www.Birding-In-Peru.com A TRIP REPORT FOR A BIRDING TRIP TO

NORTHERN PERU

September 13th to October 2nd 2018

Trip Leader and report redaction: Alex Durand/Barry Walker

A twenty-day trip to North Peru making the circuit into the interior of the country starting and finishing in Chiclayo with a day along the coast south of

Lima, targeting some of the endemic species of the area. Many have copied this trip over the years but we still pride ourselves on having the best and most comprehensive North Peru Tour available, and the opportunity to visit the impressive Chachapoyan archaeological site of Kuelap. Although we tended to concentrate on endemic birds we did not ignore commoner species and managed quite a list. We successfully saw some very good species indeed including Long-whiskered Owlet, Marvelous Spatuletail, Royal Sunangel, , Rusty-tinged Chesnut and 4 endemic Antpittas, Bar-winged Wood-Wren, White-faced Nunbird, Russet-mantled Softail plus much much more. At Abra Patricia we managed to record a wide variety of the special birds of this endemic area including 49 species of Hummingbirds most seen very well at feeding stations, 31 species of true Tanager and recorded 35 true Peruvian endemics and many other range restricted species and near Endemics, Marañon Endemics and Tumbezian Endemics, as well as 2 endemic primates!

DAY BY DAY ACTIVITIES

DAY 1 – Sep 13th: Full Day Lima – Pucusana and Pantanos de Villa. After breakfast we travelled with by road south to Pucusana. A boat trip to visit Pucusana was a success and we saw a lot of inshore pelagic birds, did some birding around the town with a sit-down lunch at a seaside restaurant and then started back to lima in the afternoon visiting Pantanos the Villa along the way where we saw a lot of birds before returning to our Lima hotel.

DAY 2 – Sep 14th: Lima Chiclayo – Bosque Pomac and Tucume This day we started very early for our flight.

We started with a trip to Bosque Pomac where we birded and Aurelio fixed lunch after which we visited the Salinas area to look for Tumbesian endemics and other birds. We finished up the day at Hotel Horcones de Tucume next to the pre-Colombian pyramid. This site was a major regional center, maybe even the capital of the successive occupations of the area by different cultures - the Lambayeque/Sican (800-1350 AD), Chimú (1350–1450 AD) and Inca (1450–1532 AD). Local shaman healers (curanderos) invoke power of Tucume and La Raya Mountain in their rituals, and local people fear these sites. Hardly anyone other than healers venture out in this site at night.

In this day we looked early the Marvelous Spatuletail before breakfast and one seen at the feeders and then back for more looks at Marvelous Spatuletail and seen very good views After we birded more around the Huembo Lodge and after lunch we started travelling to Chachapoyas with stops along the road and we arrive Achamaqui hotel where we birded in the afternoon with plenty of birds.

Day 13 Sep 25th: Achamaqui Hotel to Leymeybamba. This day we had some early coffee and the we started for Kuelap. The cable car a sunder repair so we had to drive the 3 hours up the ruins where we saw a nice selection of birds and the spectacular old Chachapoyan ruins. Human occupation at the site starts in the 5th century AD, but the majority of structures were built between 900 and 1100 AD. The city may have had some 300 000 inhabitants, but was abandoned in 1570 due to the Spanish Conquest. As a consequence, the city deteriorated and was covered by tree roots and vegetation. Juan Crisóstomo Nieto, a judge from the city of Chachapoyas Then, in 1870, Antonio Raimondi made a survey of the site. In 1939, French general Louis Langlois studied the site and wrote a detailed description of the main buildings. Explorer Charles Wiener visited the site in 1881. Kuélap was also studied by archaeologists Adolf Bandelier (1940); Ernst Middendorf (1887); spouses Henry and Paule Reichlen (1948); and Arturo Ruíz (1972). Since the 1980s many Peruvian and foreign archaeologists continued with excavations and studies at Kuélap. Back parking place and then we started back down with a stop for lunch and for birding.

BIRDLIST

Taxonomy: SACC = South American Classification Committee http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html

NOTE FROM SACC: “With passage of proposal 723, the linear sequence of orders in

this classification now greatly differs from the traditional sequence with which most users are familiar, particularly the sequence between the traditional beginning (ratites) and the end (passerines). Multiple independent data sets indicate that the traditional division between waterbirds and landbirds has little phylogenetic basis, with some of the non-passerine landbird orders more closely related to waterbird orders than to other landbird orders, and vice versa. To perpetuate the traditional sequence misleads ornithologists into thinking that waterbird’s, for example, form a monophyletic group. So we might as well get used to it now!

KEY IOC = International Ornithologist’s Union http://www.worldbirdnames.org/ * = Heard Only RR = Restricted-range species E = Endemic to Peru TE = Tumbesian endemic restricted to the dry forests of N Peru and Southern Ecuador ME = Marañon Endemic restricted to the Marañon Canyon Conservation Status: Follows Birdlife International

Family: TINAMIDAE (TINAMOUS) The word "tinamou" comes from the Galibi term for these birds, tinamu. Tinamous have traditionally been regarded as the sister group of the flightless ratites, but recent work places them well within the ratite radiation, implying basal ratites could fly. Tinamous first appear in the fossil record in the Miocene epoch. They are generally sedentary, ground-dwelling and, though not flightless, when possible avoid flight in favour of hiding or running away from danger. They are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from semi-arid alpine grasslands to tropical rainforests. The two subfamilies are broadly divided by habitat, with the Nothurinae referred to as steppe or open country tinamous, and the Tinaminae known as forest tinamous. With occasional exceptions, a male tinamou maintains a territory and a nesting site during the breeding season which a succession of females will visit, laying their eggs in the same nest. Females will wander through several territories mating with, and laying eggs in the nests of, the resident males. Nests are always on the ground, concealed in vegetation or among rocks. Eggs are relatively large and glossy, often brightly colored when laid, and are incubated by the males for a period of 2–3 weeks. The chicks can run soon after hatching and are largely self-sufficient at three weeks old. CINEREOUS TINAMOU - Crypturellus cinereus Two a good view at Arenas Blanca Reserve coming to the feeding station LITTLE TINAMOU - Crypturellus soui 3 individuals seen in feeding at the Arena Blanca Reserve TATAUPA TINAMOU – Crypturellus tataupa One seen Uña de Gato reserve ANDEAN TINAMOU – Nothoprocta pentlandii

Little Tinamou

Family: ANATIDAE (DUCKS AND GEESE) COMB DUCK - Sarkidiornis sylvicola

65 individuals seen at reservoir Gallito Ciego on our way from Cajamarca to Chiclayo. The New World Comb Duck is now treated as a species distinct from the Old-World Knob-billed Duck Sarkidiornis melanotos and is treated as such by Pinto (1938), Hellmayr & Conover (1948aa), Wetmore (1965), and del Hoyo & Collar (2014) and the IOC

Comb Duck

CINNAMON TEAL – Spatula cyanoptera Fairly commonly seen at Pantanos de Villa in Lima BLUE-WINGED TEAL – Apatula discors One at Pantanos de Villa in lima WHITE-CHEEKED PINTAIL – Anas bahamensis We saw several at Pantanos the Villa and also at the Eten wedlands ANDEAN DUCK – Oxyura ferruginea. Very common in Pantanos de Villa in Lima. A bit of. Misnomer as it is also found laong the coast The SACC says “Andean populations of Ruddy Duck (O. jamaicensis) have often (e.g., Hellmayr & Conover 1948a, Siegfried 1976, Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, AOU 1998, Ridgely et al. 2001, Jaramillo 2003) been treated as a separate species, O. ferruginea ("Andean Duck" or "Andean Ruddy-Duck"). However, see Adams and Slavid (1984), Fjeldså (1986), and McCracken & Sorenson (2005) for rationale for treating them as conspecific, as done previously (e.g., Blake 1977, Johnsgard 1979), and then followed by Fjeldså & Krabbe (1990) and Carboneras (1992f). Siegfried (1976) and Livezey (1995) considered ferruginea to be more closely related to O. vittata than to O. jamaicensis, but McCracken & Sorenson (2005) showed that this is incorrect.” Go and chew that one over! In short it is split from O. jamaicensis (Ridgely & Greenfield 2001; Jaramillo 2003. All authorities now recognize this split

Family: CRACIDAE (GUANS) SPECKLED CHACHALACA - Ortalis guttata* Heard at Wakanqi Lodge in Moyobamba. ANDEAN GUAN – Penelope montagnii One seen at Cañon Condor in Leymeybamba. Penelope was the wife of the hero Odysseus in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Icarius and Periboea. Penelope had managed to keep all of her suitors at bay. She had told them she would choose a suitor once she finished weaving a burial shroud for her father-in-law, Laertes; however, every night, she would undo part of the shroud. Her plan was revealed by one of her servants, Melantho. Penelope eventually appeared in front of the suitors and said that she would marry the suitor that would be able to string Odysseus' bow and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads. She already knew that this was a task that only her husband would have been able to achieve. None of the suitors was able to complete the task, and a disguised Odysseus asked to try; after being successful, he revealed himself and killed the suitors with the help of his son, the goddess Athena, and two of his herdsmen. Penelope, still not believing that this was her husband, told him to command the servant to move their bed. Odysseus protested saying that it was impossible as one of the legs of the bed was part of a living olive tree. Penelope finally accepted that this man was who he claimed to be, and the couple were reunited.

SICKLE-WINGED GUAN – Chamaepetes goudotii One at Puente Ñieva at Abra Patricia and also Huembo feeder. Chamaepetes: Gr.

Khamaipetes: Falling to the ground. goudotii: After J. Goudot, French zoologist who worked in Colombia.

E TE WHITE-WINGED GUAN – Penelope albipennnis Two birds seen at Quebrada Limon. Feared extinct for nearly a century until its dramatic rediscovery in 1977, the White-winged Guan has been the subject of an intensive captive-breeding and conservation campaign. This species is endemic to the foothills of the Tumbesian region in northwestern Peru, where it occurs in dry deciduous forest on slopes and in ravines. ENDANGERED

STRIPED CUCKOO – Tapera naevia One seen on our way to Leymeybamba great views

FamIly: CAPRIMULGIDAE (POTOOS) The potoos are a highly conservative family in appearance, with all the species closely resembling one another; species accounts in ornithological literature remark on their unusual appearance. Potoos range from 21–58 cm in length. They resemble upright sitting nightjars, a closely related family (Caprimulgidae). They also resemble the frogmouths of Australasia that are stockier and have much heavier bills. They have proportionally large heads for their body size and long wings and tails. The large head is dominated by a massive broad bill and enormous eyes. In the treatment of the family in the Handbook of the Birds of the World, Cohn-Haft describes the potoos as "little more than a flying mouth and eyes". The bill, while large and broad, is also short, barely projecting past the face. It is delicate, but has a unique "tooth" on the cutting edge of the upper mandible that may assist in foraging. Unlike the closely related nightjars, the potoos lack rictal bristles around the mouth. The legs and feet are weak and used only for perching. The eyes are large, even larger than those of nightjars. As in many species of nocturnal birds, they reflect the light of flashlights. Their eyes, which could be conspicuous to potential predators during the day, have unusual slits in the lids, which allow potoos to sense movement even when their eyes are closed. Their plumage is cryptic, helping them blend into the branches on which they spend their days. COMMON POTOO – Nyctibius griseus Great views at Fundo Alto Ñieva reserve

Family: CAPRIMULGIDAE (NIGHTJARS) BAND-WINGED NIGHTJAR – Systellura longirostris One seen in the upper the Marañon valley near the Celendin. COMMON PAUARQUE - Nyctidromus albicollis* Heard at Wachamaqi Hotel. SWALLOW-TAILED NIGHTJAR – Uropsalis segmentata One male seen on the last morning at Owlet Lodge

Family: APODIDAE (SWIFTS) Except when nesting, swifts spend their lives in the air, living on the insects caught in flight; they drink, feed, and often mate and sleep on the wing. Some individuals go 10 months without landing. No other bird spends as much of its life in flight. Their maximum horizontal flying speed is 111.6 km/h.

WHITE-COLLARED SWIFT - Streptoprocne zonaris A few seen around Owlet Lodge and in the Marañon valley CHESTNUT-COLLARED SWIFT – Streptoprocne rutilus A few seen around Owlet Lodge and also in Quebrada Chonta ANDEAN SWIFT – Aeronautes andecolus A few seen at Quebrada Limon, Abra Patricia and also in the Marañon Valley SHORT-TAILED SWIFT - Chaetura brachyura A few seen around Nueva Cajamarca TE RR TUMBES SWIFT – Chaetura cinereiventris Common seen at Quebrada Limon in Olmos NEOTROPICAL PALM-SWIFT - Tachornis squamata Seen several days throughout the trip, always near Mauritia palms LESSER SWALLOW-TAILED SWIFT – Panyptila cayennensis One seen at Waqanki Lodge roosting

Family: TROCHILIDAE (HUMMINGBIRDS) With some 330 currently recognized species, these amazing birds form one of the largest avian families in the New World, surpassed only by the Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae), the latter comprising over 370 species. Amazing little creatures, hummingbirds have a resting heart rate of 1000 beats per minute (compare this to the average human rate of around 60-80 beats per minute!). This carries tremendous amounts of oxygen and energy to the relatively massive breast muscles. In addition, birds have to have a huge lung capacity in order to keep up with the large amounts of oxygen needed. Their respiratory system is so highly developed that they can actually breathe in and out at the same time. WHITE-NECKED JACOBIN - Florisuga mellivora Very common at Reserva Arena Blanca & Waqanki hummingbird feeders GREAT-BILLED HERMIT - Phaethornis malaris One seen at Wakanqi Hummingbird feeders RR BLACK-THROATED HERMIT- Phaethornis atrimentalis One seen at Waqanki Hummingbird Feeders.

Theresiae: In honor of Thérèse Baer, wife of French natural history dealer and collector Gustave A. Baer. RAINBOW STARFRONTLET – Coeligena iris One seen at Kente Café hummingbird feeders LONG-TAILED SYLPH – Aglaiocercus kingi Common at the Owlet Lodge feeders. Named for Rear-Admiral Philip Parker King (1791-1856) British marine surveyor and collector in tropical America. He subsequently commanded the survey vessel HMS Adventure, and in company with HMS Beagle, spent five years surveying the complex convoluted coasts around the Strait of Magellan (1826-1830) at the southern tip of South America. At the same time, King put together a unique collection of Patagonian objects from local tribes living in Tierra del Fuego, which was later donated to the British Museum in London. In addition to written records, King also lent his hand to drawing and watercolor painting for illustrations, some of which were later used to illustrate his accounts. The result was presented at a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society in 1831. His eldest son, also named Philip Gidley King,[7] accompanied his father and continued as a midshipman in HMS Beagle (1832 – 1836) on the continuing survey of Patagonia under Robert FitzRoy, in the company of noted scientist Charles Darwin (1809-1882). King owned a property at Dunheved in the western suburbs of Sydney where he entertained Charles Darwin on Darwin’s last night in Sydney in January 1836 TYRIAN METALTAIL – Metallura tyrianthina One seen at Abra Gavilan. Named for Tyrion Lannister, first of his name of Casterly Rock. No really, named after the color Tyrian purple. Variously known as Royal purple, Tyrian purple, purple of the ancients, this ancient dyestuff, mentioned in texts dating about 1600 BC, was produced from the mucus of the hypobranchial gland of various species of marine mollusks, notably Murex. Although originating in old port of Tyre in modern day Syria (hence the name), man’s first large scale chemical industry spread throughout the world. With the decline of the Roman Empire, the use of the dye also declined and large-scale production ceased with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. It was replaced by other cheaper dyes like lichen purple and madder. BLACK METALTAIL – Metallura phoebe RR One at Quebrada Chonta great looks E GRAY BELLIED COMET – Taphrolesbia griseiventris Two Individuals seen at Quebrada Chonta in Cajamarca where the habitat is being severely destroyed very sad. The Grey-bellied Comet was described by the prolific Polish ornithologist Wladyslaw Taczanowski in 1883. In life it was recorded by the late Ted Parker near La Union in the early 1980’s and then by Barry Walker in the late 1980’s near Abra

Gavilan, Cajamarca. These were years of civil war in Peru and the area where the Comet was supposed to be was off-limits to foreigners. The species then vanished off the ornithological map until Richard Garrigues encountered it again whilst visiting an ornithologically unknown valley in 1999. Following in Richard’s footsteps, the valley of the Rio Chonta near the large city of Cajamarca was subsequently visited by many birders and became THE spot to see this once-enigmatic species. Unfortunately, threats including recent extensive burning in the Chonta Valley have caused concern for this species’ welfare. ENDANGERED

RR PERUVIAN RACKET-TAIL - Ocreatus peruvianus One female seen at Owlet Lodge and some males seen at Fundo Alto Ñieva reserve. The Racket tailed Puffleg was unknown in life but specimens existed in various London cabinets, whence a drawing was sent in 1832 by Mr. Underwood on behalf of Charles Stokes, a London stockbroker and collector. An article in Zootaxa 4200 (1): 083–108 2016 Biogeography and taxonomy of racket-tail hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae: Ocreatus): evidence for species delimitation from morphology and display behavior by KARL-L. SCHUCHMANN, ANDRÉ-A. WELLER & DIETMAR JÜRGENS provided evidence from plumage and behavior that Ocreatus underwoodii should be treated as four species, with the subspecies addae, annae, a n d peruana elevated to species rank. If this is so the species would be thus: White-booted Racket-tail O. underwoodii Venezuela to Ecuador Peruvian Racket-tail O. peruvianus E Ecuador to NE Peru Anna’s Racket-tail O. annae Pasco to Cuzco (endemic) Rufous-booted Racket-tail O. addae Bolivia (endemic)

Blackish Oystercatcher

Family: RECURVIROSTRIDAE (STILTS & AVOCETS) BLACK-NECKED STILT - Himantopus mexicanus Fairly common seen around the Moyobamba and also in Eten wetlands Chiclayo. The SACC says “Himantopus mexicanus was formerly considered a subspecies of Old-World H. himantopus (“Common Stilt”). Some authors have treated southern South American melanurus (White-backed Stilt) as a separate species. The six taxa in the genus Himantopus form a near-globally distributed super species and between one to six species-level taxa recognized by various authors. Virtually no data are available relevant to taxon-ranking of allopatric populations. The contact between mexicanus and melanurus in South America, where at least some hybridization occurs, affords one of the best opportunities for such study

KELP GULL – Larus dominicanus Another common at Pucusana and also in Pantanos de Villa Lima GRAY-HOODED GULL – Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus Very common at Pantanos de Villa in Lima RR GRAY GULL – Leucophaeus modestus Several seen at Pantanos de Villa in Lima. For years it was a mystery as to where this species bred. They were seen copulating on the coast, vocalizing and displaying, but no nests were found. Given the many thousands present on shore it was a paradox that no colonies had been discovered. It was not until the early 1970s that it was confirmed that this gull breeds deep in the absolute desert of northern Chile. It takes flat areas in the desert, where often no measurable rainfall exists in a year, a decade, or more. Lacking the basic element of life, water, these breeding areas are surprisingly safe as there are few to no predators there. FRANKLIN´S GULL – Leucophaeus pipixcan One seen at Pantanos de Villa in Lima. The bird was named after the Arctic explorer Sir John

Franklin, who led an 1823 expedition in which the first specimen of Franklin's gull was taken.

Inca Tern

Family: SPHENISCIDAE (PENGUINS) RR HUMBOLDT PENGUIN – Spheniscus humbolti 14 individuals seen at Pucusana Island in lima. Named for Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander, Freiherr (baron) von Humboldt, (born Sept. 14, 1769, Berlin—died May 6, 1859, Berlin), German naturalist and explorer who was a major figure in the classical period of physical geography and biogeography—areas of science now included in the earth sciences and ecology. With his book Kosmos he made a valuable contribution to the popularization of science. The Humboldt Current off the west coast of South America was named after him which is where this Penguin lives. The name Penguin originally applied to the great auk (now extinct) of the seas around Newfoundland in Canada, and may have come from the Welsh pen gwyn, meaning 'white head' (or a similar phrase in the Breton or Cornish languages). In the logbook of the Golden Hind, which sailed around the world in 1577–80, there is a reference to a 'foule, which the Welsh men name Pengwin' that was seen in the Magellan Straight at the tip of South America. The sailors on the expedition may have mistaken penguins for great auks, or simply applied a term they knew to an unfamiliar bird: the great auk resembled a penguin in that it was a large flightless bird with black and white plumage that was adapted to life in freezing waters.

MOUNTAIN CARACARA – Phalcoboenus megalopterus 3 individuals seen at Barro Negro and also in Cajamarca very common CRESTED CARACARA – Caracara cheriway Very common. As there are no true Crows in South America, Caracaras occupy that niche as omnivorous scavengers. Small numbers at several sites Formerly placed in the genus

Polyborus but, this species has been switched to the genus Caracara. Note also that the former species known as Crested Caracara, has been split into three species with those ranging north of north-west Peru and the Amazon River (i.e. Colombia) are referable to Northern Crested-Caracara C. cheriway while another form, the extinct Guadalupe Caracara C. lutosus, of Guadalupe Island, Mexico, has also been given its untimely species status. The SACC says “Caracara cheriway and C. plancus were formerly considered conspecific (e.g., Hellmayr & Conover 1949, Phelps & Phelps 1958a), sometimes also including C. lutosus of Guadalupe Island (e.g., Meyer de Schauensee 1970, Stresemann and Amadon 1979), but the ranges of cheriway and plancus are nearly parapatric with no sign of interbreeding AMERICAN KESTREL - Falco sparverius Very common APLOMADO FALCON – Falco femoralis One seen on our way Leymeybamba to Celendin PEREGINE FALCON – Falco peregrinus One seen at Hacienda Limon in the Marañon Valley

E ME NORTHERN SLATY ANTSHRIKE - Thamnophilus punctatus leucogaster A pair seen at Yanahuanca reserve in Jaen. The SACC says “Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) further recognized leucogaster of the Marañon Valley (with huallagae of Huallaga Valley) as a separate species from punctatus; this taxon was tentatively retained as a subspecies of T. punctatus by Isler et al. (1997), with further evidence confirming subspecies status presented by Isler, Walker et al. (2001). The subspecies huallagae was formerly (e.g. Peters 1951) treated as a subspecies of T. amazonicus, but see Isler et al. (1997).

STREAK-HEADED ANTBIRD - Drymophila straticeps Very good view at Owlet Lodge on the Grallaria trail. The article in Condor “AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO SPECIES-LEVEL SYSTEMATICS REVEALS THE DEPTH OF DIVERSIFICATION IN AN ANDEAN THAMNOPHILID, THE LONG-TAILED ANTBIRD” By Morton L. Isler, Andrés M. Cuervo, Gustavo A, Bravo, and Robb T. Brumfield In part says “we propose the following taxonomic positions and English names for members of the complex. Regarding the English names, we have rejected the inclusion of “long-tailed” in the names, as proposed by Cory and Hellmayr (1924), because the names would become too cumbersome. The sequence reflects the estimated phylogeny:

Drymophila klagesi Hellmayr and Seilern, 1912—Klages’s Antbird. Eastern and northern Venezuela, Serranía de Perijá, and northern Eastern Andes in Norte de Santander, Colombia (includes klagesi, aristeguietana, and Norte de Santander study groups; clade A). Drymophila hellmayri Todd, 1915—Santa Marta Antbird. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia (includes hellmayri; clade B). Drymophila caudata (Sclater, 1854)—Long-tailed Antbird. Eastern Andes from Santander (west of the ChicamochaCanyon) to Caquetá and Huila, Colombia (includes Santander and Upper Magdalena study groups; clade C). Drymophila striaticeps Chapman, 1912—Streak-headed Antbird. The Western and Central Andes of Colombia south through Ecuador (both slopes) and Peru (eastern slope) to

northwestern Bolivia in La Paz (includes striaticeps, occidentalis, peruviana, and boliviana; clade D).

BLACKISH ANTBIRD - Cercomacroides nigrescens One seen at Abra Patricia area. Recently split into this species and Riparian Antbird C. fuscicauda on account of its strong vocal distinctiveness; Riparian differs in its (in female) paler, duller ochraceous overall colour (1); tawny-washed crown, producing a less contrasting facial pattern (1); greyer flanks (1); more clearly marked wing-coverts (ns[1]); and (in male) song with much faster pace (from published data effect size vs next fastest 11.4, score 4) and many more notes (effect size vs next most numerous 3.7, score 2). In addition, C. fuscicauda is confined to riparian habitats, although C. nigrescens, which occurs in other habitats, also uses riparian formations. Monotypic.

And also seen at Jaen. The SACC says: The subspecies cinnamomeus of W. Ecuador and NW. Peru may deserve recognition as a separate species from F. leucopus (Ridgely & Tudor 1994) and was treated as such by Parker & Carr (1992) and Ridgely & Greenfield (2001). The subspecies longirostris was also treated as a separate species by Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003). Although vocal and behavioral differences have been reported, no real analysis has been published to support these splits.

backed Treehunter and others I have consulted agree – I can see no streaking on the mantel and there are pale throat feathers.

Range of Flammmulated Treehunter

PEARLED TREERUNNER - Margarornis squamiger 3 individuals seen at Cañon of Condors in Leymeybamba [MARAÑON] RUFOUS-FRONTED THORNBIRD - Phacellodomus rufifrons peruvianus Very common seen at Waqanki lodge in moyobamba. Here the subspecies peruvianus, sometimes treated as a distinct species. SACC comment: Ridgely & Greenfield (2001)

considered northern inornatus (with castilloi) a separate species from Phacellodomus rufifrons, and this was followed by and Hilty (2003); vocalizations are reported to differ, but no analysis or data have been published. SACC proposal to recognize inornatus as separate species did not pass because of insufficient published data. Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) also suggested that the subspecies peruvianus of the Marañon valley deserved recognition as a separate species.

These are vocally identical to those found in Central Peru, but recently there has been considerable debate about whether

these are distinct from the Golden-faced Tyrannulet (likewise the species status of Loja Tyrannulet). Probably Peruvian birds away from the NE should be lumped into one as Peruvian Tyrannulet. STREAK-NECKED FLYCATCHER - Mionectes striaticollis One seen below the mirador turistico Alto Mayo Reserve. Flycatchers in this genus are unusual in being frugivorous rather than insectivorous. Hence, like many Cotingas and Manakins, they also have lek systems OCHRE-BELLIED FLYCYACHER - Mionectes oleaginous One seen at Wakanki Lodge in Moyobamba RR WHITE-BELLIED PYGMY-TYRANT - Myiornis albiventris One seen at Wakanki Lodge in Moyobamba.

COMMON TODY-FLYCATCHER - Todirostrum cinereum Seen several times YELLOW-BREASTED (OLIVE FACED) TOLMOMYIAS - Tolmomyias (viridiceps) flaviventris One seen at Wakanki lodge. The SACC says: Tolmomyias flaviventris almost certainly involves more than one species; see Bates et al. (1992) and Ridgely & Tudor (1994). The

subspecies viridiceps is almost certainly a distinct species, and was so considered by Ridgely et al. (2001) and Hilty (2003). However, Zimmer (1939a) considered them conspecific because the subspecies he considered the subspecies subsimilis and dissors to represent taxa that were intermediate between the two, and this treatment was followed by Fitzpatrick (2004) in the absence of published data supporting a split. Proposal needed. The IOC recognizes the split.

WHITE-BROWED CHAT TYRANT – Ocththoeca leucophrys One seen on seen upper the Marañon Valley. SLATY-BACKED (MAROON-CHESTED) CHAT-TYRANT – Ochthoeca thoracica Two individuals seen at Cañon of Condors in Leymeybamba. Garcia-Moreno et al. (1998) suggested that the plumage and genetic differences between subspecies groups north and south of the Maranon should be recognized at the species level, with Ochthoeca thoracica the name for the southern species. Ridgely & Tudor (1994) reported that there are also vocal differences that would support this split. Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003) further recognized Venezuelan nigrita as a separate species from O. cinnamomeiventris, as done by Cory & Hellmayr (1927); see Zimmer (1937b) for the rationale for treating them all as conspecific based on plumage pattern, the treatment followed by Fitzpatrick (2004).

Family: PIPRIDAE (MANAKINS) E PAINTED MANAKIN - Machaeropterus eckleberryi A pair seen at Misquiyacu trail in Waqanki Lodge in Moyobamba. Described in 2017 by D:F Lane et al. The authors say: We describe a new taxon of manakin in the Machaeropterus regulus complex, from the foothills of southwestern Loreto and northern San Martin departments, Peru. This new form appears to be almost identical morphologically to the Tepui form M. regulus aureopectus but differs strongly from that and all other members of the M. regulus complex in voice. Therefore, we conclude that this population represents a new biological species that we here name Machaeropterus eckelberryi. We are pleased to name this colorful manakin after one of the greatest American bird artists of the twentieth century, Donald R. Eckelberry. Not only did Eckelberry’s artwork increase the world’s awareness of the beauty of the birds of the Americas, particularly the Neotropics, but he also was a great force in the establishment of the Asa Wright Nature Center in Trinidad, and a wonderful mentor to young bird artists.

Family: VIREONIDAE (VIREOS) RUFOUS-BROWED PEPPERSHRIKE – Cyclarhis gujanensis One seen at Quebrada Limon in Olmos and also seen in Owlet lodge. CHIVI VIREO – Vireo chivi We saw this in Quebrada Limon. Chivi Vireo is one of the most widespread and common passerines of South America. This species consists of a complex mosaic of resident and migratory populations, however. Not only is there seasonal overlap, in the austral winter, between some resident populations and wintering populations from southern South America, but during the boreal winter there also is overlap between the same resident Chivi Vireos and wintering Red-eyed Vireos (Vireo olivaceus) from North America! For many years Chivi and Red-eyed vireos were considered to be the same species; this is understandable, given that they are very similar in appearance, but phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data reveals that Chivi is more closely related to Black-whiskered Vireo (Vireo altiloquus) than it is to Red-eyed. The general biology of Chivi Vireo probably is very similar to that of Red-eyed Vireo but, despite its abundance, Chivi Vireo is much less well studied. BROWN-CAPPED VIREO – Vireo leucophrys Seen around Abra Patricia. OLIVACEOUS GREENLET – Hylophilus olivaceus * One heard around Afluente

GRAY-MANTLED WREN – Odontorchilus branickii * One seen bellow AT Alto Ñieva great looks HOUSE WREN - Troglodytes aedon * Very common. (e.g, Hellmayr 1934, Pinto 1944, Phelps & Phelps 1950a) formerly treated Neotropical mainland populations as a separate species T. musculus; see also Brumfield and Capparella (1996); this treatment was followed by Brewer (2001) and Kroodsma & Brewer (2005). The Falklands population, T. cobbi, IS also be best treated as a species (Wood 1993),

as was done by Brewer (2001), Mazar Barnett & Pearman (2001), Jaramillo (2003), and Kroodsma & Brewer (2005) MOUNTAIN WREN - Troglodytes solstitialis Two different days seen at Abra Patricia. THRUSH-LIKE WREN - Campylorhynchus turdinus Very good views around Nueva Cajamarca on our way to Moyobamba.

RR PARAMO WREN – Cistothorus aequatorialis A pair seen on our way Celendin to Cajamarca around Cruz Conga. Robbins & Nyári (2014) found that Cistothorus platensis was paraphyletic with respect to the other two, and they proposed recognition of nine species within broadly defined platensis, seven of which are in South America: C. alticola, C. aequatorialis, C. graminicola, C. minimus, C. tucumanus, C. hornensis, and C. platensis. So, in Peru you have 3 species that came out of the old Sedge Wren Paramo Wren Cistothorus aequatorialis – Ecuador to Cajamarca Department Peru E Junín Wren Cistothorus graminicola – Marañon River to Junín Department Peru Puna Wren Cistothorus minimus – Southern Peru to Bolivia GRAY-BREASTED WOOD-WREN - Henicorhina leucophrys One seen at Abra Patricia.

GNATWRENS AND ALLIES. TROPICAL GNATCATCHER – Polioptila plumbea Very common at Bosque Pomac and Quebrada Limon in Olmos. The SACC says: Polioptila plumbea likely includes several species (Atwood and Lerman 2006). The

subspecies maior of the Mara�on Valley (treated as a separate species by Hellmayr 1934) and the bilineata group of northern South American and Middle America may each warrant species recognition, but a published analysis is lacking (Ridgely & Tudor 1989). Even within populations east of the Andes, vocal differences suggest that more than one species is involved (Ridgely & Greenfield 2001, Hilty 2003). RR ME MARAÑON GNATCATCHER –Polioptila major Fairly common seen at Marañon Valley and also in San Marcos Valley in Cajamarca.
