  • Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
    The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya.

Our hike to the ridge above Abra Malaga couldn't have been more magical. Cerro Veronica in the background and feeding alpaca in the foreground, that is the Andes in Peru. Video grab by guide Jesse Fagan. I hope that you found Peru to be overwhelmingly beautiful. The food, the people, the Andes, the humid forest, Machu Picchu, and, of course, the birds. Indeed, this is my second home, and so I hope you felt welcomed here and decide to return soon. Peru is big (really big!) and there is much, much more to see. The birding was very good and a few highlights stood out for everyone. These included Andean Motmot, Pearled Treerunner, Plumbeous Rail, Versicolored Barbet, and Spectacled Redstart. However, a majority of the group thought seeing Andean Condors, well, in the Andes (!) was pretty darn cool. Black-faced Ibis feeding in plowed fields against Huaypo lake was a memory for a few others. I was glad to see one of my favorite birds stood out, the shocking Bearded Mountaineer (plus, maybe I am just partial to the "bearded" part). But you couldn't beat Andean Cock-of-the-Rock for shock value and the female on a nest was something you don't see everyday. Thanks to our team of drivers, and Lucrecia, our informative and always pleasant local guide. I hope to see you again soon.

Photo S. Hilty With all the traffic in Bogotá, a bustling city of more than eight million people, it may have seemed initially that birding in Colombia was as much about how to get in and out of the city as birding, but our days afield soon dispelled that notion. Despite the traffic and immense number of trucks and buses, Leonardo, our driver, was one of the best and most efficient I’ve ever had in negotiating Colombian roads and traffic. We began birding at Laguna Tabacal, a quiet (during weekdays) rural lake and wooded area about an hour and a half west of Bogotá and at considerably lower elevation. This is an excellent place for an introduction to commoner Colombia birds of lower montane elevations. Among these were flycatchers, wrens, and several kinds of tanagers, as well as such specialties as Moustached Puffbird and Speckle-breasted Wren, and later a blizzard of hummingbirds at the Jardín Encantado, before returning to Bogotá. We followed this opening day with visits to two high elevation sites, first Chingaza National Park and then to Sumapaz National Park. Both sites are floristically unique, landscapes all or mostly above treeline, and in many ways so otherwordly as to be beyond description.

    Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour PERU: MANU and MACHU PICCHU th th 29 August – 16 September 2015 Tour Leader: Jose Illanes Andean Cock-of-the-rock near Cock-of-the-rock Lodge! Species highlighted in RED are the ones illustrated with photos in this report. INTRODUCTION Not everyone is fortunate enough to visit Peru; a marvelous country that boasts a huge country bird list, which is second only to Colombia. Unlike our usual set departure, we started out with a daylong extension to Lomas de Lachay first, before starting out on the usual itinerary for the main tour. On this extra day we managed to 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 find many extra birds like Peruvian Thick-knee, Least Seedsnipe, Peruvian Sheartail, Raimondi’s Yellow- Finch and the localized Cactus Canastero. The first site of the main tour was Huacarpay Lake, near the beautiful Andean city of Cusco (accessed after a short flight from Lima). This gave us a few endemic species like Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero; along with other less local species like Many-colored Rush-tyrant, Plumbeous Rail, Puna Teal, Andean Negrito and Puna Ibis. The following day we birded along the road towards Manu where we picked up birds like Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Spot-winged Pigeon, and a beautiful Peruvian endemic in the form of Creamy-crested Spinetail. We also saw Yungas Pygmy-Owl, Black-faced Ibis, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain- Tanagers, Red-crested Cotinga and the gorgeous Grass-green Tanager.

    THE WILSON BULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 92, No. 1 MARCH 1980 PAGES 1-148 Wilson.Bull., 92(l), 1980, pp. l-7 A NEW SPECIES OF METALTAIL HUMMINGBIRD FROM NORTHERN PERU . GARY R. GRAVES Recent fieldwork in the isolated cordilleras of Peru by personnel of the Louisiana State University Museum of Zoology and other institutions has resulted in the discovery of several new high Andean birds (Blake and Hocking 1974, Weske and Terborgh 1974, Lowery and Tallman 1976, ONeill’ and Parker 1976). In October 1977 during a preliminary LSUMZ expedition to the Divisoria de Huancabamba, Department of Piura, Peru, I collected 2 specimens of a previously undescribed metaltail humming- bird. The specimens were stolen in Peru before they could be critically compared with museum material but field sketches of the birds showed sufficient differences from other species of Metallura to suggest they rep- resented an undescribed form. A LSUMZ field party returned to the region in 1978 and fortunately obtained 5 skins and 1 complete skeleton of this new form. In the genus Metallura, the related forms recisa, williami, primolinus, atrigularis, baroni, theresiae, eupogon, aeneocauda and malagae form a superspecies group (Fig. 1) of uncertain relationships (M. tyrianthina and M. phoebe (Black Metaltail) are locally sympatric with members of this group). Peters (1945) merged primolinus and atrigularis into M. williami and reduced baroni to an isolated subspecies of eupogon. Consequently Zimmer (1952) combined malugue and aeneocauda, but considered baroni to be specifically distinct and states (Zimmer 1952:lO): “The remaining three forms (baroni, theresiae, eupogon) are more divergent from the gen- eral pattern of the series, and it is probably best to give each of them individual specific status until specific relationships can be more positively demonstrated.” Wetmore (1970) considered the newly described recisa as a subspecies of primolinus, which he raised to specific level on the basis 1 THE WILSON BULLETIN - Vol.

  • Biogeographic and Taxonomic Revision of the Trainbearers Lesbia
    Weller, A.-A. & K.-L. Schuchmann:© Ornithologische Revision GesellschaftofLesbia hummingbirds Bayern, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 115 Ornithol. Anz. 43: 115-136 Biogeographic and taxonomic revision of the trainbearersLesbia (Trochilidae), with the description of two new subspecies Andre-A. Weller and Karl-L. Schuchmann Biogeografische und taxonomische Revision der KolibrigattungLesbia (Trochil­ idae), mit Beschreibung von zwei neuen Subspezies. Basierend auf Verbreitung und Gefiedermorphologie werden die Biogeografie und Taxonomie der weitverbreiteten andinen KolibrigattungLesbia LESSON, 1833 untersucht. Gegenwärtig werden zwei Arten anerkannt, die Schwarz- schwanz-Lesbia(L. victoriae) und die Grünschwanz-Lesbia(L. nuna). Aufgrund geografischer Variation in der Schwanzfärbung und den biometrischen Merkma­ len bei L. nuna erscheint aber die taxonomische Trennung von Goulds Lesbia (L. gouldii) gerechtfertigt. Die Typusexemplare vonLesbia » eucharis«, die bisher als Unterart vonL. nuna mit Verbreitungsgebiet in Huänuco, Zentralperu, angesehen wurden, stammen aus den Nordanden und repräsentieren wahrscheinlich Hyb­ riden von L. goiddii x L. victoriae. Die zentralperuanische Population von Goulds Lesbia sollte daher als neue Unterart,L. gouldii huallagae subsp. nov., geführt werden. Sie ist durch eine stark bronzegrüne Färbung und die weißlichen Fran­ sen im Bauchgefieder der Männchen gekennzeichnet. Als weiteres neues Taxon wird L. gouldii aureliae subsp. nov. von Südecuador beschrieben, charakterisiert durch eine goldbronzene Färbung des Grundgefieders. Die vorliegende Studie bestätigt zudem die taxonomische Eigenständigkeit L.von nuna boliviana und L. gouldii (früher nuna) gracilis, während die Validität vonL. victoriae aequatorialis nicht durch morphometrische Merkmale gestützt wird. Morphologische Ähn­ lichkeiten (Weibchengefieder, Schwanzmuster, Körpermaße) deuten eine enge Verwandtschaft vonLesbia mit den Kleinschnabelkolibris(Ramphomicron) und dem Sapphokolibri(Sappho sparganura) an.
