As is becoming increasingly obvious, the El Niño of 2015-6 is shaping up to be a bad one! This has affected weather globally, which certainly has been obvious in Peru. On the Pacific coast, the usually cool, overcast weather has been warmer and sunnier. Meanwhile, on the Amazonian slope of the Andes, the May-to-September dry season has been marked by considerably more precipitation than normal. We witnessed this first hand but, happily, it didn't make birding in San Martin impossible; we just had to have some patience. And the birding in the Peruvian departments of San Martin and Amazonas was incredible!
On our first day, driving from Tarapoto to Moyobamba, we enjoyed the Oilbird cave under the highway and some open-country birds that are rather rare and local in Peru (and not much easier to see elsewhere!), such as Cinereous-breasted Spinetail, Masked Duck, and Black-billed Seed-Finch.
Our next day, we continued to enjoy the interesting avifauna of the unique Mayo Valley, where there are influences of Amazonian rainforest (Green-backed Trogon, Scaly-breasted Wren, Peruvian Warbling-Antbird, and Fiery-capped Manakin), the drier cerrado of Bolivia and Brazil (Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant, Little Nightjar, and Pale-breasted Thrush), and one or two elements all its own (the undescribed "Striped" Manakin). After a morning there, we savored the hummingbird smorgasbord at the Waqanki feeders, which everyone enjoyed. From this birdy valley, we headed up into the mountains to Owlet Lodge, where we managed to dodge raindrops our first day and see several nice cloud forest species before we were forced back to the lodge by a downpour. Fortunately, the feeders (serving hungry hummingbirds and Tayra) entertained us. A break in the rain in the evening permitted us to see some antpittas, among other forest species.
We spent most of the following day at Fundo Alto Nieva, where we enjoyed a different suite of hummingbirds, glimpses of the rare and very local Ochre-fronted Antpitta and Cinnamon-breasted Tody-Tyrant, and loud Scarlet-rumped Caciques and Green Jays. A brief visit to a site for Royal Sunangel was successful, as well.
The next two mornings we spent down at lower elevations in the Abra Patricia area, first around the Aguas Verdes -- where we enjoyed Lanceolated Monklet, Black-billed Treehunter, and even the rare Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher -- and then up to the famous "llanteria" (tire repair shop) near the town of Afluente -- where immense flocks with goodies such as Versicolored Barbet, Gray-mantled Wren, and Lined Antshrike, not to mention oodles of tanagers, furnariids, and tyrants, abounded. It was all we could do to pull ourselves away from the mind-reeling megaflocks and head up to have the fine lunch our crew had prepared for us! On our way back to the lodge, we stopped to enjoy Bar-winged Wood-Wren at the mirador. A second morning downslope gave us some more good lower-elevation birds, and that evening, we enjoyed some fantastic looks at one of the most-wanted birds in the region: the mythical Long-whiskered Owlet!
Our last morning's birding around Owlet Lodge was somewhat affected by rain, but it stopped early enough for us to walk trails around the lodge and to see some higher-elevation flocks before we had lunch, to enjoy Johnson's (or, as I prefer to call it, Lulu's) Tody-Flycatcher, and then to head to our lodge in Pomacochas. At the latter site, we saw birds more typical of drier montane habitats, such as Rufous-capped Antshrike, Baron's (probably soon to be lumped with Line-cheeked) Spinetail, and Golden Grosbeak. Not only that, but the odd artwork and mummy in the foyer ensured we won't forget this hotel anytime soon!
Our day at Huembo was marked by many hummingbirds, including the diminutive Little Woodstar, the rambunctious Sparkling and Green violetears (with the occasional sighting of a Brown thrown in... but don't confuse it with the strange "colorless" Sparkling that also frequented the feeders), and nice comparisons of Andean Emerald and White-bellied Hummingbird. The Marvelous Spatuletails that are normally present had decided to shun the feeders during this visit. While most folks had glimpses of a female, and a few lucky folks spied a sneaky male (missing rackets) as he hunkered in the dense bushes behind the feeders, the experience wasn't as rewarding as we'd hoped, so the following morning we asked Santos Montenegro if he'd mind taking us up to another site where we have seen male spatuletails in the past. Luckily, he agreed to go, and with some patience, we all enjoyed the spectacular plumage of male spatuletails in their natural setting (no feeders!).
After this success, we drove back towards Tarapoto, with brief stops for Mitred Parakeet and Speckle-breasted Piculet, and later at a rice field and Mauritia palm swamp in the upper Mayo valley for rails (seeing Rufous-sided Crake and Spotted Rail), Pale-eyed Blackbird, and Point-tailed Palmcreeper before lunch. Excellent!
Our final morning was spent in the very birdy Cordillera Escalera to the northeast of Tarapoto, where an avifauna quite different from that on the Abra Patricia road can be found: Koepcke's Hermit, Dotted Tanager, Carmiol's Tanager, and Black-faced Antbird, among others, punctuated the early morning. After lunch, a fairly quick stop to see Plumbeous Euphonia provided a great last bird for this tour. We can't forget, however, the Boa Constrictor and many lovely butterflies that the sharp eyes of our group found that day, too!
Pepe and I fully enjoyed the time we shared with you all, and we hope you did too! Come on back down to Peru again soon, and we'll be happy to show you more of this amazing country we love so much! Meanwhile, keep your binoculars close, and bird on!
