NORTHWEST ECUADOR and the AMAZON 25 July–9 August 2011

Leader: Michael Retter Photos by Glyn Dawson, Michael Retter, and Geoff Williamson

This fund-raising trip for the Illinois Ornithological Society combined our Northwest Ecuador Introtour with a trip to two exquisite Amazon lodges. Northwest Ecuador is part of the Chocó bioregion, one of the most biodiverse regions of any mainland area, holding over 70 endemic birds (like the Toucan Barbet to the right). We visited a wide range of altitudes from cold, unforgiving alpine grasslands (páramo) to comfortable temperate forests and steamy lowland rainforest. For many birders, visiting the rainforests of the Amazon basin is the holy grail of birding. The biodiversity of this area is arguably the highest in the world, with more than 1,000 bird species recorded from the region. The company of both old friends from Illinois, and some new ones, made for a particularly memorable trip.

Summary

The first morning saw us ascending the

northeastern slope of Volcán Pichincha (left),

headed toward the Yanacoha reserve. We had

a pleasant morning of birding here, finding all

of the expected hummingbirds (like Great

Sapphirewing, Shining Sunbeam, Golden-

breasted Puffleg, and Sword-billed

Hummingbird), as well as a bonus Rainbow-

bearded Thornbill. After a picnic lunch it was

down the Nono-Mindo Road toward

Tandayapa Lodge. Along the way, we had marvelous views of a pair of White-capped Dippers.

Shortly before reaching the Tandayapa Valley, we stopped to view an Andean Cock-of-the-rock

lek and were rewarded with views of both sexes, including a very obliging male that sat in an

open Cecropia for over ten minutes. Overhead, a Solitary Eagle passed by—an extremely rare

bird in these parts. With the help of Tandayapa Lodge’s hummer feeders, we saw 25 species of

hummingbird today! We ended the day marveling at the antics

of Booted Racketails, Violet-tailed Sylphs (right), and Purple-

bibbed Whitetips.

We spent the next morning in the Upper Tandayapa Valley,

successfully chasing down birds like Tanager Finch and Plate-

billed Mountain-Toucan. A pair of Plushcaps was a nice surprise,

but not nearly as surprisng as finding the nest of a pair of

Azara’s Spinetails. A very slow-moving mixed flock provided us

with an hour and a half of entertainment, as we were able to

closely study such species as Beryl-spangled Tanager, Pearled

Treerunner, and Grass-green Tanager. Our afternoon hike to

.


look for Golden-crowned Manakin was pretty much rained out, but we did manage to hear the

little guys between the drops on our umbrellas.

The odd sound of displaying Club-winged Manakins welcomed us to Milpe the next morning, and

we were treated to close views of a number of displaying males. A nearby antswarm was

attended by Immaculate Antbird, Buff-rumped Warbler, Chocó Warbler, and Southern

Nightingale-Wren. We ate lunch next to the hummer feeders, where Green Thorntails swarmed

about in numbers. It rained for a large portion of the afternoon, but we stayed dry and enjoyed a

relaxing afternoon watching the fruit feeders at the Mirador Río Blanco. Exciting tanagers here

included Rufous-throated, White-lined, Blue-necked, and Guira. Just outside the grounds, some

were lucky enough to encounter a tree full of Swallow Tanagers and a Rose-faced Parrot.

We spent the next day at Río Silanche. Right out of the bus we ran into an understory flock led by

Checker-throated and Dot-winged Antwrens. The timing was just right for our visit to the canopy

tower, as a canopy flock appeared and circled ‘round for a good hour. Highlights included Gray-

and-gold Tanager, Yellow-tufted Dacnis, Scarlet-browed Tanager, and Slate-throated

Gnatcatcher.

It was an early start the next day, as

we decended the dim trails at Ángel

Paz’s. Strange but familiar grunting

sounds got louder and louder until we

entered a blind cut into the hillside.

Mere meters before us lay an active

cock-of-the-rock lek. Though we saw

them earlier, these birds were much

closer…and louder! True to form,

Ángel showed us four species of antpitta: Giant, Yellow-breasted, Moustached, and Ochre-

breasted. About midway through the morning, Ángel’s brother pointed into a Cecropia tree, and

.


showed us perhaps the most unexpected bird of the day: White-faced Nunbird. A pair! They sat

almost motionless for a good 10 minutes until a third bird arrived. A whole family! After some quick

pleasantries, one of them flew down the slope and into unseen shadow, but a few seconds later it

reappeared only a few yards away, banging a

huge cicada on a branch before swallowing it

whole. Too cool! Back up at the top, we waited

at a staked-out nest, and before long a male

Orange-breasted Fruiteater (right) appeared.

Finally, we watched the hummer feeders for a

bit, which added the amazing Velvet-purple

Coronet and the golden-bellied Empress Brilliant

to our list.

We spent the next morning birding the dry páramo of Antisana—always an exhilirating

experience. Andean Lapwings and Carunculated Caracaras filled the fields. A pair of Black-

faced Ibis came in and flew a circle right next to the bus before landing and offering marvelous

scope views. A stop at picturesque Laguna Mica yielded Silvery Grebe, Andean Coot, Andean

Teal, Yellow-billed Pintail, and Andean Ruddy-Duck. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch at the old

Humboldt ranch but were (happily) interrupted by the timely flyover of an Andean Condor.

Ecuadorian Hillstar and Stout-billed

Cinclodes also made an appearance. All

of this under the towering summit of

beautiful Volcán Antisana (left). The

weather was gorgeous, so we quickly

headed to Papallacta Pass, famous for its

cold, wet, windy (and generally

miserable) climate. Of course, Rufous-

breasted Seedsnipe was on everyone’s

mind. We spent only about ten minutes

.


searching before the weather abruptly changed. Gone was the sun. Instead, a dark, rumbling sky

began to spit ice at us. The wind picked up, and the sleet came down hard. A few of us stuck it

out for a while longer, and while we didn’t find a seedsnipe, we did find what was for me,

perhaps the most memorable bird of the trip. A smallish black bird appeared, hopping along the

ground. It came closer, and soon it became apparent that it was a hummingbird. It came closer

yet—to within a few feet—and we enjoyed spectacular views of the green-and-magenta gorget

of a Blue-mantled Thornbill. All the while, pellets of white ice bounding off its blue-back back. By

mid-afternoon we were at Guango Lodge, where the hummer feeders attracted a bevy of new

species: Tourmaline Sunangel, Long-tailed Sylph, Chestnut-breasted Coronet, Collared Inca, and

Mountain Velvetbreast, to name a few. A short hike behind the lodge yielded Mountain Wren,

Lacrimose Mountain-Tanager, and the bamboo-loving Slaty Finch.

The next morning was perhaps the most thrilling of the entire trip for me. First, it was a glorious

partly sunny day—a rarity in the wet, temperate forest of the east slope. We simply walked the

open trail behind the lodge, and the birding was non-stop. Flock after flock came by. Northern

Mountain-Cacique. Turquoise Jay. Gray-headed Bush-tanager. Cinnamon Flycatcher. Rusty-

breasted Chat-Tyrant. Buff-breasted Mountain-Tanager (below). Slaty Brush-finch. Gray-breasted

Mountain-Toucan. Heads were literally spinning as we tried—in vain—to see it all. Before we knew

it, hours had passed and we were behind schedule. We quickly looked for Torrent Duck, but

came up short. Another sighting of

White-capped Dipper was a nice

consolation. We drove up to the

Papallacta thermals, and birded

another stretch of temperate forest. It

was quite sunny now, and this seemed

to have a negative impact on bird

activity. What we did see was quality

though. A Tawny Antpitta teed up in a

nearby bush was a big crowd pleaser.

.


We then ascended further to some Polylepis woodland. It was pretty quiet, but we did find a flock

of Hooded Siskins, a Veridian Metaltail, a family of White-throated Tyrannulets, a Páramo

Tapaculo, and a Great Horned Owl (right).

The weather was still cooperating, so we

decided to give the seedsnipe a second

chance. Despite perfect weather and a lot of

searching, we just couldn’t find one. Still, we

saw some great birds in one of the world’s

most bizarre habitats. Andean Tit-Spinetail and

Páramo Ground-Tyrant were favorites. And

everyone got to see the Blue-mantled

Thornbill this time. From here we headed back into Quito, where the trip ended for a couple folks.

The rest of us headed to the domestic terminal of Quito airport the next morning, where we

boarded a plane and flew to Coca, in the Amazonian lowlands. From there we boarded a boat

and headed downstream about two hours to Sacha Lodge. Along the broad, “whitewater” Río

Napo we saw a bunch of new species, such as White-banded Swallow, Greater Yellow-headed

Vulture, Capped Heron, and Swallow-tailed Kite. Upon landing at the Sacha dock, an impressive

Bare-necked Fruitcrow flew over. Awesome! We then followed a boardwalk through várzea

forest. Immediately we came upon a pair of White-eared Jacamars, followed shortly thereafter

by a pair of Scarlet-crowned Barbets and a pair of Black-fronted Nunbirds. About 2km later, we

piled into a dugout canoe and crossed a blackwater lake to arrive at Sacha Lodge. The curious-

looking, ungainly Hoatzins were hard to miss. Surely, this is the living link between birds and the

dinosaurs of old. After settling in, we boarded the canoe again and birded the lake edge. The

odd Black-capped Donacobius made an appearance, as did the smart-looking Rufous-bellied

Euphonia, and the handsome Red-capped Cardinal. We then entered the blackwater Orquídea

Creek. Though it was slow, quality made up for quantity. First, a Rufous-sided Crake walked out

into view. Later, an Agami Heron flushed up and perched in the open just a few feet away.

Spectacular!

.


No trip to Sacha would be complete without visiting its world-famous canopy walkway. Right at

the base of the tower, our local guide, Oscar, showed us a family of Marbled Wood-Quail roosting

in a tree. Our morning on the walkway was well

spent. Speckled Cotingas (right) perched in view for

hours. A gorgeous Ringed Woodpecker was nearly

as obliging. Other highlights included Gilded Barbet,

Masked Tanager, Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher,

Epaulet Oriole, and Ivory-billed Araçari. We ran into

an understory flock in the terra firme forest on the

way back to the lodge for lunch. It included Black-

faced Antbird, Peruvian Warbling-Antbird, Sooty Antbird, and the incredible Musician Wren. A bit

further on, we tracked down the bird that provides the quintessential Amazonian soundtrack: the

gray Screaming Piha. Monkeys were in evidence today: everyone saw Common Squirrel-Monkey,

Venezuelan Red Howler, and Graelle’s [Dark-mantled] Tamarin, and one lucky soul crossed paths

with a family of Pygmy Marmosets! We attempted to bird some várzea forest this afternoon, but a

looming thunderstorm cut our plans short. We did manage to see a group of Masked Crimson

Tanagers, though.

We decided to concentrate on the terra firme forest the next morning, and were rewarded with

amazing views of Rusty-belted Tapaculo and Striated Antthrush. A midstory flock yielded

Fasciated Antshrike and the tiny Bar-winged Piprites. We also found Golden-collared Toucanet,

Black-throated Trogon, King Vulture, and a lek of Straight-billed Hermits. Our afternoon trip was

again cut short by an approaching downpour, but not before we visited a roosting Crested Owl.

Likely due to canopy drip, our evening walk didn’t turn up any owls, but we did see a giant (and

loud) Smoky Jungle Frog, a bright green Emerald Tree Boa, and a roosting Short-billed Leaftosser!

The river islands comprise a totally different habitat, so we elected to spent our next morning

exploring them. A pair of smart-looking Ladder-tailed Nightjars was a nice way to start the

morning. Other river island species we found include Gray-breasted Crake, White-bellied

.


Spinetail, Yellow-browed Sparrow, Chestnut-bellied Seedeater, Oriole Blackbird, and the cute

Spotted Tody-Flycatcher. After lunch we again headed down the Río Napo, this time to Napo

Wildlife Center. New birds along this stretch of river included Black Caracara, Swallow-winged

Puffbird, and Yellow-billed Tern. We were met at the dock by our local guide, Jorge, who then

took us on a slow canoe ride to the lodge. The other-worldly gurgling of Greater Anis was a new

sound for us. (They sort of sound like a pot of boiling water.) So were the calls of Lesser Kiskadees

and Sulphury Flycatchers. A Cinnamon-throated Woodpcreeper paused for ample study in a

large, dead tree, and some lucky people saw one of the most impressive várzea birds—Long-

billed Woodcreeper.

The next morning was dedicated to trying to find Black-necked Red-Cotinga. We visited a a

couple leks, but they just weren’t calling. We did find Spot-winged and Spot-backed Antbird in

the area, though. Nice views of a Black-faced Antthrush and a Great Potoo were had along the

hike. Thoroughly beat after the morning slog, we rested

at the lodge for a while before heading back out in the

afternoon. We slowly proceeded up a blackwater

creek, and this time everyone had prolonged views of

the incredible Long-billed Woodcreeper (left). A rather

antisocial Common Wooly-Monkey attempted to scare

us away with posturing and palm-nut-tossing. As dusk

fell, Jorge played tape for Zigzag Heron. One responded

right away, and we easily found it sitting over the creek.

It was almost too easy! We also found a Tawny-bellied

Screech-Owl and a roosting Green-and-rufous

Kingfisher.

We watched the sun rise from 120 feet above the forest

floor, atop Napo’s canopy tower, which is situated

among the sprawling branches of a massive Ceiba tree.

.


The new birds came fast and furious: White-browed Purpletuft, Green Oropendola, Scarlet-

shouldered Parrotlet, Opal-rumped Tanager, Black-headed Parrot, Plum-throated Cotinga,

Casqued Oropendola. Loud squawks alerted us to the presence of a pair of Blue-and-gold

Macaws, which perched in a tree to tear apart its drying fruit pods. Eventually, they took off and

flew quite close to us at eye level and in perfect light! Back down on the ground, Jorge showed

us a roosting Long-tailed Potoo. While we were watching it, he heard a whistle from inside the

forest, so we tracked it down and were rewarded with nice views of Banded Antbird, an odd,

lethargic, terrestrial antwren. Back towards the Río Napo, some of us were lucky enough to see a

Great Jacamar. Next stop was the parakeet lick. When we arrived it was oddly vacant vacant.

They were all high overhead in the trees atop the bluff. Soon Geoff discovered why: a Bicolored

Hawk was perched nearby, waiting for a meal. We wait and waited, but the hawk woudn’t

budge, so it was “encouraged” to move along by some well-meaning souls. Soon, hundreds of

raucous Cobalt-winged Parakeets decended, creating a whirl of green and blue feathers

(below). Just before we left, the hawk returned and made a pass at the parakeets. It managed

to nab a few feathers off of one, but it missed out on lunch. We got back into the canoe and

returned to the lodge, finding Pygmy Kingfisher and a family of curious Giant Otters along the

way. Tonight we were serenaded to sleep by the mournful stylings of a Common Potoo.

Our final morning at Napo was

mostly travel, but we did see some

neat stuff on the creek on the way

out. Golden-mantled Tamarin was a

highlight for many, as was a Salvin’s

Curassow. Out on the Río Napo we

saw our last new species for the trip:

Large-billed Tern. We flew back to

Quito and enjoyed an afternoon of

shopping and general relaxation

before flying home the next day.
