 BIRDCHAT archives -- June 2000, week 3 (#79)
Endemic Rusty-fronted Canastero stayed close to the ground running between clumps of grasse on the hillside where Bearded Helmetcrests feed on the nicotina blooms.
We found it again on the side of the trail on the ground tossing moss-cover in search of invertebrates.
Other than the common Bar- winged Cinclodes it was the only bird we saw for the hour or so that we explored this patch of polylepis.

Key birds are White-throated Sierra Finch, Puna Tinamou, and Puna Ground Tyrant, all present in the area marked on Pearman's map adjacent to the small hills.
In the El Porvenir area we birded various lakes and roadside vegetation for Magellanic Plover and Ground Tyrants north and south of the town.
The birds were very secretive often running along the ground and disappearing under the vegetation and logs only to re appear a few metres away.

 Ecology and Conservation of Grassland Birds of the Western Hemisphere
Thus, we consider Swainson's Hawk (Buteo swainsoni), Mountain Plover (Charadrius rnontanus), and Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus) to be grassland birds, despite the fact that Swainsoh's Hawks nest in trees and that curlews often use a variety of in- tertidal habitats in the nonbreeding seasons.
In South America, taxonomic affinities be- tween high-altitude and lowland temperate birds occur in hawks (Buteo spp.), caracaras (Phal- coboenus spp.), seedsnipes (Attagis and Thino- corus spp.), doves (Metriopelia and Zenaida spp.), tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae), and seed- eaters (Emberizinae).
It is unclear whether habitat loss and degradation on the wintering grounds are primarily responsible for the population de- clines reported for many species.

By mid-day we should be on top of the mountain birding in puna grassland where Maquis Canastero, Grey-breasted Seedsnipe, White-winged Diuca Finch, Short-tailed Finch, Ground Tyrants, and Yellow-Finches are a high probability.
In the highest parts, the landscape is largely featureless yet very captivating as the dry, yellow domes of hills fade away one upon another to the distant horizon.
Throughout the day we will be looking for a number of tinamous, raptors, ground tyrants, miners, canasteros, and earthcreepers, and if the water levels are suitable we will also visit a large lake en route to La Paz.

 Tropical Birding tour report for Manu, Peru
But it wasn't just the location and the birdlist (586 species seen!) that made this a great tour; the camaraderie of the group, the excellent lodges, and the friendly and efficient ground staff all combined for an unforgettable trip.
Of course we could not ignore the nearby lek of the Andean Cock-of-the-rock, and early one morning we were treated to the fascinating mating rituals of the males on their display ground.
The beautiful grounds, delicious food, friendly staff, and of the course the sheer number and variety of birds all make this a great place to visit.

While on the ground there will be be various ground-tyrants, the Gray-breasted Seedsnipe, and the Chilean tapaculo known as the Moustached Turca.
We'll ascend a paved road high into the Andes, where we should see more turcas and tyrants, and an assortment of finches and furnarids, in addition to such targets as the Giant Hummingbird, Dusky-tailed Canastero (a Chilean endemic), and Mountain Caracara.
More condors should also be seen as we have another good day in the Andes.

 Tropical Birding Manu and Machu Picchu tour report September 2005
Black-billed Treehunter (Thripadectes melanorhynchus) - One evening Trevor and I watched one hop around on the ground in the garden of COTRL - very unusual for a bird that is typically a notorious skulker.
Peruvian Recurvebill (Simoxenops ucayalae) - A tough regional specialty, and we really nailed it this year with a prolonged view of one along the MWC Antthrush trail.
Cinereous Mourner (Laniocera hypopyrra) - We had a good scope view of one at MWC.

 WORLDTWITCH - Chile and Argentina Birding Trip Report by Jon Hornbuckle, 7 October - 26 November 2000

According to Juan-Carlos, the Huet-huet is more easily seen north of Conce, at Vilches, east of Talca, and at Los Ruiles Nature Reserve on the Constitucion road NW of Cauquenes.
The “travel lodge” near the Pta Dungeness turn-off from the main road to the border was shut but there was a restaurant at the junction.

 Classification of birds of South America Part 08
Called "Cinnamon Tyrant-Manakin" in Sibley and Monroe (1990), "Cinnamon Tyrant" in Mobley and Prum (1995) and Fitzpatrick (2004), and "Cinnamon Neopipo" in Ridgely and Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003), thus perhaps setting a new temporal record for lack of stability in an English name.
Traylor (1979, 1982) identified signatus and cabanisi as sister taxa, transferred signatus to Knipolegus, and considered them conspecific, but noted that they might also be considered separate species, as also noted by Ridgely and Tudor (1994).
Sibley and Monroe (1990) considered them conspecific and coined the name "Andean Tyrant" for the composite species, and this was followed by Ridgely and Tudor (1994) and Fitzpatrick (2004); Fjeldså and Krabbe (1990) also considered them conspecific but used "Plumbeous Tyrant," but see Ridgely and Tudor (1994) for reasons not to use that English name.
