As his passion for birding grew he decided to travel Latin America; he has spent time in Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela and a great deal of time in Brazil. One of his most memorable birding experiences was the six months spent in Northeast Brazil performing research on a new species of bird called the Araripe Manakin.

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.

The Horned Guan is not just one of, if not THE standout birds of Mexico and Guatemala, but of the entire world. Endemic to mountaintop cloud forest patches in Chiapas and Guatemala, perhaps occurring at a maximum of six locations in Mexico and a handful more in Guatemala, the Horned Guan is restricted to a tiny, fragmented range.

Early research suggested that “Fragmented distributions and population bottlenecks due to human activities appear to have increased genetic differentiation among populations” (Leberg 1991). Which would be weird. Archaeological, zooarchaeological, and ancient DNA evidence combine to confirm the identification and context.

And so, Fuller embarked on a new initiative—locating and researching photographs of lost birds and, expanding his scope, of mammals. There is the flightless Atitlán Giant Grebe of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, whose habitat was destroyed by a combination of human incursion and earthquake, but whose DNA lives on in hybrids that fly.
