A List of Amazonian Birds compiled by Armas Hill
Photo at right: the KING VULTURE
Cumulatively there have been 50 FONT
birding & nature tours in Brazil,
and 1,065 species of birds have
cumulatively been seen.
"Amazonian" birding in Brazil has been in the state of Amazonas (near
Manaus) and in central & northern Mato Grosso state, in the areas of "Jardim
da Amazona" ("the Garden of the Amazon"), and the Rio Cristalino
& Alta Floresta.
In Ecuador & the offshore Galapagos Islands, there have been about a dozen
FONT tours, during which, cumulatively, over a thousand bird species have been
seen.
In "Amazonian Ecuador", there have been FONT tours in the Rio Napo
Valley, and in southern Ecuador east of
Loja.
In Venezuela, there have also been about a dozen FONT tours, with approximately 675
bird species seen. "Amazonian" birding in Venezuela has mostly been in
the state of Bolivar in the southeastern part of the country.
Taxonomy is incorporated in the following list from
"The Birds of Ecuador - Status, Distribution, and
Taxonomy" by Robert S. Ridgely and Paul J. Greenfield.
And from
the 3rd edition of "The Howard & Moore Complete Checklist of
the Birds of the World".
In general, the taxonomic order is as it is in
that publication and in "Birds of the World - Recommended English
Names" by Frank Gill and Minturn Wright. Nomenclature is usually as it is
in the Gill & Wright book.
Another source, published in 2009, is "A Field Guide to the Birds of
Brazil" by Ber van Perlo. The book is available from FONT at a reduced
price, and especially so for those joining FONT tours in
Brazil.
Another fine book was published in 2007 with some superb photographs,
"Aves d Amazona" by Edson Endrigo. Species in the following list with
photos in that book are coded (aa).
Codes:
(BRe): endemic to Brazil
(BRqe): quasi (or near) endemic to Brazil
(t): a globally threatened or
rare species, designated by Birdlife International
(t1): critical
(t2):
endangered
(t3): vulnerable
(nt): a near-threatened
species globally
BR:
found
during FONT tours in Amazonian Brazil
AF: in the area of Alta Floresta
& Rio Cristalino in northern Mato Grosso
AM: in Amazonas (near Manaus)
JA: in & near the Jardin da Amazonia, "the Garden of the
Amazon" in central Mato Grosso

EC: found during FONT tours in Amazonian Ecuador (in
