During my trip to Peru (where I almost got lost in the jungle trying to locate a rumoured Andean C**k-of-the-rock lek), my rambles in South-east Asia and also this last trip to Ecuador, I realised that this is more than possible because compared to the forests in these regions our European ones seem like a walk in the park.

The first shorebird arrivals are apparently birds that failed at a breeding attempt and don’t have time to re-attempt; they might as well head south early. This is by no means an exact science. Later in October, Cerulean and Blackburnian Warbler from the Eastern humid Andes of Peru began to show up in Facebook posts.

The source of this ranking, BirdLife International, lists Bolivia as currently having 1,439 bird species, including 18 breeding endemics. This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. . .”

They reach breeding maturity at four to seven years of age, produce only one chick per nesting season, and only one in three offspring survive to fledging age. Ohio has tracked two families of their state-endangered breeding sandhill cranes and found them to have wintered over in Tennessee in 2010. Lots to think about.

Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. My friend Vickie Henderson , who has some serious long-range vision, looked at the science behind Tennessee’s crane hunting proposal and found it badly wanting. There are 400 whooping cranes left in the wild, 100 of them in the eastern population.
