This interesting little Itatiaia Spinetail was one of our rewards for visiting the peak of Nova Caledonia. It was just one of the Brazilian endemics and other special birds that we enjoyed on the tour. Photo by participant Claudi Racionero.
We started things in Rio and drove to the lovely Itororo lodge, the place we would call home for the next several days, with the knowledge that the days that preceded this tour were marked by a record amount of rainfall in the areas we visit for this tour. So, I was truly worried about the conditions in which we would be birding but we arrived with good weather and quickly fell into a totally different rhythm as we enjoyed the multitude of Hummingbirds and Tanagers that feast on the feeders right outside our lodge. Our hosts put us into our rooms and shortly after lunch we were out exploring the grounds of the lodge. Tiffany was quick to spot a Black-and-White Hawk-Eagle (the first of many great birds she would spot for us) and Michael called out a King Vulture which sent Andy running for his camera, as this was the very first sighting of this species for the lodge. The afternoon also had us looking at a Mantled Hawk, a scarce raptor that is endemic to the Atlantic Forest.
Our luck with the weather and the birds continued throughout the tour and we only missed a single afternoon due to rains which is perfectly normal; after all it's called Rainforest for a reason! The days that followed had us working on different altitudinal bands over several days, thus getting to a different set of birds each day.
From the lowlands of REGUA, where we enjoyed great looks at Chestnut-backed Antshrike, Unicolored Antwren, Blond-crested Woodpecker and many more, to the peak of Nova Caledonia, where we were treated to high altitude specialists such as Itatiaia Spinetail, Thick-billed Saltator, Black-and-gold Cotinga and passing through Macae de Cima, we enjoyed great weather, excellent birds and delicious food, turning each day into an exciting adventure.
This tour is always a treat to lead but each of you made this a particularly enjoyable year for me.
Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you all again some day.
