Ticking Cuban Warblers for me: Clean up Caribbeans, clean up Neotropics, clean up non-monotype. The 2 members of Cuban Warblers have different distributions. Yellow-headed Warbler can be seen on the west third of Cuba, while Oriente Warbler seen on the north beach from the mid-third and to the east. Both responsive for playback and easy to be found. Our trip included all endemics and a few near-endemics.

# World Bird Families

Posted on March, 2022January, 2024

The Tiniest Territory for Endemic Bird Family

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 235/250

94%

One of the easiest ticks during Puerto Rico endemics cleanup is the monotype family of Puerto Rican Tanager. This species is common on mid and high elevation. Most of our trip was on the south-west corner of the island, and it was seen many times around Maricao and road 120. Other important endemics to be mentioned: Critically endangered Puerto Rican Parrot and endangered Puerto Rican Nightjar, Yellow-shouldered Blackbird and Elfin Wood Warbler. Puerto Rico is also a good place for 2 other Caribbean endemic families: Todies (Todidae) and Spindalises (Spindalidae) (near endemic).

Posted on July, 2019January, 2024

Cleanup South America! (in deep mud)

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 232/250

93%

Ecuador represents a variety of Neotropical habitats which allows birder to tick many Neotropical bird families. From the Choco on the western Andean slope, via chilly Paramo on Andean mountain with picks over 4000 m altitude, down to the humid hot mighty Amazon plains. Smaller in size relatively to other south American nations, distances between these various birding hotspots can be shorter, although can turn instantly into unreachable due heavy rains or other nature forces. Mindo area: I ticked the Oilbird in Cueva de los Tayos (on private property, coordination with the owner required) , and Red-headed Barbet as well as other American Barbets on few bird feeders around. On the way to Coca and the jungle, got my first Hoatzin.

229. Family #25: Oilbird (Steatornithidae) | Oilbird

230. Family #98: New World Barbets (Capitonidae) | Red-headed Barbet (female)

231. Family #30: Hoatzin (Opisthocomidae) | Hoatzin

The main effort was on the muddy trails of the Amazon rain forest around Sani Lodge for the Gray-winged Trumpeter.

232. Family #35: Trumpeters (Psophiidae) | Gray-winged Trumpeter

Other families to be mentioned: Toucan-Barbet around Mindo, to complete this family ticked a few days earlier in Panama. Around Sani Lodge – Sunbittern and Potoos (Common Potoo).

is it a Wren? is it a Thrush? is it a Tanager? it's Wrenthrush & Thrush-tanager!

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 228/250

91%

Bird families lister must stop either in Panama or Costa Rica for the monotype Talamanca mountain range endemic family of Wrenthrush. Other families ticked on this milestone can be found in other northern Neotropic countries. On the west leg of my trip in Volcán Barú, I ticked Wrenthrush and Prong-billed Barbet (Toucan-Barbet family).

225. Family #243: Wrenthrush (Zeledoniidae) | Wrenthrush

226. Family #99: Toucan-Barbets (Semnornithidae) | Prong-billed Barbet

Central Panama leg contributed two more monotype families: Sapayoa at Nusagandi and Rosy Thrush-Tanager at Metropolitan Natural Park, Panama City.

Mitrospingid Tanagers family can be mentioned in the area as well with Dusky-faced Tanager.

227. Family #112: Sapayoa (Sapayoidae) | Sapayoa

228. Family #236: Thrush-Tanager (Rhodinocichlidae) | Rosy Thrush-Tanager

milestone 29 | Argentina 2017 | families 216-217/250

Posted on December, 2017January, 2024

Wader families of the south of south

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 217/250

87%

Patagonia, the south end of both Argentina and Chile, serves as a preferred location for these two wader families. I choose Argentina particle reasons. Reserva Laguna Nimez at El Calafate was the spot for Magellanic Plover.

216. Family #38: Magellanic Plover (Pluvianellidae) | Magellanic Plover

Snowy Sheathbill found in a few locations, on shore cliffs near Puerto Madryn and on Valdes Peninsula, always in South American Sea Lion colonies.

217. Family #37: Sheathbills (Chionidae) | Snowy Sheathbill

Two ancient families to be mentioned: Rheas – Lesser Rhea seen in many places while driving Patagonia. Tinamous – Elegant Crested-Tinamou is an exceptional member of this enigmatic family. While in most Neotropical habitats Tinamous are mainly heard and hardly seen, this member behaves more like a partridge on exposed grassland areas.

# World Bird Families

milestone 26 | Dominican Republic 2017 | families 209-213/250

Posted on April, 2017January, 2024

Essential stop for Caribbean families: Hispaniola

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 213/250

85%

Hispaniola of the Greater Antilles is the best Caribbean destination for bird families. Two countries share this Island, and birding in Dominican Republic seems easier than in Haiti. Three endemic families: Palmchat monotype and Dominican Republic national bird, which is everywhere on the island, Hispaniolan Tanagers and Chat-Tanagers. Zapoten reserve on the west border of DR (Parque Nacional Sierra De Baoruco) is the best place for the more hard-to-get endemics. Out of 4 Hispaniolan Tanagers I got Black-crowned Palm-Tanager already in Santo Domingo Botanical Gardens, White-winged Warbler and Green-tailed Warbler in Zapoten. Western Chat-Tanager in Zapoten.

The two other families ticked on that trip, also in Zapoten, are Greater Antilles endemic families: Todies (out of 5 species 2 are in Hispaiola: Narrow-billed Tody & Broad-billed Tody) and Spindalises (Hispaniolan Spindalis).

Another family to be mentioned: Tropicbirds – White-tailed Tropicbird at Santo Domingo east beach.

209. Family #88: Todies (Todidae) | Narrow-billed Tody

210. Family #217: Palmchat (Dulidae) | Palmchat

211. Family #239: Chat-Tanagers (Calyptophilidae) | Western Chat-Tanager

Ticking families at the samba rithem

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 197/250

79%

Two Brazilian states visited on this milestone: Mato Grosso & Sao Paulo.

Families ticked at Mato Grosso: On the Cerrado, just before entering Pantanal – Rheas (Greater Rhea). This was also a good place for improve “seen already family” Seriemas (Red-legged Seriema). On the Pantanal (on the photo above) we got Screamers (Southern Screamer), Potoos (Great Potoo) and the monotype Sunbittern. Serra de Harares contributed Motmots (Amazonian Motmot) and after years of heard only members, I’ve got my first seen species of Tinamous – Small-billed Tinamou near Chapada dos Guimaraes.

189. Family #2: Rheas (Rheidae) | Greater Rhea

190. Family #3: Tinamous (Tinamidae) | Small-billed Tinamou

191. Family #6: Screamers (Anhimidae) | Southern Screamer

192. Family #24: Potoos (Nyctibiidae) | Great Potoo

193. Family #57: Sunbittern (Eurypygidae) | Sunbittern

194. Family #89: Motmots (Momotidae) | Amazonian Motmot

At Sao Paulo state we visited Intervales State Park which changed the status of another family from ‘heard only’ to ‘seen’ – Antpittas (Variegated Antpitta). Other new families there: Sharpbill, Royal Flycatcher, and Allies (Sharpbill) and Mitrospingid Tanagers (Olive-green Tanager).

195. Family #118: Antpittas (Grallariidae) | Chestnut-crowned Antpitta (photographed in Ecuador, Variegated Antpitta ticked in Brazil)

196. Family #125: Sharpbill, Royal Flycatcher, and Allies (Oxyruncidae) | Sharpbill

197. Family #248: Mitrospingid Tanagers (Mitrospingidae) | Olive-green Tanager
