VENEZUELA: AMAZON & TEPUIS TOURS 2007

 

“The Amazon:

 

Our tour started with a visit to Junglaven Jungle Camp in the Amazon of southern Venezuela.  After an exciting flight in two small planes above untouched rainforest we landed at our remote lodge and the fun began.  We quickly became familiar with the birds around the camp which included such colourful characters as Green-tailed Jacamars, Channel-billed Toucans, Swallow-winged Puffbirds, Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers, and Yellow-rumped Caciques.  A boat trip on the adjacent ‘big lagoon’ the first afternoon revealed Sunbitterns, Black Caracaras, Crestless Curassows, and Gray-necked Woodrails.  Around camp at dawn the next day several of the camps ‘specialities’ showed up almost straight away – the mournful calls of Long-billed Woodcreepers drew our attention to these magnificent creatures and we were soon watching them at close range.  A fabulous Amazonian Umbrellabird flew right into camp and fed in a cecropia tree just above our heads.  A group of lively Green Araçaris glided into the same tree adding colour as well as spectacle to the scene.

 

We sent off into the forest on our first excursion, bouncing down the track in the camp’s old Toyota truck.  Just a few yards in we stopped to watch our first pair of Black Curassows walking away from us in stately fashion glancing back occasionally over their shoulders.  After a couple of miles the truck dropped us off and we started to walk back to camp.  The forest all around us was filled with exotic bird calls and we gradually started turning these into sightings – Black-headed Parrots, White-tailed and Violaceous Trogons, Black Nunbirds, Gilded Barbets, Many-banded and Ivory-billed Araçaris, a Scale-breasted Woodpecker, a Ruddy Spinetail, Amazonian Antshrikes, a Brown-headed Greenlet – but then the bird we had all been hoping for ran onto the track – a Grey-winged Trumpeter!  It saw us and ran out of sight around a bend.  We played the call and it reappeared, followed by not one, not two, but about a dozen others!  They stopped in the middle of the track and clucked and chuckled to one another, peering at us and presumably discussing what these strange creatures were that had appeared in their rainforest home.  We had stunning views through the ‘scopes.  Success on our very first morning with Junglaven’s major speciality.

 

We wandered back towards camp elated, and all agreeing that it couldn’t get any better than this – but it could!  Only a few hundred yards from the trumpeters we heard a loud call in the distance – a ground-cuckoo!  We played the call and it went silent – so much for that.  We looked at some other birds for a while and then it called again – much closer.  We played the call again and waited.  Then another bird called on the opposite side of the track about a hundred yards closer to camp.  We walked towards it and positioned ourselves on a bend where we could see well in both directions and we watched the track.  Then Barry spotted one on the forest floor walking towards us – he signalled and we all watched with bated breath as not just one but two Rufous-winged Ground-Cuckoos walked out of the forest onto the track, stopped briefly to look at us looking at them and then ran on into the forest towards the third bird that was still calling.  Amazing!

 

But it still wasn’t over - later that morning just before leaving the forest, we hit an antswarm and could hear the calls of the obligate antswarm-followers snarling away in the forest.  Some of us glimpsed Rufous-throated Antbirds with their big blue eye rings and so after a celebratory lunch with cold beers all round we head back into the forest and spent the mid afternoon watching the antswarm with its attendant woodcreepers and antbirds.  And then to finish off the day we took another boat trip on the ‘Big Lagoon’ where Ishmael our trusty boatman took us to see an Agami Heron and we found for ourselves Cinnamon Attila, Silvered Antbird, and White-crowned Manakin.

 

To be fair, not all days at Junglaven were quite as exciting and bird-filled as this one, but over the next five days we saw an amazing variety of Amazonian birds which ranged from Great Tinamous in the forest, through Pied Plovers, Yellow-billed and Large-billed Terns, and Black Skimmers along the rivers, to Scarlet and Red-and-green Macaws on the savannahs.  Other local specialities included Rupurumi Hermit, Blackish-gray Antshrike, Cherrie's Antwren, Pale-bellied Mourner, and Yellow-crested and Black Manakins, while birds that Sunbird had never seen at the camp before included Green Heron, Sand-colored Nighthawk, Ladder-tailed Nightjar, and Coraya Wren.  The mammals on the boat trips also merit mention with six Southern River Otters and eleven Giant Otters on the same morning, as well as Pink River Dolphins.  So a great visit to Junglaven which still holds fabulous birds even if the camp itself is starting to show its age a bit.

 

The Tepuis:

 

The next section of the tour visited eastern Venezuela - initially the lowlands around El Palmar and then the Escalera and Gran Sabana in the famous Tepuis region.  The major attraction in the former is always Harpy Eagle and once again we weren't to be disappointed.  Our local guide Xavier had an active nest staked-out and this year it was possible to driver our 4x4s right up to the site.  A four-month old 'chick' was present in the nest when we arrived, looking massive and not at all chick-like.  But when the adult male flew in later in the morning we realised just how much bigger and more massive he was - an awesome bird indeed.  Most years we have to make do with just seeing a 'chick' so it was great this year to see an adult too.

 

The rainforest in the El Palmar area also holds a wealth of other species of course and this year's highlights included point-blank views of a Lined Forest-Falcon, a lovely Great Jacamar, a male Red-necked Woodpecker, a beautiful Ferruginous-backed Antbird, lekking Screaming Pihas, and nesting Cayenne Jays.  We also found a very active antswarm that we visited on two afternoons with a family party of perhaps the ultimate antbird in attendance - the stunning White-plumed, which we watched at our leisure on both days.

 

We then moved on to Canaima National Park and the famous Escalera road with all its pan-Tepui endemics.  We started as usual with a visit to a Capuchinbird display ground where these massive cotingas amazed us with their bizarre calls and behaviour in their scattered lek high in the rainforest canopy.  Cotingas continued to provide major highlights with stunning views of male Guianan Cocks-of-the-Rock, calling White and Bearded Bellbirds, nesting Pompadour Cotingas, and perhaps rarest of all, a Dusky Purpletuft - a seldom seen and little known species.  As to the pan-Tepui endemics themselves we struggled a bit this year, perhaps due to the very hot and dry conditions which meant that very little was singing along the Escalera after about 8.00 in the morning.  Nevertheless, we did see a reasonable selection eventually including Tepui Swift, Rufous-breasted Sabrewing, Velvet-browed Brilliant, Peacock Coquette, Tepui Spinetail, Roraiman Antwren, Black-fronted Tyrannulet, and Olive, Scarlet-horned and Orange-bellied Manakins.  Other highlights here included Orange-breasted Falcon, Blue-cheeked Parrot, and Guianan Toucanet, while in the lowlands nearby a walk through the Guianan rainforest revealed Blackish Nightjar, Tufted Coquette, Black-tailed Trogon, Black-spotted Barbet, a wealth of antbirds including White-browed and Scale-backed, and best of all, a Rose-breasted Chat.  So our time in eastern Venezuela was both very enjoyable and very productive with 324 species being recorded in this ten-day section.”  David Fisher

 

Key to the columns of numbers and letters between the English and the scientific names:

 

First column = number of days recorded

Second column = maximum daily count

H = only heard

(H) = at least one bird seen, but most birds only heard

N = nesting evident

A = Seen during Amazon week (including Colonia Tovar)

T = Seen during Tepuis ten days

 

Birds:

 

The order, English and Scientific names used in this list follow Birds of Venezuela by Steven L. Hilty (2003).  A few species have been split since the publication of that book and footnotes are included for these at the end of the list.
