ECUADOR AND THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

3 – 31 MARCH 2003

TOUR REPORT

LEADER: CHRIS DOUGHTY

Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands proved to be every bit as exciting as we all thought it would be. With a staggering 52 species of hummingbirds, 7 species of puffbirds, 13 species of toucans, 29 species of antbirds, no less than 4 species of tapaculos, 10 species of cotingas and 89 species of dazzling tanagers; a grand total of 628 species of birds, this was a truly memorable tour and a good time was had by all.

The tour commenced with two day-trips from Quito. The first, was to a 120,000 ha private reserve which encompasses Antisana Volcano. High on the slopes of the volcano we visited Lake Micacocha where we found our only Silvery Grebes, Speckled Teals, Yellow-billed Pintails and Slate-colored Coots of the tour. This is the only place in Ecuador where the threatened Black-faced Ibis occurs and we were rewarded with good close looks at a small flock. In this area the endangered Carunculated Caracara was found in good numbers. Lower down the volcano’s slopes we saw both males and females of the beautiful and endemic Ecuadorian Hillstar, feeding in bright orange Chuquiragua flowers. This delightful hummingbird has the ability to drop its body temperature and at night it goes into torpor, to conserve energy. We also enjoyed watching a magnificent soaring pair of Andean Condors, sadly their population in Ecuador continues to decline.

Our second day-trip was to Yanacocha, which is always a great place to have a morning of superb high Andean birding, and this wonderful spot on the northwestern lopes of Pichincha Volcano certainly lived up to our expectations. Here hummingbirds are an important part of the avian spectrum, and we obtained great views of such stunners as Shining Sunbeam, Mountain Velvetbreast, Great Sapphirewing, Collared Inca, Buff-winged Starfrontlet, the magnificent Sword-billed Hummingbird, Sapphire-vented and Golden-breasted Pufflegs, Tyrian Metaltail and the very uncommon Rainbow-bearded Thornbill. Colourful tanagers were represented by Cinerous and Blue-backed Conebills, Masked and Glossy Flowerpiercers, Golden-rumped Euphonia, Scarlet-bellied, Hooded and Black-chested Mountain-Tanagers, Blue-and-black Tanager and Superciliaried Hemispingus, while other memorable birds included Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, American Kestrel, Band-winged Nightjar, White-browed Spinetail, Rufous Antpitta, Ashcolored and Unicolored Tapaculos, Barred Fruiteater and Rufous Wren. In the late afternoon we visited an arid valley in the high Andes, not far from the town of Calacali. Highlights here included Aplomado Falcon, Common Ground-Dove, Sparkling Violetear, Purple-collared Woodstar, Tufted Tit-Tyrant, White-tailed Shrike-Tyrant, a rare and highly localized Andean flycatcher, Spot-billed Ground-Tyrant, Blue-and-yellow Tanager, Ash-breasted Sierra-Finch and Grassland Yellow-Finch.

We then flew to the Galapagos Islands, made famous by the visit of the young Charles Darwin, who described the islands as a “living laboratory of evolution”. Here we cruised from island to island before dropping anchor in isolated coves, where we explored the many fascinating wildlife colonies. Giant Land Tortoises, Marine and Land Iguanas watched us unconcerned, Galapagos Penguins swam by the boat, we wandered through nesting colonies of Magnificent and Great Frigatebirds, Blue-footed, Nazca and Red-footed Boobies. We watched the endemic Swallow-tailed and Lava Gulls, a small flock of migrant Red-necked Phalaropes, enjoyed close encounters with Galapagos Fur Seals and Californian Sea Lions and a host of Darwin’s Finches. However, the highlights of our time spent in the Galapagos Islands where of two separate pods of whales, we observed one pod at the start of our cruise and one at the end. The first, was of a large pod of over 100 Melon-headed Whales, which loafed around on the surface, close to our boat for more than an hour. As the water bubbled and frothed with the throng of whales large numbers of Wedge-rumped Storm-Petrels came to feed on the plankton which rose to the surface when disturbed by the whales. Our second sighting was of a large school of dolphins; in excess of 100 Bottlenose Dolphins swam around the ship and rode the bow-wave, mixed in amongst them where a few very uncommon Bryde’s Whales, one of the world’s largest species of whales.

On returning to Quito, we began our decent of the east slope of the Andes, where a whole new assortment of birds was waiting for us. Much of the morning was taken up as we birded Papallacta Pass at 4300 metres, it was cold and misty and as if by magic, a few Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe suddenly materialised as the mist rose for a couple of minutes, before closing over again. We were very fortunate to find a large flock of birds in an extensive stand of Polylepis woodland, some of the more notable birds where Viridian Metaltail, White-chinned Thistletail, Many-striped Canastero, Pearled Treerunner, Paramo Tapaculo, Crowned Chat-Tyrant, Grass Wren, Giant Conebill, Buff-breasted Mountain-Tanager, Black-backed Bush-Tanager, Paramo Seedeater and Pale-naped Brush-Finch.

We enjoyed our lunch in the gardens of Guango Lodge and in particular, we enjoyed watching at close quarters the many species of hummingbirds coming into the feeders; they included Speckled Hummingbird, Buff-tailed Coronet, Tourmaline Sunangel and Long-tailed Sylph. Following lunch we managed to locate another feeding party which included Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan, Montane Woodcreeper, Cinnamon Flycatcher, Blackburnian Warbler, Gray-hooded Bush-Tanager, Black-capped and Black-eared Hemispingus, Slaty Brush-Finch and a superb pair of White-capped Dippers, foraging around on slippery boulders in a fast flowing mountain stream. We then drove to San Isidro Lodge for a three nights stay.

While at San Isidro we spent a whole day birding the superb Loreto Road, which provides access to rare pre-montane forest in the eastern foothills of the Andes. Highlights here included the rare Orange-breasted Falcon, a resplendent and near-endemic Coppery-chested Jacamar, great views of both Green and Gray-chinned Hermits, a stunning Black-eared Fairy and a very attractive Yellow-vented Woodpecker. We also

observed the recently described Foothill Elaenia and a colourful palette of tanagers including Orange-eared, Golden, Paradise, Golden-eared, Blue-necked and many others, all rivaling each other in their splendid brightly coloured plumages. Other highlights included Plain Antvireo, Golden-winged Tody-Flycatcher, Ecuadorian Tyrannulet, Black-billed Thrush, a couple of wintering Cerulean Warblers and the shy and unobtrusive Olivaceous Greenlet.

We spent another full day birding the Cordillera de Huacamayos, a heavily forested ridge that extends from the high Andes down into the Amazonian lowlands. This area produced a treasure chest of avian jewels. The uncommon Broad-winged Hawk, a migrant from north America was observed perched in a tree, the splendid Highland Motmot made a brief appearance, and a great mixed flock along the road comprised Blackish Antbird and the restricted range Golden-faced Tyrannulet, Barred Becard, Golden-eyed Flowerpiercer and the very uncommon Bronze-green Euphonia. On the way back to San Isidro, we encountered an electrifying family group of very special Torrent Ducks; we very much enjoyed watching them as they swam with great skill through the torrents of water rushing down the river.

In Quito we boarded a small aircraft that took us across an endless sea of Amazonian rainforests into a remote corner of the country, not far from the Peruvian frontier. This was followed by a long bus ride, a fast boat ride along the Napo River, a major tributary of the mighty Amazon; a walk along a boardwalk and a canoe trip across a large oxbow lake. As we neared the lodge in our canoes, we enjoyed great looks at a family party of bizarre and rather awkward Hoatzins, I could hardly have imagined a more splendid bird to start an exciting few days at what must surely be one of the planet’s finest birding lodges. Upon our arrival at Sacha Lodge we were greeted by the friendly staff, who welcomed us with open arms and a very welcome cold drink.

The birding extravaganza over the following few days, together with the comforts and excellent food in this pleasant lodge, combined with the great skill and incredible patience of our four fantastic native guides, made for an unforgettable experience. Our days along he extensive trail network and along the meandering rivers and streams were so packed with birds that even far more detailed day-to-day accounts would not do any justice. So being faced with the hard task of singling out some of the tour highlights, Ishall begin with the large number of antbirds we saw during the course of our stay. Some of the best ones were a splendid Black-spotted Bare-eye, a very responsive Cinereous Antshrike that couldn’t have given us a better view and the hard-to-see Dugand’s Antwren high in the canopy in rolling terra firme forest. Black-faced, Scale-backed and White-shouldered Antbirds were also among our favourites. A Scale-breasted Woodpecker climbing up a tree trunk was also memorable but it was a superb Chestnut-belted Gnateater hopping around a large fallen tree that really stole the show!Of course there were many exciting birds in other families as well. A secretive Gray-breasted Crake lured out of tall grass on one of the river islands, parrots were also well represented, large Blue-and-yellow and Red-bellied Macaws were particularly impressive, a colourful Green-and-rufous Kingfisher in a lakeside vine tangle, a superb Crested Owl in the spotlight, magnificent jacamars and a very good cross-section of

furnariids including such specialities as Orannge-fronted Plushcrown and Black-tailed Leaftosser. The list of flycatchers made up a couple of pages of the tour report, featuring such goodies as Yellow-crowned Tyrannulet, Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher and the rarely encountered Gray-crowned Flatbill. Contingas included such spectaculars as White-browed Purpletuft, Plum-throated and Spangled Cotingas, Bare-necked Fruitcrow and the spectacular Amazonian Umbrellabird. Highlights in other families included the unbelievable vocal mimicry of the Lawrence’s Thrush, a stunning Rufous-capped Antthrush walking along the forest floor, a diminutive Dwarf Tyrant-Manakin unobtrusively perched on a vine, a pair of the uncommon Casqued Oropendolas and last but not least, a Black-faced Dacnis seen from the canopy tower.

Of course no trip to the Amazon is complete without its guild of tanagers, and among this multi-hued family we saw such attractive species as Purple Honeycreeper, Rufous-bellied and White-lored Euphonias and Turquoise, Opal-rumped, Opal-crowned, Green-and-gold, Bay-headed, Swallow, Blue-gray, Palm, Silver-beaked, Masked Crimson, Scarlet and Flame-crested Tanagers. A mornings birding on a large island in the middle of the Napo River, proved very successful with great looks at Lesser Hornero, White-bellied and Parker’s Spinetails, Black-and-white Antbird and Lesser Wagtail-Tyrant, all of these birds only occur on islands in the Napo River and nowhere else on earth. Reluctantly leaving Sacha Lodge, we all agreed we had just enjoyed the experience of a lifetime.

We then flew back to Quito, Ecuador’s beautiful capital and drove to Tandayapa Lodge, which is superbly located in perpetually damp, temperate cloud forest, high on the western slope of the Andes. We spent three very rewarding days birding in and around Tandayapa Lodge, just some of the many highlights included large flocks of Band-tailed Pigeons flying high in the mountains, the recently described and rarely seen Cloud-forest Pygmy-Owl, a stunning Lyre-tailed Nightjar in flight, with its incredibly long tail trailing behind. Brilliant Golden-headed and Crested Quetzals, Plate-billed Mountain-Toucans and Toucan Barbets, which seemed too colourful to be real, Spotted and Rusty-winged Barbtails, Striped and Streak-capped Treehunters, nice looks at a Spillman’s Tapaculo, which was our forth species of tapaculo seen on the tour, another two were only heard. We enjoyed watching the bright red hues of brilliantly plumaged Andean Cock-of-the rocks, stunning Golden-winged Manakins, Tricolored, White-winged and Chestnut-capped Brush-Finches and the very rare Tanager Finch, which is only known from this area and one site in Columbia.

However, it was the fantastic hummingbird show at the lodge that was the highlight of our stay here. Without any doubt, it is now the best hummingbird site in the whole of South America; the hummingbird feeders provided an out-of-this-world birding experience that has to be seen to be believed. Green and Sparkling Violetears, Rufous-tailed and Speckled Hummingbirds, Blue-tailed and Andean Emeralds, Fawn-breasted Brilliants and Buff-tailed Coronets constantly buzzed in and out of `plastic flowers’, but most impressive were the lovely Booted Racket-tails, the fantastic Violet-tailed Sylphs and the diminutive Purple-throated Woodstars. Less frequent visitors but still showing well were Brown Violetears, Collared Incas, Empress Brilliants and White-bellied Woodstars, whilst Brown Incas and Purple-bibbed Whitetips made brief appearances.

While at Tandyapa, we descended the western slope of the Andes and spent a great day birding close to San Miguel de Los Bancos. Within just a couple of hours we amassed an amazing list of birds of all shapes, sizes and colours. A beautiful Barred Puffbird perched motionless at the top of a dead tree quietly surveying its surroundings, a Golden-olive Woodpecker was observed busily tapping and probing a horizontal tree branch and Slaty Spinetails and Olive-crowned Yellowthroates skulked in dense shrubbery along the roadside. A stunning Striped Cuckoo was scoped up beautifully, a large canopy flock kept us busy for a good while, containing such birds of interest as Red-headed Barbet, Pacific Hornero, Spotted Woodcreeper, Red-faced Spinetail, Scaly-throated and Lineated Foliage-gleaners, Ornate and Bran-colored Flycatchers, Tropical Parula and a varied procession of tanagers. Ranging from duller ones, such as Ochre-breasted Tanager and Yellow-throated Bush-Tanager, to multihued gems such as Yellow-collared Chlorophonia and Rufous-throated and White-lined Tanagers. Eventually we also found our main target, the awkward Moss-backed Tanager, and after enjoying these and many other lowland species, we headed back up the hill and stopped at Mindo for a late lunch. Here the hummingbird feeders produced a shimmering White-necked Jacobin as well as our only White-whiskered Hermit, for the trip.

Our final day trip, to the Rio Silanche Valley, near Pedro Vicente Maldanado introduced us to the rich avifauna of the western lowlands. Some of the more noteworthy birds included the very localised Dusky Pigeon, the handsome Purple-chested Hummingbird, a few Choco Toucans uttered their incessant croaks from exposed treetops and a Western white-tailed Trogon sat motionless in a small tree. Other lowland specialities included Semiplumbeous Hawk, the near-endemic Guayaquil Woodpecker, Black-headed Antthrush, Black-capped Pygmy-Tyrant, Piratic Flycatcher, Yellow-tufted Dacnis and the stunning Golden-hooded Tanager.
