1 ROCKJUMPER BIRDING Green-crowned Plovercrest ( Andy Foster) BRAZIL ATLANTIC COASTAL FOREST 5 TH 12 TH OCTOBER 2018 GUIDED AND REPORT COMPILED BY ANDY FOSTER

2 DAILY ITINERARY Friday 5 th October The group arrived on various flights with the last landing just after By the minibus was loaded up at Rio s international airport and we set off for a 2.5 hour drive to our base for the week, Itororo Lodge in the Atlantic forest. We picked up a few species on the journey out of Rio including Black Vulture, Magnificent Frigatebird, Neotropic Cormorant, Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Great Egret and Western Cattle Egret. For the majority of the journey it rained relentlessly but as we came up over the mountain pass and headed closer to Nova Friburgo the weather started to improve and became much drier. We arrived at the lodge just after and were met by Rainer and his sister Bettina, our hosts for the week. We also met up with the other 2 trip participants who had arrived a day earlier at the lodge. It was surprisingly cold for this time of year with light rain on and off. The feeders were fairly busy and as we unloaded the minibus the group got tuned into the common feeder birds that included Dusky-legged Guan, Azure-shouldered Tanager, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Sayaca Tanager, Ruby-crowned Tanager, Rufous-bellied Thrush, Black-goggled Tanager, Blue Dacnis, Plain Parakeet, Burnished Buff Tanager, Magpie Tanager and our first hummingbirds of the trip that included Brazilian Ruby, White-throated Hummingbird, Violet-capped Woodnymph, Black Jacobin and Scale-throated Hermit.. not a bad start! We went straight in for lunch which was very much welcomed having all had early breakfasts! We had a short break after lunch meeting up again at to go for a short walk towards the start of the White Trail. As it was quite cold there was not a massive amount of activity but we soon started picking up a few new species including Cliff Flycatcher, White-eyed Parakeet, Serra do Mar Tyrant Manakin, Pin-tailed Manakin, Green-backed Becard, White-winged Becard, Chestnutcrowned Becard, Variable Antshrike, Ochre-rumped Antbird, White-collared Foliage Gleaner, White-shouldered Fire-eye, Planalto Tyrannulet, Swallow Tanager, Streaked Xenops, Channelbilled Toucan (a new species for the lodge grounds), Surucua Trogon, Hooded Siskin and Crested Oropendola. By it was getting much colder and all bird vocalisation had stopped so we headed back to the lodge and had tea and some freshly made cake and had a short break before meeting up again for dinner at 18.30, this was followed by our first daily checklist. Saturday 6 th October We awoke to a surprisingly clear morning considering the forecast. We all met up for breakfast at and by we were heading off on a mystery tour! In other words, we had to see what the weather was doing in other areas before deciding where to go. As we dropped down the road from the lodge it was obvious that the high altitude area was covered in thick cloud, so we decided to head down to an altitude of 550m and spend the morning birding the Cedae Trail. This trail runs through some lovely primary forest and can be very productive. Before arriving at the trail we had a brief stop to scan for Mantled Hawk on the way down the mountains, unfortunately despite a lot of scanning we failed to find one, we

3 did however get good views of a Black-tailed Tityra, Scaly-headed Parrot and a couple of very nice Channel-billed Toucans. We also made a quick stop at some local feeders and were soon getting fantastic views of Red-necked Tanager, Green-headed Tanager, Chestnut-bellied Euphonia, Green Honeycreeper, Maroon-bellied Parakeet and in some trees nearby David picked up Scaled and Olivaceous Woodcreepers. Red-necked Tanager ( Andy Foster) After 30 minutes or so at the feeders we headed off and 10 minutes later arrived at the start of the Cedae Trail. We headed off down the track and soon came across some action picking up good views of both Buff-fronted and Ochre-breasted Foliage Gleaners and a Surucua Trogon. I then used some playback for White-barred Piculet that showed well followed by a White-throated Woodcreeper, a couple of Squirrel Cuckoos and some Flame-crested Tanagers. I was using some playback for Spot-billed Toucanet when suddenly one flew in, but at the same time Jim spotted a Spot-backed Antshrike.decisions decisions, which one should we go for first?! We concentrated on the Spot-backed Antshrike that showed well and then after some further playback we had 2 male and 1 female Spot-billed Toucanet in a fruiting tree above us, seconds later a Saffron Toucanet flew into the same tree.amazing, two species of Toucanet in as many minutes! We continued on down the trail picking up great views of a male Black-cheeked Gnateater followed by a Star-throated Antwren and shortly afterwards a rather responsive Rufouscapped Antthrush and a couple of Spot-breasted Antvireos and Streak-capped Antwrens, it certainly turned out to be a very productive morning! It was now so we turned around and started heading slowly back up the trail picking up a fly over Rufous-thighed Kite, Versicoloured Emerald, Grey-hooded Attila and an Eared pygmy-tyrant. This was followed by views of a mega a pair of Frilled Coquettes! We arrived back at the minibus shortly after

4 13.00 where we found a small flock, after some playback we managed to pull in a couple of nice male Rufous-headed Tanagers followed by a Tropical Parula. Black-cheeked Gnateater ( Andy Foster) Rufous-headed Tanager ( Andy Foster)

5 We drove back up the mountains to the beginning of the Theodoro Trail where we stopped for lunch picking up a Campo Flicker along the way. The plan this afternoon was to bird the Theodoro trail, but it was starting to rain and became quite breezy so we set off to Macae de Cima instead. This was a good move as we had a largely dry afternoon and picked up a few new species including Mottle-cheeked Tyrannulet, great views of Bare-throated Bellbird and Blue Manakin. Tropical Parula ( Andy Foster) We then heard a distant Variegated Antpitta calling, after some playback it came in really close, David managed to get a view of it hopping through the undergrowth, shortly afterwards it called from further away, despite a lot of effort it refused to come any closer, hopefully we would have a chance on another day. It was now turning quite cold and activity had really dropped so we started heading back to the lodge. We arrived back at the lodge at and after some tea, coffee and cake met up again at to take a short walk to the Long-trained Nightjar spot. As we arrived I whistled in a Short-tailed Nighthawk and shortly afterwards a wonderful male Long-trained Nightjar appeared flying low over our heads, this was a fantastic end to a very productive day! We made our way slowly back to the lodge in time for a delicious dinner at followed by the daily checklist. Sunday 7 th October After a good night s rest we woke up to find the lodge shrouded in thick cloud! The feeders were quite busy and some of the group soon picked up a new bird, a Green-winged Saltator. As the weather was pretty bad we departed at and headed inland for some open country birding hoping to find an improvement in the weather. Shortly after leaving the lodge

6 I heard a Half-collared Sparrow calling by the side of the road, we stopped and using playback managed to get excellent views of this skulky little endemic together with good views of Rufous-crowned Greenlet and a Drab-breasted Bamboo Tyrant. We drove through some dry areas and also encountered quite a bit of rain on the hour long journey before we got to our first stop. Throughout the day we had several periods of light rain but also quite a few dry periods, thankfully the light rain didn t affect any of the birding and with nice cool temperatures we had birding action all day. As usual the first stop of the day was very productive producing good scope views of Bluewinged Macaw, Streamer-tailed Tyrant, Wing-banded Hornero, Rufous Hornero, Chalkbrowed Mockingbird, Campo Flicker, Yellow-bellied Eleania, Savanna Hawk and Black-capped Donacobius. Onto our second stop saw the rain increase a little but we still managed to pick up several new species including Red-rumped Cacique, Sapphire-spangled Emerald, Yellowlored Tody Flycatcher, Creamy-bellied Thrush and Ferruginous Pygmy Owl. Next up, we stopped at our only site for Serra Antwren, and after a little playback managed to get good views for the whole of the group. We also picked up really close views of a male White-barred Piculet, David spotted some Guira Cuckoos and a Slaty-breasted Wood-Rail. Streamer-tailed Tyrant ( Andy Foster) We continued on towards the small town of Duas Barras picking up Wedge-tailed Grassfinch, Grassland Sparrow, Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture and Chopi Blackbird. We stopped for some coffee and cake at Duas Barras and then continued our journey along the dirt road towards Sumidouro. We had a very productive drive along this track with several stops along the way picking up species such as Firewood Gatherer, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, Brazilian Teal, Common Thornbird, Surucua Trogon, Chestnut-capped Blackbird, Toco Toucan (although flying away distantly), Masked Water Tyrant, Blackish Rail, White-tailed Hawk, White-eared Puffbird, Curl-crested Jay, Bran-coloured Flycatcher, Orange-eyed Thornbird, Yellow-browed Tyrant, Variable Antshrike, Striped Cuckoo, Grey-eyed Greenlet and Tawny-headed Swallow.

7 We stopped to eat our packed lunches before continuing on towards Sumidouro and the Three-toed Jacamar site. On the way Jim spotted a Toco Toucan by the roadside, we stopped and had great views of 2 individuals! We arrived shortly after at the Jacamar site and had some great views of several Black-necked Aracaris followed by another Toco Toucan. After watching the Aracaris for 10 minutes we used some playback for the Jacamars, within less than a minute we had a response and had 3 come in giving some really nice views mission accomplished! White-barred Piculet ( Andy Foster) Three-toed Jacamar ( Andy Foster)

8 Having had a super days birding we started our 1.5 hour drive back towards the lodge with one more stop on the way back to get better views of White-eared Puffbird and also better views of a couple of White-eyed Parakeets, a nice way to finish the day! White-eyed Parakeet ( Andy Foster) We arrived back at the lodge just after 17.00, rewarded ourselves with tea, coffee and cake and then had a break meeting up again for dinner at followed by our daily checklist. Monday 8 th October We awoke to another morning of thick low cloud and light rain. Today we were to spend a full day birding the Itororo Lodge grounds. As we had breakfast the cloud started to lift a little and we were hopeful for at least a dry morning. We set off from the lodge around and soon came across a distantly calling Dusky-tailed Antbird. We used some playback and slowly but surely the Antbird came in giving some pretty brief but nice views. We continued on up the trail picking up a Rufous-capped Spinetail followed by a Yellow-eared Woodpecker, Pallid Spinetail, Yellow-browed Woodpecker, Brassy-breasted Tanagers at eye level and a couple of Ochre-faced Tody Flycatchers. Not a bad start to the morning! The weather slowly started to improve and we got some ok views of a Sharp-billed Treehunter followed by an Olivaceous Woodcreeper and a couple of distant Blue Manakins. As we made our way up the White trail we started using playback for Variegated Antpitta and Such s Antthrush. Both of these responded but quite some distance away. In the meantime a male Pin-tailed Manakin called close by so we headed on up the track for that. We got some brief but good views, unfortunately it didn t stick around long enough for any photos, this would be something to work on over the next few days! We got to the end of the White Trail and used some playback for White-breasted Tapaculo, after a lot of work and effort we finally managed to get views of this tough little bird! We started

9 heading back on ourselves and birded a little bit of the Blue Trail picking up Bertoni s Antbird, Chicli Spinetail and getting views of Ochre-faced Tody Flycatchers again. It was nearing lunch time so we started heading back to the lodge arriving at Black Jacobin ( Andy Foster) We had a delicious lunch followed by a short break before going out and birding the Yellow Trail at The feeders remained busy with Golden-chevroned Tanager, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Azure-shouldered Tanager, Ruby-crowned Tanager and hummingbirds including Black Jacobin, Violet-capped Woodnymph, Scale-throated Hermit, Brazilian Ruby, Whitethroated Hummingbird and Joceline managed to get an Amethyst Woodstar! Azure-shouldered Tanager ( Andy Foster)

10 After lunch some of the group picked up good views of a Mantled Hawk flying over the lodge! We set off back towards the White trail and shortly afterwards picked up 3 new birds, Roughlegged Tyrannulet, Grey-capped Tyrannulet and Swainsons Flycatcher. We arrived at the junction of the Yellow and Green Trail. We first played some Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper with unfortunately no response. Then we played some Rufous-capped Motmot and got a response instantly, after some time it flew through the forest in front of us and landed briefly, enough for Lance to get good looks. We then continued along the Green trail and onto the start of the Brown Trail. We started to hear a lek of Green-crowned Plovercrest, unfortunately it was up on top of a forested slope and we could not pick up any of these tiny hummingbirds. I then played some White-bearded Antshrike and straight away got a response. With time the female Antshrike made her way down the slope and gave rather poor views for the group, but good enough! We then went onto playing some Mouse-coloured Tapaculo, we got a response but like most of the birds today it just stayed a little too far away with only David getting views, this was followed by good views of a Uniform Finch. A Planalto Woodcreeper started to call and eventually landed in a cecropia tree above us giving good views. It was now and vocalisation in the forest had stopped so we started heading back to the lodge picking up a nice pair of White-rimmed Warblers along the way. We set off again at to look for the Long-trained Nightjar, this evening it performed well flying over our heads several times and landing 3 times just a few meters away from us..what a great bird! Long-trained Nightjar ( Andy Foster) We used playback for some owls, only getting a response from Tropical Screech Owl which stayed some distance away. A tough but surprisingly rewarding day with 30 new trip birds!

11 Tuesday 9 th October Finally we awoke to a lovely dry morning with high cloud, it looked potentially good for going up to Pico da Caledonia for some high altitude birding. We met up as usual at for breakfast and by we had departed for a 45 minute drive towards Pico da Caledonia. As we approached the mountain the cloud was still high but it had got slightly darker, however we drove up to around 1700m in altitude, parked up and started our walk towards the top at 2300m. We instantly got some good birding action with a Black and Gold Cotinga being our first new bird of the day, this was followed shortly afterwards by a Rufous-tailed Antbird and Rufous-backed Antvireo, three great Atlantic forest endemics in as many minutes! Black and Gold Cotinga ( Andy Foster) We continued on up the mountain slowly working our way up the cobbled road. Next up we came across a couple of Bay-chested Warbling Finches, Diademed Tanager, Brassy-breasted Tanagers and Yellow-legged Thrush, then suddenly Rob called out that he had a different bird..a Swallow-tailed Cotinga, fantastic! We continued along picking up good views of a pair of Serra do Mar Tyrannulets and shortly afterwards a Serra do Mar Tyrant Manakin, so far so very good! Then unfortunately the weather started to change with light rain beginning to fall. I was a little worried as we had done so well in the space of an hour it would be such a shame should the rain turn heavy and we couldn t continue birding. As the rain got heavier we all got kitted out in our wet weather gear and then suddenly it stopped and started to brighten up! All was looking good! As the weather improved I used some playback for Thickbilled Saltator and within a few minutes we were getting good views of this high altitude endemic, this was followed shortly afterwards by a pair of Shear-tailed Grey Tyrants. As the weather had improved I was keen to head on up the mountain to make the most of it and go to try and find the Grey-winged Cotinga, one of our main targets for the day. I started

12 using some playback and we got some distant responses, we quickened our pace and got up to a good view point that looks out across the canopy, I played it a couple more times and then woooosh, the Cotinga flew in towards us and perched not too far away giving some great views for around a minute, that was probably the quickest this bird had ever responded! At the same time a Blue-billed Black Tyrant was feeding in a bush just below, another new bird! Shortly afterwards we called in a very obliging Large-tailed Antshrike! Grey-winged Cotinga ( Andy Foster) Velvety-black Tyrant ( Andy Foster)

13 The day was going well as we continued on up picking up our first Plovercrest of the day followed shortly afterwards by a Velvety-black Tyrant. We arrived at the security guards hut at around 10.00, signed in and started our walk to the base of the 625 steps that would hopefully take us towards an Itatiaia Thistletail! We got up to step 77 and using some playback managed to call in a pair of Itatiaia Thisteltails that gave good views for the group. This completed our target list for the day, it was only 11.15!! Large-tailed Antshrike ( Andy Foster) Next up we used some playback in the same area for Rufous-capped Antshrike, bringing one in nice and close. What a super productive mornings birding! We started heading back down the steps getting good views of a female Velvety-black Tyrant and then slowly made our way back down the mountain. We stopped at a sheltered corner to eat our packed lunch at around 11.45, the theory being that we may get a male Plovercrest coming in to feed on the flowers close by. Whilst having lunch, Mark spotted a small hummingbird, it perched close by, it was a beautiful male Amethyst Woodstar! After lunch we walked slowly down getting some great views of a male Plovercrest and getting some nice views of another Grey-winged Cotinga followed lower down by a nice male Black and Gold Cotinga. We arrived back at the minibus around and took a short drive to another spot. Unfortunately the Red-legged Seriema didn t prove reliable today but we did get great scope views of a male Swallow-tailed Cotinga, Glittering-bellied Emerald and Scaled Woodcreeper. We started driving back towards the lodge with a stop en-route where we picked up good views of Rufous Gnateater, Whiteshouldered Fire-eye and Streaked Flycatcher. We arrived back at the lodge around and had a break prior to dinner at followed by our daily checklist what a day!

14 Amethyst Woodstar ( Andy Foster) Bay-chested Warbling Finch ( Andy Foster) Wednesday 10 th October The day started with nice clear skies and was looking good for a full day on the Macae de Cima trail that runs through good quality primary forest from 1000m 1450m in altitude. We arrived at our first stop at around There was a lot of activity this morning and we were

15 soon picking up new species including Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper and White-browed Foliage Gleaner, this was followed by much better looks at a male Chestnut-headed Tanager. We continued on up the track until our next stop, a lek for Plovercrests! We parked slightly up the road and walked down slowly to find a stunning male Plovercrest right by the side of the road, it doesn t get much better than that (see photo on cover of trip report)! Green-crowned Plovercrest ( Andy Foster) Having filled our boots with photos of this great little bird we used some playback for Hooded Berryeater, we soon had one flying around above is in the tress giving the whole group great views of this endemic cotinga. There was a distant Slaty-Bristlefront calling, it sounded a long way off but we used some playback, slowly but surely the bird came closer, it was a female Bristlefront and showed fairly well although always a little obscured. What a very productive spot that turned out to be! We walked back to the minibus and drove further along the track stopping at our next target bird spot! We used some playback for White-bearded Antshrike, within less than 30 seconds a male flew in above us giving fantastic views, what a bird! Cloud was building and it was getting warmer, I was now worried of the threat of rain so we drove to our final destination of the day and started birding our way backwards towards the main road again. As usual our final stopping point didn t disappoint with a very responsive White-bibbed Antbird coming in and giving excellent views, we also had better views of a male Pin-tailed Manakin. We went back to the minibus for lunch using playback on the way for a Grey-bellied Spinetail, this little skulker showed fairly well all things considered! After lunch and feeling re-charged we went back down to the same spot and picked up good views of a White-necked Thrush and a pair of Plain Antvireos. There was still no sign of Black-billed Scythebill although we had been playing it a fair amount during the morning.

16 Cloud was now building and getting thicker so we set off and started making our way back towards the lodge but with several stops along the way. White-bearded Antshrike ( Andy Foster) We stopped again and played for Scythebill, and thankfully got an almost instant response! After quite a bit of work we finally got good views of this amazing bird! Hangnest Tody Tyrant ( Andy Foster)

17 Next up I played for Tufted Antshrike that was calling some distance away, unfortunately this didn t come any closer, we did however pick up a pair of Yellow Tyrannulets close by. With the rain ever more threatening we continued along the track and stopped at a spot for Hangnest Tody Tyrant. After some playback we heard one calling distantly, we walked towards where it was calling from but couldn t locate it as it had stopped calling. We were just about to give up and Jim spotted it in some vegetation below us, after a little more playback it popped right up in the open giving great views. Black-billed Scythebill ( Andy Foster) It was now starting to get very dark due to the storm clouds building, so we set off back towards the minibus and drove back out to the main road. Heavy rain started to fall and then it poured down for part of the journey back to the lodge. We arrived back at and shortly afterwards it poured with rain with a good thunderstorm to clear the air. We met up for the daily checklist at followed by dinner. Thursday 11 th October As usual we met up for breakfast at and by we were all climbing aboard the minibus for our day s birding at the Regua wetlands. We arrived just before and made our way around the wetlands for the first 1.5 hours. As soon as we got out of the minibus we

18 spotted a small group of Red-legged Honeycreepers, this was followed by Rufescent Tiger Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, Wattled Jacana, Yellow-chinned Spinetail and distant flying Muscovy duck. As we continued around the second section of the wetland we came across some Silvery-flanked Antwrens, Soortetama Slaty Antshrike and Yellow-backed Tanagers followed by a beautiful male Brazilian Tanager. As we arrived at the main wetland area we spotted a Capped Heron, a couple of Boat-billed Herons amongst the Cattle Egrets followed by an Anhinga, Black-bellied Whistling Duck and Purple and Common Gallinules. It was now around as we made our way into the lowland forest to try to get some of the lowland forest endemics. Although a little slow we ended up having quite a productive morning picking up fantastic views of Rufous-capped Motmot, Eye-ringed Tody Tyrant, Longbilled Wren, Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, Unicoloured Antwren, Streaked Xenops and Whitebearded Manakin. We used some playback for Blond-crested Woodpecker and although it responded unfortunately it refused to come any closer. Rufous-capped Motmot ( Andy Foster) We found a bench to have lunch on and afterwards continued to walk along the Brown Trail. The sky was now becoming quite dark with rain threatening, we used playback in search of several species and did really quite well picking up Chestnut-backed Antshrike, Plain-winged Woodcreeper, Lesser Woodcreeper, Black-capped Foliage Gleaner, White-eyed Foliage Gleaner and Crescent-chested Puffbird. Around the rain started to fall heavily so we made a retreat and retraced our footsteps back to the minibus hoping that the weather would be good enough on the way back up the mountains to stop at some feeders, unfortunately as we drove up the mountain the weather deteriorated even more and the feeders were empty. We arrived back at the lodge around 16.30, had a break and met up for the checklist at followed by dinner at

19 Friday 12 th October The final day of the tour was upon us, time had really flown by! It was another nice dry morning so we decided to head out onto the lodge trails for a few hours to go after some of the harder species we had missed during the week, the pressure was on! Variegated Antpitta ( Andy Foster) We headed out onto the start of the White Trail and soon came across a couple of Buffbrowed Foliage Gleaners, a very good start! We continued on and came to our Variegated Antpitta spot and started using a little playback. We got a distant response from the Antpitta and also started to play a little Cryptic Antthrush at the same time, this also responded! Slowly but surely the Antpitta moved in close, as did the Antthrush, which one would get to us first?! It so happened that the Antthrush appeared first giving good views for all but 2 of the group, then the Antpitta vocalised incredibly close behind us, Rob turned around slowly and I saw his jaw drop (!), he had clearly found it! It had perched about 10 metres away up in a tree, we all turned slowly and had fantastic views of this super difficult bird! After about 5 minutes it decided to leave and we started using a little more playback for the Cryptic Antthrush for those that had missed it. Surely enough it started coming down the slope towards us giving everyone in the group some pretty good looks, mission accomplished! Very happy with ourselves we decided try again for the Pin tailed Manakin, and although it responded and came in close, it refused to come that little bit further for those long awaited views, but at least we had seen a good male Pin-tailed Manakin earlier on the Macae de Cima trail. We made our way onto the Green Trail and went to look for a few other species. On the way we used some playback for Rufous-breasted Leaftosser, thankfully two flew through, perched and gave brief but good views! Shortly afterwards we were lucky enough to call in a splendid male Giant Antshrike, again this gave some good views. It was now gone and we started

20 to head back to the lodge picking up much better views of Mouse-coloured Tapaculo on the way back.a very rewarding last mornings birding! We arrived back at the lodge around 11.00, lunch was served at and the group departed the lodge at after completing our last checklist of the tour. We had a fantastic week and were very well looked after and provided with excellent food by brother and sister team Rainer and Bettina at Itororo Lodge.
