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. -
Andean Flora of Ecuador
Andean Flora of Ecuador Naturetrek Tour Report 21 September - 6 October 2017 Report compiled by Gustavo Cañas-Valle Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Andean Flora of Ecuador Tour participants: Gustavo Cañas-Valle (leader) with two Naturetrek clients Day 1 Thursday 21st September The clients were in flight from London to Quito and transferred to the Puembo Birding Garden hotel. Day 2 Friday 22nd September From Puembo to Patate On the easternmost section of a mountain plateau within the Ecuadorian Andean mountains, Puembo Birding Garden and the nearby Quito Airport are located. This plateau is formed by three valleys: Quito, Los Chillos and Tumbaco. The last two drain dry warm air and warm water from cooler superficial streams which start further south on the mountains of the Cotopaxi, Sincholagua and Pasochoa volcanoes. As they flow north, those streams carve deep gorges in a mix of lahar (mudflow and debris) remnants from the Cotopaxi successive volcanic eruptions and volcanic ashes from other nearby active volcanoes. The Machangara River, the natural drainage of the southern section of the Quito Valley, joins San Pedro and Chiche Rivers to form the Guayllabamba, the major river which gives the name to the watershed that we explored today. Before taking off, at Puembo Birding Garden, we described some of the frequent plants of the area including Tillandsia recurvata, and Tillandsia secunda (Bromeliaceae) as epiphytes on Inga insignis (Leguminosae, formerly Mimosaceae) on the citrus trees of one of the orchards on the property and also rooting on the power lines of the neighborhood. -
21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic
version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection. -
Jewels of Ecuador: Hummers, Tanagers & Antpittas I 2013
Field Guides Tour Report JEWELS OF ECUADOR: HUMMERS, TANAGERS & ANTPITTAS I 2013 Jan 19, 2013 to Feb 5, 2013 Rose Ann Rowlett & Willy Perez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Willy and I will always remember this tour as the first Banded Ground-Cuckoo tour. Getting our whole group to see such a dynamic and alluring rarity well was a real highlight for us, not to mention watching this mythic bird ourselves! The sound of that bill-clapping and the vision of that pulsating crest are etched in my memory. Classified as Endangered by BirdLife International, this army ant follower of the humid Choco forests occurs at very low population densities in an increasingly fragmented range, with an estimated population (based on total potential habitat left) of 600-1700 mature individuals remaining. We owe a debt of gratitude to Nicole and Wilo for making our seeing it possible--and we wish them success in increasing the size of their precious reserve. But there were countless additional highlights, some of which may loom equally large to most of you, for whom the riches of Andean Ecuador were all new. Looking through the long list of goodies, it's hard to pick a reasonable number of favorites; but here's a try (in more or less phylogenetic order), aided by your comments at our farewell dinner: Banded Ground-Cuckoo, with antswarm at Un Poco del Choco (by Rose Ann Rowlett) --watching that pair of Torrent Ducks along the rushing Sabanilla River while our first White-capped Dipper foraged
