I thought I would talk about our team’s performance in the World Birding Rally Challenge in Northern Peru and the side attractions along the route. Hugh made things easier on me, as now I will only talk about other nature and cultural sites along the route covered in the Northern Peru World Birding Rally Challenge.

The newest location to habituate rare antpittas to hand feeding is the Owlet Lodge in Peru’s Abra Patricia-Alto Nieva Private Conservation Area. The results are so spectacular that it should come as no surprise that this practice has spread. If you’re looking for Undulated Antpitta , pack your bags!

Hugh, who years ago helped me find my first Pauraque in the Rio Grande Valley , visited Peru as part of the 2014 World Birding Rally, where he stopped thinking of himself as an experienced birder. Come to Peru, they said. There’s this World Birding Rally that’s going to blast across 1,500 kilometers of northern Peru.

Whilst Guyana doesn’t boast the number of species of larger countries like Peru, Brazil and Colombia, one needs to consider the size difference between these countries. Peru, with a few less bird species than Colombia, is 6 times larger than Guyana. Peru, with a few less bird species than Colombia, is 6 times larger than Guyana.

I am familiar with the shorebird banding program in Peru, as the programs is run by CORBIDI, a small non-government organization (NGO) dedicated to the study and conservation of birds, other wildlife, and their habitats. If you see a shorebird with a yellow flag you will know it was banded in Peru.

This gull inhabits the high Andean plateau of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina at elevations ranging from 3300 to 4400 m (10827 to 14436 feet). I guess, the black hood on the latter species, and the fact that both winter in Peru led me to associate them as relatives. It normally lives as far from the sea as can be.

Scientists who attached tracking devices to 10 of the birds in 2012 were shocked to discover that one had flown west across the Atlantic Ocean, and eventually settled down on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in South America. It then reversed this migration, logging roughly 16,000 miles in total.

The new birds inhabit the southern portion of the Amazon, some only in Brazil but others in Bolivia and Peru as well. The ornithologists considered plumage, voice, and genetics in making their determinations; birds had to differ from known species in in at least two of those qualities to be considered new. Of the bunch, 14 are passerines.
