Researchers from Princeton University and the University of the South (both in the U.S.) studied how Plain-tailed Wrens and Rufous Antpittas in Ecuador reacted to audio playback of their songs versus playback of general background noise. News Bird Call Playback Ecuador Plain-tailed Wrens Rufous Antpittas'
But first, not thinking of proper research, I made no difference between questions, nor were the mentioned destinations really visited or only dreamed about. Ecuador or Botswana, respectively). 17%: Ecuador, Peru. 17%: Ecuador, Peru. Or the lack of some expected answers. Galapagos or the Okavango Delta). 21%: Costa Rica.
Currently endemic to a single valley system in the Andes of Ecuador, this species escaped detection from researchers for thirty years until the rediscovery of a few pairs in November 1998 by Dr. Neils Krabbe. In November 2010, I backpacked for fifty days via the reasonably good bus system in Ecuador.
the Caribbean islands, and Ecuador and Peru. The researchers theorize that these birds might not be strays from the Scandinavian Phalarope population, but instead perhaps originally from North America. Along the wayward route, the Phalarope made stops in Iceland, Greenland, the continental U.S.,
On a recent filming trip with Tropical Birding in Ecuador I had the awesome experience of getting up close and personal with two bizarre manakin species. This bird is a Choco endemic found only in northwest Ecuador and southwest Colombia. What’s the deal with manakins? Are they for real? Take the Club-winged Manakin for example.
Planning for such a whirlwind tour became a monstrous research task. I used my Garmin Etrex 20 before for recording tracks and points in Ecuador but I did not have a map loaded for Ecuador since Garmin does not have one! There are more advanced models but I am not sure of their benefits; more research needed for my next trip.
Faaborg was the first in a line of ornithologists who have graciously responded to my emails about their research, in that case leading to a short article on declines of Puerto Rican migratory birds.). Loiselle presented about long-term studies in Ecuador, where there has also been a broad and significant decline in bird populations.
Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. A Guan was collected in 1876 in a mangrove forest near the border between Peru and Ecuador. Some of these specimens had labels with basic information and were stored for further work at a later time.
With that in mind, Ernesto and fellow researchers are working on figuring out which plant species might be most important for Ceruleans and other migrants so areas in and near Las Brisas can be more efficiently recuperated and restored. — Feature image of Cerulean Warbler and researchers at Las Brisas Reserve by Paz Irola.
On our lowland birdwatching trip we visited Rio Canande Reserve , Botrosa Road and then we also visited the nearby reserve of Mache Chindul; specifically we went to Bilsa Research Station of Jatunsacha Fundation. Although we did not hear or see this bird we saw many other great birds that live in this marvelous reserve.
Bird species that require further research. The same can be said about the population in Colombia and Ecuador so this could end up being a future, three-way split. Those Pacific slope birds sound more like the Streak-chested Antpittas from the Canal Zone in Panama south to northwestern Ecuador.
Like a shy stepchild, it’s always eclipsed by the wonders of Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. Argentinian Julián Quillén Vidoz, is both a co-author and an illustrator of Birds of Bolivia , and is apparently one of those multi-talented birders, with research (in Bolivia), guiding, and illustration on his resume.

A little online research into some of these topics, however–like Elizabeth Gould, an extremely talented woman who illustrated her husband’s bird treatises and who despaired of his collecting habit–and I realize that Dunn was probably exercising a lot of restraint. Is all that material on Selkirk needed?
I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? Ecuador (1590 / 1641). Uganda (987 / 1083). Kenya (1034 / 1153). South Africa (755 / 842).
In 2009, I traveled from New York City to the tropical rainforest of Ecuador. For some of us, like that version of myself that traveled to Ecuador eight years ago, the Neotropics are simply a place to visit. It was my first trip to the Neotropics, and I had no idea what I was getting into.
At least in the northeastern United States, their rate of so doing is high, according to research I summarized here. Do the same pairs return, if possible, to the same nests after their long winter migration? When I put my binoculars to my eyes I was very pleased to see the brown ball resolve into an American Dipper !
Who can forget Mike and Corey’s stories about Maria, the Giant Antpitta at Refugio Paz de Las Aves, Ecuador, or James Currie ‘s quest to see the Scaled Antpitta at Tandayapa Lodge? Many of these accounts include unpublished information from Greeney’s own research.
