Ochre–fronted Antpitta (on a feeder), and Bar–winged Wood–Wren in the afternoon and Long–whiskered Owlet in the evening. Heard Rufous–banded Owl. Slept in Fundo Alto Nieva (www.perubirds.org/rutas_fundo_alto_nieva.shtml) with basic rooms, excellent service, no wifi and food cooked by our own cook. A very good day with perfect views of two top species: Ochre–fronted Antpitta and Long–whiskered Owlet. Had dry weather the whole day.

13 October Went to feeding sites of and Rusty–tinged Antpitta early in the morning, found Rufous–vented Tapaculo along the trail and birded along the road downhill from Fundo Alto Nieva, alternately walking and driving the rest of the morning. Enjoyed true Andean birding with some very good flocks, which produced Olive Flycatcher, Sulphur–bellied Tyrannulet, Vermilion Tanager, Rufous–crested Tanager, Rufous–rumped Antwren, Canada Warbler, Black–streaked and Geoffroy’s Wedgebill. More roadside birding, this time uphill, in the afternoon, which was rather tame, although Johnson’s Tody–Flycatcher and Slaty–backed Chat–Tyrant were good. Slept in Fundo Alto Nieva again. Had drizzle and rain in the morning but dry weather in the afternoon. A very good day!

14 October Drove in the dark to Owlet lodge, then checked the access road (Johnson's Tody–Flycatcher, Yellow–scarfed Tanager and Yellow–breasted Brushfinch), before visiting the Chestnut Antpitta feeder. Thereafter we walked the beautiful Tino trail below the lodge for most of the morning. Spent some time at the hummingbird feeders in front of the lodge at midday (Emerald–bellied Puffleg) and walked the equally beautiful Grallaria trail in the afternoon (rather tame). Found White–throated Screech–Owl in the evening after a lengthy battle with the recording (is the bird taped out?). Saw fewer species than expected at Owlet lodge. Stayed in the Owlet lodge (www.owletlodge.org) with excellent rooms, food and service, but without wifi. Had much rain during the day, but good weather between 14.00 and 16.00 hours and in the evening.

15 October Drove from Owlet lodge to San Lorenzo (Florida Pomacochas) and walked the steep but generally dry trail above the village to the bamboo where we eventually saw three Pale–billed Antpittas extremely well, as well as Rufous–capped Antshrike, Trilling and Blackish Tapaculos, Russet–mantled Softtail and Plain–tailed Wren. Drove to the Huembo feeders, where Marvelous Spatuletail was readily found and Tawny–rumped Tyrannulet

was seen briefly. Explored dry on our way to Jaen (Spot–throated Hummingbird). Slept in Hotel el Bosque (www.hotelelbosque.com– peru.info) in Jaen, which had a good atmosphere, excellent air– conditioned rooms, wifi and good services, but moderate food. Had good weather all day. A super day with quite a few highlights.

16 October Drove from Jaen to Bosque de Yanahuanca. Walked in the dry forest attacked by loads of mosquitos in the morning which produced: Marañon Thrush, Spot–throated Hummingbird, Pacific , Collared Antshrike (heard only), Marañon and Necklaced Spinetails, Tawny–crowned Pygmy– Tyrant, Sooty–crowned Flycatcher, Buff–bellied Tanager, Little Inca–Finch and Purple–throated Euphonia. Missed Marañon Crescentchest again. Drove to Abra Porcuya in the afternoon where we found: Chapman's Antshrike, Chestnut–crowned Antpitta, Ash–colored Tapaculo (heard only), Line–cheeked Spinetail, Fasciated and Superciliated , Plumbeous– backed Thrush, Three–banded Warbler, Black–cowled Saltator and White– winged and Bay–crowned Brushfinches. Slept in hotel Los Portales (https:pe.locale.online/hotel–y–restaurant–los–portales– 1448857849.html) in Olmos with moderate rooms and service, with intermittent wifi, but with excellent food in a busy restaurant (the Peru– USA football match was being screened live) and a huge and tasty cake on PL's birthday. Had beautiful weather all day. A very productive day with many lifers for the first–timers to northern Peru.

Lunch at Abra Porcuya

17 October Drove from Olmos to Quebrada Frejolillo. Made a long (5.5 hours) and productive walk in the canyon with again many lifers for the first–timers in northern Peru. Recorded were: Pale–browed Tinamou (admired at length), White–winged Guan, Gray–chinned Hermit, Tumbes Hummingbird, Ecuadorian Piculet, Scarlet–backed Woodpecker, Red–masked Parakeet, Collared Antshrike (now seen very well), , Pacific , Gray–and–white Tyrannulet, Gray–breasted Flycatcher (heard only), Tumbes Tyrant, Baird's Flycatcher, White–tailed , Black–capped Sparrow, White–headed Brushfinch and White–edged Oriole. Flying and are also worth mentioning. Drove uphill and found Rufous–necked and Henna–hooded Foliage–gleaners, as well as . Continued to Bosque de Pomac at dusk where Peruvian Screech–Owl turned out to be numerous to GTe's great joy. Slept in hotel Costa del Sol (www.costadelsolperu.com/chiclayo/en) in Chiclayo with excellent rooms, food, service and wifi. Had beautiful, dry weather all day. A very good day.

Sinsicap

18 October Drove from Chiclayo to Bosque de Pomac, walked trail there (Rufous Flycatcher and Cinereous Finch), drove to dunes at edge of forest (Tumbes and Coastal Miner) and continued to coastal lagoons at San José

and Santa Rosa de Lima (pallidus race of Tawny–throated Dotterel). Thereafter drove to sandy hill with bushes at Rafan (Peruvian Plantcutter) and on to Trujillo. Slept in the excellent hotel Costa del Sol (www.costadelsolperu.com/trujillo/en) in Trujillo. Had dry pleasant weather the whole day. A relatively calm day but with a large number of species including some rare and threatened ones.

19 October Drove from Trujillo to Sinsicap. Walked downhill with Rainbow Starfrontlet, Russet–bellied Spinetail, Piura Chat–Tyrant and Unicolored Tapaculo (heard only) as highlights. Drove to Trujillo airport where we said good– bye to Gerlinde and Graham and drove the long way to Huamachuco. Slept in the chilly hotel Santa Maria (www.hsm.pe or [email protected]) in Huamachuco without any atmosphere and zero service, but with good rooms and wifi. Beautiful, dry weather all day.

20 October Drove from Huamachuco to El Molino (2.5 hours) and birded the forested slopes above the village in the morning, which produced: Purple–backed Sunbeam, Plain–tailed Warbling–Finch, Blue–mantled Thornbill, Black Metaltail, Striated Earthcreeper, Unicolored Tapaculo (this time seen very well), Rufous–eared Brushfinch, Line–cheeked Spinetail and a fly–by White–cheeked Cotinga. Birded the higher treeless slopes on our way back to Huamachuco in the afternoon, where we found: , Ancash Tapaculo and Many–striped . Drove back to Huamachuco and stayed in hotel Santa Maria again. Had good weather in the morning but rain from 14.30 hours onwards. A very nice day, despite the many hours in the minivan.

Cerro de Campanu

21 October Drove from Huamachuco back to Trujillo checking some lakes en route (Crested ), walked at Cerro de Campanu, 30 minutes north of Trujillo where we found Canastero, Streaked tit–Tyrant and Tschudi’s as well as fresh prints of Puma. The expected Great Inca–Finch remained unseen. Said good–bye to our driver Juan and our cook Hubert. Flew from Trujillo to Lima at 19.00 hours (50 minutes) and slept in hotel San Augustin Exclusive again. Had rain in Huamachuco, but sunny weather after crossing the 4200 m high pass. Largely a traveling day.

22 October Left Lima very early in the morning to avoid traffic jams. Drove to Puerto Viejo (Surf Cinclodes, Gray and Many–colored Rush Tyrant) and checked the lagoon at Pantanos de Villa (Pied–billed ). Drove to La Punta de Callao (Elegant ) and the harbour of Callao (). Finally checked the lagoons at Playa Arenilla and Playa Ventanilla (Great and White–tufted ) and climbed the watchtower at Humedales de Ventanilla (Yellow–crowned Night–). Went to the airport and said good–bye to Miguel. Flew from Lima to Amsterdam with KLM–flight 0744 (12 hours and 5 minutes). Slept on the plane. A productive final day on the coast.

23 October Arrived at Schiphol airport, Amsterdam at 15.15 hours.

Dangers and annoyances

We felt safe everywhere we traveled. Pantanos de Villa is said to be unsafe and people have been robbed there. We stayed in our minivan to avoid problems. The many crosses along the road from Huamachuco to El Molino in the Andes reminds you of the possible consequences of hazardous driving in hairpin curves along steep abysses. The flights to and from San Lorenzo (Loreto) are a logistical nightmare. Our booked flight to San Lorenzo was canceled because of 'bad weather', which cost us many hours of driving to Yurimaguas and back to Tarapoto. When we eventually had a flight a few days later, we had to fly without luggage because the plane was too small for six people and even a small amount of luggage. The luggage came on a later flight but we could not obtain it because the office was locked. We had to spend the night without a few essential things and even had to buy rubber boots. Initially the flight back was insecure. The company blackmailed us and asked a ridiculously high price, so we decided to go by boat. Then the company changed its mind and offered to take us anyway (with our luggage coming separately, which entailed a lengthy wait at Yurimaguas before we could continue to Tarapoto). Truly annoying!

In San Lorenzo (Loreto) and in Bosque de Yanahuanca wearing long and loose clothes and using repellent are strongly recommended. Even when doing so be prepared for plenty of insect bites: your sweat will soon wash away your repellent.

Weather

West of the Marañon the weather was fine: dry and pleasant temperatures. East of the Marañon, in San Lorenzo (Loreto), Plataforma, Quebrada Mishquiyacu, San Lorenzo (Florida Pomacochas), Fundo Alto Nieva and around the Owlet lodge we had to use our umbrellas frequently but the rain never made bird watching impossible.
