PRE-TOUR EXTENSION TO TRINIDAD DAY 1 – 21st JANUARY 2015 – TRINIDAD Our first day was spent travelling, London Gatwick, to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. It was getting dark as we arrived but as we emerged from the airport we managed to log Carib Grackle and Tropical Kingbird our very first sightings of the trip. We took a taxi to the ASA Wright Centre arriving just in time for dinner. We sat on the famous veranda sipping cool beers after dinner, anticipating our full day in the reserve tomorrow. DAY 2 – 22ND JANUARY 2015 - TRINIDAD ASA WRIGHT CENTRE ALL DAY Our first full day on tour, wow, it was marvellous. A Ferruginous Pygmy Owl woke me up at 4:30am it was right outside my window and I still couldn’t find it! At 6:15 there was enough light to bird from the ASA Wright veranda, we met there and chaos ensued as so many new species appeared at once . Within minutes the feeders were in full attendance, birds were everywhere¸ in the trees, on the ground, at the feeders and in every bush. A number of Tanagers were ever present: White-lined, Palm, Bay-headed, Blue and Gray and the beautiful Turquoise Tanager. These were out shone by the Green and the Purple Honeycreepers, Violaceous Euphonia, Bananaquit and of course the hummers. Tufted Coquette topped the list of hummer beauties, what a stunner.

  • FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena
    Field Guides Tour Report Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena Valley, and Santa Marta 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 27, 2014 Jesse Fagan & Trevor Ellery For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. A fun group and the most productive tour we have had to date! We observed 582 bird taxa in 17 days of birding, which beat our record last year of 555 by a bunch. As we fine-tune our birding route and learn more about Colombian birds things just seem to get better and better. This year we saw 33 endemics and loads of interesting subspecies and near-endemics. Highlights included a female Blue- billed Curassow, Kelp Gull(s) at Los Camerones (only the second time it has been recorded in Colombia), Dwarf and Pavonine cuckoos (the latter a lifer for Trevor!), a splendid Crested Owl, Sapphire- bellied Hummingbird (nice comparisons with Sapphire-throated), Double-banded Graytail in the coffee finca below Reinita Cielo Azul lodge, the always elusive Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant and antpitta, Turquoise Dacnis, and singing Yellow-bellied Siskin. It is really hard to pick just one from so many! I want to thank all of you again for a really enjoyable trip. Thanks also to Trevor Ellery, our local guide, and Giovanni, our driver, for their hard work. I look forward to seeing you again in the field. Bird On. --Jesse a.k.a. Motmot (from Lima, Peru) KEYS FOR THIS LIST One of the following keys may be shown in brackets for individual species as appropriate: * = heard only, I = introduced, E = endemic, N = nesting, a = austral migrant, b = boreal migrant This dazzling Black-cheeked Mountain-Tanager is a Santa Marta endemic; it was one of 33 endemics we tallied on this species-rich tour.
