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. -

The nest was in upland forest about 25 m from an extensive area of 10-15- month-old second-growth, which had resulted from the clearing of the forest for cattle ranching. After the trees were cut, however, the area was abandoned. After the cutting, human activity had dropped to a minimum, except for an infrequently used trail that passed within 1 m of the nest. The nest was discovered 19 June 1984 by my field assistant, Jairo Miranda Lopes, on an upright <2-m rotting stump 40-50 cm in diameter. The nest, which was about 1.5 m above the ground, was a shallow cup 20 cm in diameter, lined with a thick mat of very small brown twigs and rootlets, and well concealed by a palm frond. The nest contained two young (eyes open, covered in black down, and spotted with brown juvenal feathers). -

Description of the Nest, Egg and Nestling of Watkins's Antpitta
Cotinga 21 Description of the nest, egg and nestling of Watkins’s Antpitta Grallaria watkinsi Paul R. Martin and Robert C. Dobbs Cotinga 21 (2004): 35–37 Describimos el nido, huevos y pichón de la Gralaria de Watkins Grallaria watkinsi en base a observaciones hechas cerca de Celica, Loja, Ecuador, a principios de marzo de 2000. El nido, único entre los previamente descriptos para gralarias, estaba localizado relativamente alto en un árbol, apoyado en ramas pequeñas, y estaba compuesto principalmente de palitos. El huevo era azul verdoso pálido y sin marcas, similar a los huevos conocidos de otras especies de Grallaria. Como ya fuera mencionado para otros pichones del género, la G. watkinsi de 1–2 días de edad tenía el pico, comisura e interior de la boca anaranjado brillantes, pero resultó única en tener también la cloaca de ese color.

Ses populations ont été réduites principalement en raison de la chasse et de la destruction des habitats. La caractérisation de l’habitat utilisé par ces oiseaux indigènes peut optimiser les programmes futurs de réintroduction. La méthode de détection auditive a été utilisée sur des transects pour localiser les mâles chanteurs. Nous avons analysé les facteurs qui déterminent la présence du Francolin à double éperon dans le Nord-Ouest du Maroc en considérant 13 variables explicatives. -
Field Notes on the Giant Antpitta Grallaria Gigantea
COTINGA 7 Field notes on the G iant A ntpitta G rallaria gigantea Y. de Soye, K.-L. Schuchmann and J. C. Matheus Se presentan nuevas observaciones de Grallaria gigantea del sudoeste Colombiano y noroeste de Ecuador. Dos registros visuales, de subespecie desconocida, fueron efectuados en la Reserva La Planada, Depto. Nariño, Colombia en 1988 y 1989, y uno, de la subespecie hylodroma, fue atrapado en Mindo, provincia de Pichincha, Ecuador en 1994. Se presenta la biometría de este individuo y se describe el comportamiento alimentar de otros observados en el campo, en Mindo. Aparentemente se alimentaban de lombrices Rhynodrylus y otros invertebrados. Hasta 3–4 G. gigantea fueron escuchados en el área de Mindo en noviembre–diciembre 1994.

On the Origin and Evolution of Nest Building by Passerine Birds’

COLLIAS Departmentof Biology, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90024-1606 Abstract. The object of this review is to relate nest-buildingbehavior to the origin and early evolution of passerinebirds (Order Passeriformes).I present evidence for the hypoth- esis that the combinationof small body size and the ability to place a constructednest where the bird chooses,helped make possiblea vast amountof adaptiveradiation. A great diversity of potential habitats especially accessibleto small birds was created in the late Tertiary by global climatic changes and by the continuing great evolutionary expansion of flowering plants and insects.Cavity or hole nests(in ground or tree), open-cupnests (outside of holes), and domed nests (with a constructedroof) were all present very early in evolution of the Passeriformes,as indicated by the presenceof all three of these basic nest types among the most primitive families of living passerinebirds. Secondary specializationsof these basic nest types are illustratedin the largest and most successfulfamilies of suboscinebirds. Nest site and nest form and structureoften help characterizethe genus, as is exemplified in the suboscinesby the ovenbirds(Furnariidae), a large family that builds among the most diverse nests of any family of birds. The domed nest is much more common among passerinesthan in non-passerines,and it is especially frequent among the very smallestpasserine birds the world over. -
A Cryptic New Species of Antpitta (Formicariidae: Grallaria) from the Peruvian Andes
THE WILSON BULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 99, No. 3 SEPTEMBER1987 PAGES 3 13-520 Wilson Bull., 99(3), 1987, pp. 313-321 A CRYPTIC NEW SPECIES OF ANTPITTA (FORMICARIIDAE: GRALLARIA) FROM THE PERUVIAN ANDES GARY R. GRAVES ’ ABSTRACT.-TWO morphologically similar antpittas, Grallaria rufila and G. blakei, sp. nav., are sympatric on Cordillera Colan and Cordillera Carpish in the Peruvian Andes. These taxa appear to replace one another elevationally: G. r&a-2590 to 3450 m; G. blakei- 35 to 2470 m. G. blakei differs from Peruvian populations of G. rujiila in having barring on the lower belly and much darker reddish-brown plumage. A unique specimen from the geographically isolated Cordillera Yanachaga may represent an undescribed sub- species of G. rufila or G. blakei, or an undescribed third species. Received 30 June 1986, accepted 7 Nov. 1986. Four or more antpitta species of the genus Grallaria occur along an elevational gradient at nearly every humid forest locality in the main chain of the Andes from Venezuela and Colombia south to northern Bolivia. Up to eight species have been collected along an elevational gradient in the Central Cordillera of the Colombian Andes. In this region and others, the morphological distinction between sympatric species has been clear-cut. The only taxonomic difficulty regularly encountered has been deciding the status of allopatric taxa (e.g., Schulenberg and Williams 1982). Here I report an exception to previously known patterns in the genus. Two morphologically similar antpittas occur sympatrically in at least two localities along the forested Amazonian slope of the Eastern Andes in Peru. -
Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco)
Visiting a lek of the stunning Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock is definitely a must for any birder. And there´s no better place to do it than Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco) SURINAME 23 FEBRUARY – 9/14 MARCH 2015 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ VELASCO and SEAN DILROSUN On our third tour to Suriname we amassed a great list of Guianan specialities, next to a splendid selection of more widespread, but rarely seen species. Our intrepid group recorded 404 species of birds, 16 mammals and some lovely ‘herps’ in this little country with its surface of about eight times Wales and its population of just over half a million people. We visited five different areas comprising three distinct ecosystems. It started with a short visit to the white sand grasslands and scrub of central Suriname where Black-faced Hawk, Bronzy Jacamar, Point-tailed Palmcreeper, Saffron-crested Tyrant–Manakin, Black Manakin and Glossy- backed Becard grabbed our attention. It continued with the famous Raleigh Falls and the Voltzberg, where many Guianan Cocks-of-the-Rock put on an unforgettable show on their lek, while other major avian highlights included brilliant Pompadour Cotingas, massive Black-throated and the very localized Band-tailed 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Suriname www.birdquest-tours.com Antshrikes and delightful Red-billed Pied Tanagers. The misty forests of the Brownsberg were lighted up by incredibly tame Grey-winged Trumpeters and Black Curassows, rare Racket-tailed and stunning Tufted Coquettes, gaudy Blue-backed Tanagers and delicate White-fronted Manakins, colorful Rose-breasted Chats and much wanted Red-and black Grosbeaks. The coastal area held goodies like Scarlet Ibis, Rufous Crab Hawk, localized Arrowhead Piculets and Blood-coloured Woodpeckers and striking Crimson-hooded Manakins.
