113/G113) Blue-Headed Parrot (Pionus menstruus) / Schwarzohrpapagei

 

Atta. A widespread Parrot.

 

[michael-ibk]

114/G114) Fasciated Antshrike (Cymbilaimus lineatus) / Zebraameisenwürger

 

Atta. Well, there´s a limit to the magic of PP - this one was sitting in very deep shadows. Antshrikes are never easy.

 

[michael-ibk]

115/G115) Guianan Streaked Antwren (Myrmotherula surinamensis) / Guyana-Strichelameisenschlüpfer

 

Atta. Tiny bird of riverside vine tangles and seasonally flooded forest. This is the female.

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

116/G116) Plain-Brown Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa) / Grauwangen-Baumsteiger

 

Atta. One of the more common Woodcreepers, have seen this one both in Costa Rica and Ecuador.

117/G117) McConnel´s Flycatcher (Mionectes macconnelli) / Schwarzschnabel-Pipratyrann

 

Atta. Two disjunct populations for this species, one more or less in the Guyanas, one in Peru and Boliva on the Eastern slopes of the Andes.

118/G118) Yellow-Crowned Elaenia (Myiopagis flavivertex) / Goldscheitel-Olivtyrann

 

Atta. Time for a proper ebc!

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

119/G119) Coraya Wren (Pheugopedius coraya) / Corayazaunkönig

 

Atta. Pairs skulk in dense vegetation and are heard more often than seen.

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

120/G120) Black-Faced Dacnis (Dacnis lineata) / Maskenpitpit

 

Atta. Continuing Michael´s popular "ebcs of the rainforest" theme. Took me a while to figure this one out (saw it during lunchbreakt) - it´s a female.

 

[Dave Williams]

Some lovely birds and a stand out Owl!

[michael-ibk]

121/121) Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) / Harpiye

 

Atta. The last Atta bird. Even though it was incredibly far away still one of my top sightings of the trip.

Failed. You can see all of the bird and it is almost in focus.

A great collection nevertheless. I had a distinct sense of deja vu until I realised this was BY and not your trip report.

[PeterHG]

A Harpy Eagle, that is something else...!!

[xelas]

One more set of colorful birds, but Harpy Eagle is The King!

your attempt at this "EBC" failed miserably. 

[Kitsafari]

woohoooo Harpy!!

[michael-ibk]

Thanks @Galana, @PeterHG, @xelas, and @Kitsafari!

 

122/G122.) White-Tipped Dove (Leptotila verreauxi) / Blauringtaube

 

Rock View Lodge. I will never warm to Doves and Pigeons, at least most of them, but this one posed quite nicely.

 

[michael-ibk]

123/G123) Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) / Bronzekiebitz

 

Rock View. The classic South-American Lapwing.

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

124/G124) Crimson-Crested Woodpecker (Campephilus melanoleucos) / Schwarzkehlspecht

 

Rock View. A new "Woody Woodpecker" type for me - I really like all the Red-Headed ones.

 

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

125/G125) Lineated Woodpecker (Dryocopus lineatus ) / Linienspecht

 

Rock View. The close cousin. Several sightings. Seen before in Costa Rica.

 

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

126/G126) Tropical Kingbird (Tyrannus melancholicus) / Trauerkönigstyrann

 

Rock View. This and the Great Kiskadee are probably the two birds impossible to not see in South America. Common and conspicuous.

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

127/G127) Southern Rough-Winged Swallow (Stelgidopteryx ruficollis ) / Zimtkehlschwalbe

 

Rock View. An easy one normally but this distant view was all I got in Guyana.

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

128/G128) Orange-Backed Troupial (Icterus croconotus) / Orangerückentrupial

 

Rock View. In the lodge garden. Very attractive bird, I was happy to get it.

 

[michael-ibk]

129/G129) Burnished-Buff Tanager (Stilpnia cayana) / Isabelltangare

 

Rock View. Lifer. A common tanager of savannas, forest borders, woodlands, and gardens.

 

 

 

 

[michael-ibk]

130/G130) Ruddy-Breasted Seedeater (Sporophila minuta) / Zwertspelzer

 

Rock View. Seen before in Costa Rica.

 

[michael-ibk]

131/G131) Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) / Jabirustorch

 

Rock View. One of South America´s iconic birds. A really huge species. Apart from a distant sighting later in Karanambu the only sighting.
