January 12, 2014: Arrive in Cali

We had some staggered arrivals on Day 1 of the tour which gave time for folks to settle down and

prepare for our upcoming adventure. The second group to arrive (Thomason’s and Mcneely’s) got a little bit

of luck as we spotted a Common Potoo roosting right above our van at the airport, great first bird for some

of the group! Everyone got to mingle and meet, although some of us have travelled together in the past, and

dinner at Crepes and Waffles was a great opportunity to catch up and learn about our new friends. Dinner

was spectacular, and the group enjoyed learning that Colombia Birdwatch supports this establishment as

100% of their workforce is composed single moms that are heads of the family. After a decadent dessert, we

headed to the hotel to prepare four our ascent up the western Andes for our first full day of birding.

January 13, 2014: Finca La Araucana, Bichacue Yath and Andean Cock-of-the-rock Lek

Our first full day of birding began at Finca La

Araucana, where we were met by 3 individuals of

Smoky-brown Woodpecker, American Redstart, Blue-

black Grassquit and a Squirrel Cuckoo flying around

us. The “guadua” (bamboo) greenhouses provided

an entertaining show of a family of Spectacled Par-

rotlets, and it was nice to be received by Alvaro

Calonje with some coffee and tea on the balcony.

The show started with Crimson-rumped Toucanet

and a myriad of tanagers, including Summer, Scrub,

Flame-rumped, Golden, Hepatic and Fawn-breasted.

A flowering “guayacan” tree, with its impressive yel-

low flowers, attracted Rusty Flowerpiercer and an

impressive amount of hummingbirds that included

Long-billed Starthroat, Black-throated Mango, White-

necked Jacobin, and Western and Andean Hum-

mingbirds. A very productive morning ended with a

lunch consisting of a “tamal” on the canopy terrace of

the Bichacue Yath reserve, where we were blessed

with incredible views of the endemic Colombian

Chachalaca.

The excitement in the air was felt by every-

one, and it was no secret that we were all very eager

to get to El Pato, bordering the Farallones National

Park. We arrived at Jaime Certuche’s place, where

he greeted us and shared his story with the group.

An avid hunter, Jaime changed his ways recently and

now considers himself a conservationist, caring for

an active Andean Cock-of-the-rock Lek on his prop-

Red-headed Barbet (female)

erty that he graciously allowed us to visit. A life bird

for half of the group, 6 individuals entertained us for

a few hours, making the steep but short hike worth

our while. Content, we enjoyed some organic coffee

and fried bread offered by our hosts before heading

to the hotel in Km 18 for s nice dinner and rest.

January 14, 2014: Anchicaya

The first birds of the day were Torrent Tyran-

nulet and Yellow-faced Grassquit just outside El

Queremal. As we descended the western slope of

the western Andes in the Anchicaya region, our first

stop yielded Glistening-green Tanager and excellent

views of Brown-billed Scythebill. A superb day for

hummingbirds, we were able to add Green Thorntail,

Empress Brilliant, Purple-bibbed Whitetip, Booted

Racketatil, Violet-tailed Sylph, Green-crowned Wood-

nymph, and Greenish Puffleg to the list. The group

certainly enjoyed the very handsome Ornate Fly-

catcher, and Orange-bellied Euphonia was certainly

a crowd-pleaser.

YBlue-winged Mountain-tanager

We arrived at “El Descanso” (The Rest Stop)

and met Doña Dora and her grandson Josman, a

young birder who was as excited as can be to re-

ceive his first pair of binoculars, a thoughtful gift by

Jim and Linda Thomason. A small colony of Chest-

nut-headed Oropendolas nests near the house, so

we enjoyed these before we set out on a shot walk

as the activity at the feeders was low. We enjoyed

great views of Bat Falcon, Lemon-rumped Tanager

and Silver-throated Tanager before lunch. A delecta-

ble lunch was followed by an hour of rest and before

some great afternoon birding. Most notably we saw

Red-headed Barbet, Black-billed Peppershrike, and

Rufous-throated Tanager before a light rain had us in

the van and on the way to the hotel for a nice dinner,

list-making and rest.

January 15, 2014: El 18 We started the day walking along the road

close to the Hotel where birding is very productive.

We heard many birds like the endemic Chestnut

Page 4: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

Wood-quail, Russet-crowned Warbler and others.

Suddenly the birds began to appear and we had

views of Streak-capped Treehunter, Scaly-naped

Parrot and the first view of the special and endemic

Multicolored Tanager.

Afterwards we took the road to The Raul’s

Place “the hummer’s paradise”. Just after getting

off the van we started to enjoy the plethora of hum-

mingbirds and tanagers visiting the feeders, the

experience with the hummers was very close and

the photographers were especially excited. Our trip

list began to grow; Long-tailed Sylph, Brown Viole-

tear, Buff-tailed coronet, Purple-throated Woodstart,

White-necked Jacobin, amongst other humming-

birds. Tanagers included Saffron-crowned, Golden,

Golden-naped, Black-capped, and Blue-winged

Mountain-Tanager. Of course, Red-headed Barbet

showed off for us before we began our hike along

the road from Raul’s place. The activity was hectic,

everyone commenting on what an amazing time they

were having. Some of the specialties we saw in-

cluded Yellow-vented Woodpecker, Green-and-black

Fruiteater, a very special and close view of Tawny-

bellied Hermit eating insects, and the amazing Col-

Green Thorntail Silver-throated Tanager

The crew riding the “brujitas”

lared. The highlight of the day was most definitely

views of a pair of Golden-headed Quetzal building a

nest. The female and the male gave us a solemn na-

ture show, On our way back to lunch the rare Scaled

Fruiteater made an appearance, and the group had a

very pleasant Tapaculo experience, in this case with

the near endemic Nariño Tapaculo.

After lunch we walked along the same road

seeing similar birds, adding specialties such as Ol-

ive-backed Woodcreeper, Golden-winged Manakin,

we had again another special experience with the

Quetzal and better views of the endemic and vulner-

able Multicolored Tanager. We went back to the Hotel

to have an early dinner and prepare for our early

morning departure down the western slope of the

western Andes towards San Cipriano, in the Pacific

Region.

January 16, 2014: San CiprianoThe day began very early, we left well before sunrise

to allow for travel time to San Cipriano. We defi-

nitely enjoyed the ride into town, and invention by

the locals that make great use of the railroad. The

“brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-

cycles. After the exhilarating and fun ride we crossed

the small town and began seeing birds of the Colom-

bian lowlands, including Chestnut-headed Oropen-

dola, Tawny-crested and Dusky-faced Tanagers, and

Chestnut-mandible Toucan. The day was overcast

and very dark, almost omnious. As it started to driz-

zle, we found some shelter and arrived just in time,

as an excellent mixed flock was coming through.

Special birds feeding in this flock included the near

endemic Blue-whiskered Tanager, Cinnamon Becard,

Cinnamon Woodpecker, Black-cheecked Wood-

pecker, Masked Tityra, Black-tipped Cotinga. A very

special Woodcreeper the appeared in the scene, this

one was the Black-striped Woodcreeper, a lifer for

Jose. Other birds worth mentioning include White-

tailed Trogon and Choco Toucan.

Birding along the road in the road we saw the un-

common Black-breasted Puffbird, Western-slaty Ant-

shrike, and of course we did not miss the opportunity

to see the natural swimming pools at the Escalerete

River. Finishing the morning we saw Choco Toucan

and Blue Dacnis before we had a delectable lunch

consisting of fried fish and fish sancocho. We then

drove over the Western Andes to the Cauca Valley,

and had a very pleasant dinner at the hotel in Buga.

January 17, 2014: Sonso Lagoon We arrived at sunrise at the Sonso Lagoon and were

Black-breasted Puffbird

Page 6: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

received by the spectacular Cocoi Heron, and the

sunrise was beautiful with nice birds as Yellow Oriole,

Ringed Kingfisher, and White-tailed Kite. Bob spotted

an easy bird to hear but not to see, Striped Cuckoo.

A nice Osprey then flew overhead with a big fish, and

we focused our attention on the banks of the Cauca

River. Lesser and Greater Yellow-legs, Black- bellied

Whistling-duck, Greater Ani, and Amazon Kingfisher

made an appearance. After this nice spot on the road

we headed toward the reserve entrance, but a man

riding a bicycle talked to us about a flooded corn

plantation that had just been cut, teeming with birds.

We trusted the man, our birders instinct play-

ing a bit into this, and headed towards the field.

What an amazing place to see wetland birds! We

saw Purple Gallinule, Wattled Jacana, Snail Kite, but

a surprise was waiting for all of us. We scanned the

wetland that was teeming with common birds such

as Glossy Ibis and many Great Egrets. And the sur-

prise of the day was a rare, localized and gorgeous

bird: Comb Duck. A lifer for all of us!

The rest of the morning brought many spe-

cialties of the Sonso lagoon, including Jet Antbird,

Lineated Woodpecker, Fulvous Whistling-duck,

and Limpkin. Our last stop of the morning ws at the

reserve entrance, where we saw the endemic Apical

Flycatcher, Piratic Flycatcher, closed views of Lesser

Night-hawk, and fun shows of nesting Spectacled

Parrotlet. We left Sonso Lagoon with, and on our way

out made one more stop with Dario, the ranger of the

reserve. Excellent views of Common Potoo were had

by all.

We had rest at the hotel, and time to enjoy

the swimming pool before feasting on Sancocho, a

typical lunch of the Cauca Valley Area. We headed

towards Pereira, crossing the Cauca Valley and

making our way up the central Andes. We crossed

the city and arrived at the Otun River with perfect

light to search for Torrent Duck, unsuccessfully. As

we arrived at the lodge and sunset we saw Cauca

Guan, an endemic and endangered species which

was rediscovered in 1990. We had a tasty dinner and

everyone tried the “pitaya”, a singular fruit that Scott

Page 7: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

bought to give to the group as a dessert.

January 18, 2014: Otun-Quimbaya We started the morning birding around the

lodge where we saw several species such as Flame-

rumped Tanager, Red-ruffed Fruitcrow one of our

target birds. Other good birds included Swainsons

Thrush and the uncommon Speckled-faced Parrot.

We had breakfast and went on a search for Torrent

Duck, which everyone was hoping to see. On our

way we had very good views of a single Howler Mon-

key, but our first stop at a bridge over the Otun River

was unsuccessful for the duck. We met Fraybel, who

graciously invited us into his home, and we even

got a nice concert by his son Bryan playing Andean

A Fine Group along the Otun River

music on the flute. We had some delicious organic

coffee, stopping for one more try at Torrent Duck at

a broken bridge. The space was tight, but we some-

how managed to get the entire group situated so we

all got a good luck at both the male and female. Very

content, we returned to the lodge for lunch and some

down time before afternoon birding. The afternoon

brought a few more views of Multicolored Tanager

and the highlight was most definitely a female An-

dean Cock-of-the-rock and close up views of Cauca

Guan.

January 19, 2014: Otun-Quimbaya and drive to Rio Blanco

Page 8: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

The day started having great views from the

lodge of Speckled-faced Parrot eating “aguacatillo”

fruits. We then birded a trail through the forest where

we had very nice views of Green Jay. We then took

the road to Pez Fresco and where able to get good

looks of White-naped Brush-finch, Emerald Tou-

canet, Highland Motmot, and close to the river Tor-

rent Tyrannulet and Golden-crowned Flycatcher.

We took an early lunch and headed towards

Manizales and the Rio Blanco Reserve, watching for

Torrent Duck along the Otun River. One stop along

the river yielded incredible views of 2 male Torrent

Duck (one juvenile), with an epic view of a female a

few hundred yards downstream. We said our good-

byes to Mary and Scott in Pereira and made a brief

stop at El Lago which yielded Least Grebe, and

some delicious homemade ice cream along the road

to help with the heat. In Manizales we did a short

city tour taking “the Gondola”, a type of transport of

this city where we had good views of Manizales. We

cruised the downtown area enjoying the city sights,

trying some different street food, and then made

our way up to Rio Blanco. We had “Ajiaco” for din-

ner, a typical Andean dish made with three types of

potatoes and chicken and garnished with capers and

cream. There was much excitement in the air dream-

ing about the Antpittas that were to come the next

day.

January 20, 2014: Rio Blanco Reserve The morning started of fabulously, just around

the lodge we saw one of the target birds for the trip,

the uncommon Masked Saltator provided us a show

as an individual gathered nesting material and trans-

ported it to the next. At the same time were rewarded

with views of the near endemic Rusty-faced Parrot

and the noisy Black-collared Jay. We could hardly

contain ourselves as we hiked up the hill towards the

first of 3 antpitta feeders, which proved to be quite

productive. Within a couple of hours we have had

amazingly close-up views of Brown-banded, Chest-

nut-crowned, Bicolored, Slate-headed, and Chestnut-

naped Antpittas. Another lifer for Jose, near the feed-

ers we saw White-capped Tanager, which enchanted

us with its great colors. A mixed flock quickly swept

by, affording views of species such as Black –eared

and Superciliared Hemispingus, Pearled Treerun-

ner, Golden-fronted Whitestart and Crimson-mantled

Woodpecker. The photographers in the group cer-

Torrent Duck Chestnur-crowned Antpitta

Page 9: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

tainly enjoyed Masked Trogon, and a few folks in the

group saw Undulated Antpitta crossing the wide trail.

Other birds we saw this morning included Blue-and-

black Tanager, Grass-green Tanager, and Andean

Guan.

Before lunch we tried unsuccessfully for

Blackish Tapaculo, and the enjoyed some tasty

beans for lunch and had some time for a siesta. The

afternoon was less productive than the morning; we

had great views of Blue-and-black Tanager, Emerald

Toucanet, and views of the landscape of Caldas area

around Rio Blanco Preserve.

January 21, 2014: Rio Blanco and drive to Ter-males del Otoño We devoted the morning to look for Tapaculos

and other target birds we were missing. We tried first

for Black-billed Mountain-toucan which we saw in

the morning, and had great views of this one before

noon. Birding in the forest was productive, we saw

some birds we were missing such as Ash-colored

Tapaculo, Rufous-headed Pygmy-Tyrant, Green-and-

black Fruiteater, Sickle-winged Guan, Andean Guan.

And finishing the morning we had an excellent mixed

flock where we saw Tawny-bellied Hermit, Wedge-

billed Hummingbird, Capped Conebill, Mountain

Cacique, and Black-capped Hemispingus.

After lunch we said goodbye to our splendid staff.

Albeiro and Celene, and we started walking down the

road. We then heard a loud drumming in the forest

which was the big and pretty Powerful Woodpecker,

male and female gave us a great show. We then

spotted red and yellow in the canopy and it was Red-

hooded Tanager, another target we were missing.

Bearded Helmetcrest

Page 10: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

We then had nice views of Highland Motmot, and the

amazing Golden-plumed Parakeet eating seeds in

the canopy over us was a nice way to say goodbye

to Rio Blanco.

We went to Los Termales Del Otono, the hotel

where we spent the night, and celebrated Linda’s

birthday before going to bed early to prepare for our

ascent to Los Nevados National Park.

January 22: Los Nevados National Park All of were very excited for this day, and the

amazing sunrise was a premonition of a very good

day. We started birding the lower elevations before

ascending, and saw birds such as Plumbeus Sierra-

finch and Paramo and Plain-colored Seedeaters. We

continued ascending and at the next birding stop we

saw Glossy Flowerpiercer, Golden-breasted Puffleg,

Viridian Metaltail, Scarlett-bellied Mountain-tanager,

Black-back Bush-tanager and Black-chested Buz-

zard-eagle. At he end of the road we had incredibly

close-up views of Bearded Helmetcrest, a special

hummingbird that was a target for the trip. We then

saw Tawny Antpitta a funny and friendly Antpitta. We

had “trucha” (trout) for lunch at almost 4,000 meters

with the idea to bird during our descent. This plan

proved to be quite a stellar plan, as the afternoon

yielded most of the targets we had left to see. The

fog cleared, and at Laguna Negra, a glacial lake

along the road, we saw Andean Teal, Andean-tit

Spinetail and Sedge Wren. So many highlihts dur-

ing an incredible day of birding, and the afternoon

brought more. Hard to decide what the bird of the

day was, as we saw many special birds on our last

stop, including Rainbow-bearded Thornbill, Great

Pale-naped Brush-finch

Page 11: Western and Central Andean Endemics, Cauca Valley and ...colombiabirdwatch.com/download/tours/trip-reports... · “brujitas” consist of wooden carts propelled by motor-cycles

Saphirewing, Shining Sunbeam, Blue-back Conebill

and the enigmatic, vulnerable and Endemic Rufous-

fronted Parakeet.

After an epic day of birding at high elevations, we

returned to the hotel for a nice soak in the hotsprings

and a lovely meal.

January 24: Drive to Cali We did not bird much this day as it was a trav-

el day, but we did stop for lunch near Sonso Lagoon

for a chance at Grayish Piculet, which did not appear

but we added Mouse-colored Tyrannulet to our trip

list. We arrived in Cali in time to have a few hours to

relax before going out for pizza and visiting the San

Antonio neighborhood, to the Loma de la Cruz park

to enjoy some Andean music and dancing.

January 25, 2014: Cristo Rey and Dolmetsch Ar-boretum The group had time to enjoy the morning

exploring the area near the hotel before heading up

to Cristo Rey for nice views of the city. We had the

pleasure of having Uber’s son with us, and enjoyed

the roadside art on the way up the mountain.

For lunch we met Alvaro Calonje at the Dol-

metsch Arboretum, and boy was it a nice lunch. The

wine flowed as stories were told and a healthy vari-

ety of food was enjoyed by all. The afternoon came

with a private tour of the gardens, a prefect prelude

to a farewell dinner along the Cali River.

Just saw Bearded Helmetcrest
