    Birding in Southern Ecuador February 11 – 27, 2016

    TRIP REPORT Folks,

    Thank you for participating in our amazing adventure to the wilds of Southern Ecuador. The

    vistas were amazing, the lodges were varied and delightful, the roads were interesting—

    thank goodness for Jaime, and the birds were fabulous. With the help of our superb guide

    Jose Illanes, the group managed to amass a total of 539 species of birds (plus 3 additional

    subspecies). Everyone helped in finding birds. You all were a delight to travel with, of

    course, helpful to the leaders and to each other. This was a real team effort. You folks are

    great.

    I have included your top birds, memorable experiences, location summaries, and the triplist

    in this document. I hope it brings back pleasant memories.

    harder.

    35. All of the Jocotoco lodges were comfortable with great food and conducive to

    enjoying the forest around.

    38. Traveling with such a compatible and congenial group—muchas gracias!

    Location Summaries:

    Checklists include all species identified during the days’ excursions as noted below:

    12 February 2016: Due to the delayed flight from Miami carrying the bulk of the group, part

    birded in the morning in the Guayaquil area, including Cerro Blanco. This delay made

    it impossible for the group to visit those locations scheduled for this day. Once

    everyone had arrived, we headed off on a fairly direct drive to our lodging for that

    evening, the Umbrellabird Lodge at Jocotoco Foundation’s Buenaventura Reserve.

    13 February 2016: Day spent birding trails in the Buenaventura Reserve, including a visit to

    see an El Oro Parakeet nesting colony and, of course, a trail leading to a Long-

    wattled Umbrellabird location.

    14 February 2016: Morning birding along a trail in Buenaventura, followed by a drive south to the Jorupe Reserve. Afternoon birding near El Empalme for dry habitat species (dump road) en route.

    15 February 2016: Morning feeder birding followed by trail birding on the old road that cuts

    through the Jorupe Reserve. Afternoon drive west as far as Zapotillo. 16 February 2016: Day trip from Jorupe to Sozoranga (Rufous-collared Swallows and

    pastries) and Utuana. 17 February 2016: Last morning search for Tumbesian birds before the long drive to

    Vilcabamba. 18 February 2016: Early morning departure from Vilcabamba followed by a drive up the

    mountain road to Cerro Toledo (~ 12,000’) and birding down along the road from wet paramo to the highway. After lunch in the field, we drove over the Cordillera de Sabanilla to the Tapichalaca Reserve.

    19 February 2016: Birding the trails at Tapichalaca in the rainy cloud forest, including a morning visit to the feeding location for the Jocotoco Antpitta. Afternoon drive south to Valladolid.

    20 February 2016: We birded along the road and out front of Tapichalaca in the morning,

    grabbed our packed lunches, and headed north to Loja, then northeast to Zumbi and south along a dirt track to the Cabañas Yankuam.

    21 February 2016: We birded morning and evening along the new road (Road to Paradise)

    leading south between the Nangaritza River and the Cordillera del Condor, in search of the Orange-throated Tanager and much more.

    22 February 2016: We started early and birded the end of the road, at and beyond a Shuar

    village on market day. Here along the floodplain of the Nangaritza, we had more typical Amazonian basin birding, including Hoatzins. We headed back to Yankuam, ate lunch, and then drove back to Zamora for the Copalinga Lodge.

    23 February 2016: We headed out early the next morning to bird along a trail in a river

    valley in the Podocarpus National Park, after passing a bus-width + 6” roadbed in the midst of a landslide area. In mid-afternoon, we did some hummingbirding around the lodge, and then visited some other sites in Zamora (downtown along the Bombuscara River, at the Zamora airfield, and at a roadcut where Blackish Nightjars put on a show).

    24 February 2016: Early in the morning, we returned to downtown Zamora briefly before

    heading off on the Old Zamora Road for more roadside birding. The persistent rain was problematic, though we found several nice mixed flocks. Birding along the river gave us great looks at Torrent Ducks. Later in the day we headed off for Cuenca and the Hosteria Durán.

    25 February 2016: We headed out early this morning again, this time to visit a Jocotoco

    Foundation Reserve called Yunguilla, which protects the critically endangered Pale-headed Brushfinch. We birded the scrubby hillsides here until lunch, then headed back toward Cuenca. After a little tourist activity in the old city, we returned to the Durán for a little rest before dinner.

    26 February 2016: After breakfast, we headed east from Cuenca, climbing gradually into El

    Cajas National Park. In the morning, we visited alpine lakes, polylepis forests, wet paramo, and dramatic mountain scenery as we topped out at about 13,000’, ate our lunch on the Continental Divide, and spent the rest of the day motoring west and north to Guayaquil. We managed a roadside sighting of Horned Screamer south of Guayaquil, to the delight of many.
