  • Northwest Argentina (Custom Tour) 13 – 24 November, 2015 Tour Leader: Andrés Vásquez Co-Guided by Sam Woods
    Northwest Argentina (custom tour) 13 – 24 November, 2015 Tour leader: Andrés Vásquez Co-guided by Sam Woods Trip Report by Andrés Vásquez; most photos by Sam Woods, a few by Andrés V. Elegant Crested-Tinamou at Los Cardones NP near Cachi; photo by Sam Woods Introduction: Northwest Argentina is an incredible place and a wonderful birding destination. It is one of those locations you feel like you are crossing through Wonderland when you drive along some of the most beautiful landscapes in South America adorned by dramatic rock formations and deep-blue lakes. So you want to stop every few kilometers to take pictures and when you look at those shots in your camera you know it will never capture the incredible landscape and the breathtaking feeling that you had during that moment. Then you realize it will be impossible to explain to your relatives once at home how sensational the trip was, so you breathe deeply and just enjoy the moment without caring about any other thing in life. This trip combines a large amount of quite contrasting environments and ecosystems, from the lush humid Yungas cloud forest to dry high Altiplano and Puna, stopping at various lakes and wetlands on various altitudes and ending on the drier upper Chaco forest. Tropical Birding Tours Northwest Argentina, Nov.2015 p.1 Sam recording memories near Tres Cruces, Jujuy; photo by Andrés V. All this is combined with some very special birds, several endemic to Argentina and many restricted to the high Andes of central South America. Highlights for this trip included Red-throated

  • Do the Winter Diets of Sympatric Burrowing Owl and Short-Eared Owl Overlap in West-Central Mexico?
    Proceedings of the Fourth International Partners in Flight Conference: Tundra to Tropics 96–101 DO THE WINTER DIETS OF SYMPATRIC BURROWING OWL AND SHORT-EARED OWL OVERLAP IN WEST-CENTRAL MEXICO? HÉCTOR E. VALDEZ-GÓMEZ,1,3 GEOFFREY L. HOLROYD,2 HELEN E. TREFRY,2 AND ARMANDO J. CONTRERAS-BALDERAS1 1Laboratorio de Ornitología, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Ciudad Universitaria CP 66451, A.P. 425 San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, México; and 2Environment Canada, Room 200, 4999-98 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6B 2X3, Canada Abstract. Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) and Short-eared Owl (Asio fl ammeus) are widely dis- tributed but uncommon species during winter in Mexico. Information about their winter ecology is limited, particularly in areas where both species are present. Knowledge of their diet is an important component to understand the nocturnal raptors’ habitat requirements. We analyzed 179 pellets of Burrowing Owl and 354 pellets of Short-eared Owl collected in 2002-2003, at the Military Airbase of Zapopan, Jalisco. The owls shared three main prey categories: invertebrates, small mammals, and birds. Small mammals provided the highest proportion of biomass in the Short-eared Owl diet and invertebrates in the Burrowing Owl diet. Food-niche breadth was lower in Short-eared than in Burrowing Owl refl ecting the diversity of invertebrates in the Burrowing Owl’s diet. The dietary overlap included items of relative low mass such as Northern Pigmy Mouse (Baiomys taylori) and the Gray Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca nitiens). Zapopan Airbase is important for these two species and others adjacent to a large metropolitan city and should be managed as wildlife habitat that is compat- ible with its function for military training.

  • Trade in Andean Condor Vulture Gryphus Feathers and Body Parts in the City of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Cusco Region, Peru Robert S
    Vulture News 61 September 2011 Trade in Andean Condor Vulture gryphus feathers and body parts in the city of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Cusco region, Peru Robert S. R. Williams1*, Jose Luis Jara1, Daphne Matsufuiji2 and Anahi Plenge2 1Frankfurt Zoological Society and the Andean Condor Working Group – Peru 2Clorinda Matto de Turner 305, Urb. Magisterio, Cusco, Peru *Corresponding author: [email protected] Summary The sale of Andean Condor feathers and body parts is undertaken openly in the tourist markets of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. This trade is illegal but there is no enforcement of existing legislation. We visited the main tourist markets of the region to ascertain the extent of the trade, reasons motivating it and value. We found condor feathers for sale in 26 establishments. Feathers were sold singly, decorated and incorporated in handicrafts. Prices ranged from 5 soles for a small body feather to 160 soles for a main primary and we found handicrafts for sale at prices of up to 650 soles (featuring 6 feathers). We were offered a whole condor for sale at a market in Cusco for 2,500 soles. Investigations revealed that there are condor hunters working to supply this trade in both the Cordillera Vilcabamba and Cordillera Vilcanota and that the town of Calca is the base of much of the handicraft production. The trade is mainly based on three uses: alternative healing, shamanic ceremonies and souvenirs. It is crucial that the Peruvian authorities honour their commitments under international conventions and act immediately to stop this illegal trade, which is further threatening a species that is already in a precarious situation.

When in its breeding plumage, the edges of its head and the underside of its neck and belly are orangish. The bird’s upper body is streaked a dark brown. It has a brownish gray tail and yellow green legs and feet. In the winter, the Red Knot carries a plain, grayish plumage that has very few distinctive features. Call Its call is a low, two-note whistle that sometimes includes a churring “knot” sound that is what inspired its name.
