ITINERARY
May 2nd: Early pick up from Cusco airport and then started birding at the Piuray Lake and after lunch we went to Ollantaytambo. Overnight in Pakaritampu Hotel.
May 3rd: After an early breakfast we were birding at the garden of Pakaritampu Hotel, then we took the train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu town. Arriving there we went up with the bus to visit one of the "New" Seven Wonders of the World which is the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. After a three-hour tour watching and getting to know about the Inca culture with our expert local guide Vilma Zúñiga, we continued birding around the archaeological site of Machu Picchu. We had our buffet lunch at the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, later on in the afternoon we took the bus to return to Machu Picchu Town. Overnight in El MaPi Hotel.
May 4th: Early breakfast at El MaPi Hotel and began the birding along the Hermanos Ayar Avenue in Mandor. Lunch at El Indio Feliz, excellent food! and then ready to take our train to travel back to Ollantaytambo. Overnight at Pakaritampu Hotel.
May 5th: Breakfast. Birding around the Pakaritampu Hotel garden to get some new birds for the tour, then took our private van to go to Malaga Pass (4300m). Hiked up a slope on the ACP Abra Málaga Thastayoc Royal Cinclodes (west side of Malaga Pass) to get to a Polylepis woodland forest and watched some endemics, then we took the van and went further down but on the east side of the Malaga Pass to go to ACP San Luis where we got to see the Inca Wren, one of the most wanted endemics in the Cusco area, very good views! Late in the afternoon we took a long drive in our private van to go back to Cusco city. Overnight at Casa Andina Cusco Plaza.
May 6th: Morning drive from Cusco city to Paucartambo Town with a few birding stops on the way. Arriving to Paucartambo we birded from the colonial bridge and also we had a short visit to the local church and a small folk museum dedicated to the Virgen del Carmen, a big and important festivity in Cusco and all over Peru. We took our private transportation to go up to the Acjanaco Pass (3400m) and had a short time birding here due to weather conditions. We then went lower in elevation from there and had our picnic lunch stop at 2800m at the Pillahuata Tunnels, where it was also a good place to continue birding and the place where we got our binos on the “Marcapata Spinetail” another peruvian endemic. We went through the tunnel and stopped in different birding hotspots before we got to the Andean Cock-of-the-rock Lek where we had a great time watching eight individuals calling and displaying. We had this amazing show from a platform, but the show was not over yet, because later on in the afternoon we reversed course to go up to the Mirador (1700-1800m) and waited there for another great bird to appear. We had success as we saw the Lyre-tailed Nightjar. We took the car to go to our lodge. Overnight at Cock-of-the-rock Lodge.
May 7th: We spent part of the early morning birding the garden of the Cock-of-the-rock Lodge, where there are a good number of hummingbird feeders and a tanager feeding station, it was very productive, then after breakfast we had everything ready to continue going down on the Manu Road. We had several birding stops on our way to Atalaya boat port, once we arrived there we took a comfortable motorized boat down the Upper Madre de Dios River to our next lodge. We were welcomed with a delicious refreshment and instantly we were overwhelmed by the activity of hummingbirds at the garden of the lodge, we had a great time birding from the porch the bird activity was great at that time. Overnight at Amazonia Lodge.
May 8th: Full day birding at the Amazonia Lodge, we used the trail system, we even went to a small lake close to the lodge where there were lots of Hoatzins, these prehistoric-like birds are amazing. More birding from the porch and nearby. Overnight at Amazonia Lodge.
May 9th: Some more birding after breakfast, we had the Rufous-crested Coquette every day and on this day too. We had our luggage taken to the boat port of the lodge and so we just got there and took the boat down the Upper Madre de Dios River for about seven hours. We stopped for some good birds along the river and also to have our box-lunch. By three o’clock in the afternoon we arrived at Manu Wildlife Center, after we got installed in our rooms we were birding nearby. Overnight at Manu Wildlife Center.
May 10th: We took an early twenty-minute boat ride to the Macaw Blanquillo Claylick, arriving there we had breakfast that we took with us, and spent the whole day birding from the hide, the macaws in this particular day came late so we waited and were lucky to see them go down on the clay wall, we were very happy to see that event and also that we reported a great number of about 70 birds species just from the hide. So happy but hungry we took the boat back to the lodge to have a great and delicious lunch. In the afternoon later after lunch we were birding through some trails also not far from the lodge.
May 11th: Full day birding at Manu Wildlife Center.
May 12th: Full day birding at Manu Wildlife Center.
May 13th: GBD is today! (Global Big Day). We birded the trails of the lodge and Cocha Blanco.
May 14th: Early boat depart. Manu Wildlife Center to Puerto Maldonado. We went down the Madre de Dios River (birding on the way) for three hours approximately but just twenty minutes before we arrived at Colorado port we were so lucky to see a Jaguar sitting on the river bank, we couldn ́t believe it! I took some digiscoping pictures, it was great looks at it for about 10 minutes. Arriving at the Colorado Port we were still shocked about the fact that we saw a Jaguar, we said good-bye to our excellent boat crew members. We took a one-hour car drive to Puerto Carlos, where we took again another boat to go across the Inambari river, on the other side of the river we had our private transport waiting for us, we had a three-hour van drive to Puerto Maldonado. We had lunch and had a break at our comfortable hotel. Overnight at Cabaña Quinta.
May 15th: Breakfast at the hotel, and began the birding in Puerto Maldonado hotspots. Pastora and Cachuela. We had a quick visit to the local market where we bought Brazil nuts and after that we went to the Puerto Maldonado airport to fly back to Cusco.

Muscovy Duck - Cairina moschata. 10 Seen along the Madre de Dios River, when sailing between the Manu Wildlife Center and Colorado Port.
Torrent Duck - Merganetta armata. 1 Seen in Machupicchu Town on the Hermanos Ayar Avenue. How on earth does this species cope “acoustically” by living in such torrential waters? Gr. Mergus= a merganser, and netta=a duck. armata: L.armed, armoured, in reference to the carpal spurs in Torrent Ducks.
Cinnamon Teal - Anas cyanoptera. 3 Seen at Piuray Lake.
Yellow-billed Pintail -Anas georgica. 4 Seen at Piuray Lake.
Puna Teal - Anas puna. 2 Seen at Piuray Lake.
Yellow-billed Teal - Anas flavirostris. Common. Seen at Piuray Lake. The SACC says “Hellmayr & Conover (1948a) and many earlier classifications treated andium (Andean Teal) as a separate species from A. flavirostris. Many authors, from Meyer de Schauensee (1970) to Dickinson (2003), have treated andium as a subspecies of A. flavirostris. Anas andium was considered a separate species from Anas flavirostris by Ridgely et al. (2001), and this was followed by Hilty (2003). SACC proposal passed to recognize andium as separate species. Jaramillo (2003) further suggested that the subspecies oxyptera may also deserve recognition as a separate species from A. flavirostris.
Ruddy Duck (Andean Duck) - Oxyura jamaicensis (O. ferruginea). 10 Seen at Piuray Lake. Andean populations have often (e.g., Hellmayr & Conover 1948a, Siegfried 1976, Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, AOU 1998, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001, Jaramillo 2003, del Hoyo & Collar 2014) been treated as a separate species, O. ferruginea ("Andean Duck" or "Andean Ruddy-Duck"). However, see Adams and Slavid (1984), Fjeldså (1986), McCracken & Sorenson (2005), and Donegan et al. (2015) for rationale for treating them as conspecific, as done previously (e.g., Blake 1977, Johnsgard 1979), and then followed by Fjeldså & Krabbe (1990), Carboneras (1992f), and Dickinson & Remsen (2013). Siegfried (1976) and Livezey (1995) considered ferruginea to be more closely related to O. vittata than to O.jamaicensis, but McCracken & Sorenson (2005) showed that this is incorrect.
GUANS, CHACHALACAS, AND CURASSOWS
Speckled Chachalaca - Ortalis guttata. Common. Seen at Cock-of-the-rock Lodge, Amazonia Lodge and Manu Wildlife Center.

Variable Hawk - Geranoaetus polyosoma. 1 Seen on the Manu Road, at Acjanaco Pass. Farquhar (1988) concluded that Buteo poecilochrous and B. polyosoma are conspecific, as they were formerly treated (REF); he was unable to find any way to reliably diagnose the two forms using plumage characters or measurements. Ridgely & Greenfield (2001), Jaramillo (2003), and Schulenberg et al. (2007) followed this treatment and suggested "Variable Hawk" be retained for the composite species. Genetic data (Riesing et al. 2003) are consistent with hypothesis that B. polyosoma and B. poecilochrous are conspecific. [incorp. Cabot & De Vries 2003, Vaurie 1962]. SACC proposal passed to treat as conspecific. Cabot & de Vries (2003, 2004, 2010) presented additional data that support their recognition as separate species. SACC proposal to re-elevate poecilochrous to species rank did not pass.
Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle- Geranoaetus melanoleucus. 1 Seen at Piuray Lake.
RAILS, GALLINULES, AND COOTS
(Grey-necked) Gray-cowled Wood-Rail - Aramides cajaneus. 3 Seen at Amazonia Lodge and heard at Manu Wildlife Center.

Purple Gallinule - Porphyrio martinicus. 1 Seen at Cocha Blanco.
Azure Gallinule - Porphyrio flavirostris. 1 Seen at Cocha Blanco. Sure is azure!
Common Gallinule - Gallinula galeata. 5 Seen at Piuray Lake. Note that the New World form has been split from the Common Moorhen of Eurasia. Common Gallinule of Western Hemisphere is split from Common Moorhen on the basis of morphological, genetic, and vocal differences (Groenenberg et al 2008).
Slate-colored Coot (Andean Coot) - Fulica ardesiaca. Common. Seen at Piuray Lake. Called "Andean Coot" in Fjeldså & Krabbe (1990), Taylor (1996 and Ridgely et al. (2001) but other authors use Slate-colored Coot.
LIMPKIN
Limpkin - Aramus guarauna. 3 Seen at Cocha Blanco and in Puerto Maldonado.
STILTS
Black-necked Stilt (White-backed Stilt) - Himantopus mexicanus (H. melanurus). 2 Seen at Piuray Lake. The SACC says: Himantopus mexicanus was formerly (e.g., Peters 1934, Pinto 1938, Hellmayr & Conover 1948b, Phelps & Phelps 1958a, Vaurie 1965c, Meyer de Schauensee 1970, Blake 1977, Haverschmidt & Mees 1994) considered a subspecies of Old World H. himantopus ("Common Stilt") and was so treated by Dickinson (2003). Many authors continue to treat them as conspecific, e.g., Pierce (1996), Christidis & Boles (2008), and Dickinson & Remsen (2013). Some authors have treated southern South American melanurus as a separate species (e.g., Sibley & Monroe 1990, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001). The six taxa in the genus Himantopus form a near-globally distributed superspecies (Mayr & Short 1970, Sibley & Monroe 1990, Pierce 1996), and with from one to six species-level taxa recognized by various authors. Virtually no data are available relevant to taxon-ranking of allopatric populations. The contact between mexicanus and melanurus in South America, where at least some hybridization occurs, affords one of the best opportunities for such study. Dickinson & Remsen (2013) and del Hoyo & Collar (2014) treated all New World taxa as subspecies of a broadly distributed species, H. himantopus (as “Black-
winged Stilt”). SACC proposal needed.

Elegant Woodcreeper - Xiphorhynchus elegans. Seen at Manu Wildlife Center. We saw the jurua subspecies. Note that Zimmer (1934d), Pinto (1937), Ridgely & Tudor (1994), and Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) considered Xiphorhynchus elegans and X. spixii (Spix’s Woodcreeper) conspecific, but see Haffer (1997) for rationale for treating them as separate species, as in Peters (1951) and Meyer de Schauensee (1970). Aleixo (2002) also found molecular support for treating nominate spixii as a separate species from all other taxa in the group. Cory & Hellmayr (1925) treated the subspecies juruanus and insignis as separate species from X. spixii (Jurua Woodcreeper), and Pinto (1947) also maintained juruanus as a separate species; but they were considered conspecific by Zimmer (1934d) and Peters (1951).

Straight-billed Woodcreeper - Dendroplex picus. Seen in Puerto Maldonado.
Inambari Woodcreeper - Lepidocolaptes fatimalimae. Seen at Manu Wildlife Center. SACC says The Amazonian fuscicapillus subspecies group (with madeirae and layardi) was formerly (e.g., Cory & Hellmayr 1925) treated as a separate species from Lepidocolaptes albolineatus –Lineated Woodcreeper but recent authors have followed Zimmer (1934c) in treating them as conspecific; Hilty (2003) suspected that this treatment will be shown to be correct, and Marantz et al. (2003) suspected that more than one species was involved. Rodrigues et al. (2013) treated all diagnosable taxa in the complex as separate species; they also described a new species, Lepidocolaptes fatimalimae, from southwestern Amazonia. SACC proposal passed to recognize fatimalimae as a species and also elevate subspecies layardi and fuscicapillus to species rank. So there are now 5 species.

Wren-like Rushbird - Phleocryptes melanops. Seen at Piuray Lake.
Cream-winged Cinclodes - Cinclodes albiventris. Seen in ACP Abra Málaga Thastayoc Royal Cinclodes. Jaramillo (2003) suggested that the albiventris group might warrant recognition as a separate species from Cinclodes fuscus. Unfortunately, Chesser's (2004a) sampling did not include populations of C. fuscus from the Andes north of Argentina. Sanín et al. (2009) sampled C. fuscus from throughout its range and found that it was polyphyletic, with various populations more closely related to C. olrogi, C. oustaleti, C. comechingonus, and C. antarcticus. SACC proposal passed to elevate the albiventris and albidiventris groups to species rank. Derryberry et al. (2011) also corroborated this treatment. As for English names, Jaramillo (2003) proposed Cream-winged Cinclodes for C. albiventris and Buff-winged Cinclodes for C. fuscus, and Jaramillo (see proposal 415) proposed Chestnut-winged Cinclodes for C. albidiventris; these are used here tentatively until formal SACC action. SACC proposal needed.

Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant (Maroon-belted Chat-Tyrant) - Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris (O. thoracica). Heard only, on the Manu Road at Pillahuata Tunnels (2600-2800m). Garcia-Moreno et al. (1998) suggested that the plumage and genetic differences between subspecies groups north and south of the Maranon should be recognized at the species level, with Ochthoeca thoracica the name for the southern species. Ridgely & Tudor (1994) reported that there are also vocal differences that would support this split. Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003) further recognized Venezuelan nigrita as a separate species from O. cinnamomeiventris, as done by Cory & Hellmayr (1927); see Zimmer (1937b) for the rationale for treating them all as conspecific based on plumage pattern, the treatment followed by Fitzpatrick (2004). Proposal needed.

Buff-throated Saltator - Saltator maximus. Seen at Amazonia Lodge and Manu Wildlife Center. Klicka et al. (2007) found strong genetic support for a sister relationship between Saltator and core Thraupidae. Sushkin (1924) proposed that Saltator was thraupine, not emberizine/cardinaline. SACC proposal passed to transfer Saltator from Cardinalidae to Incertae Sedis. SACC proposal to transfer to Thraupidae did not pass. Barker et al. (2013) found that Saltator and Saltatricula were embedded in the Thraupidae. SACC proposal passed to transfer to Thraupidae. Chavez et al. (2013) found that relationships within the genus are not consistent with the current linear sequence of species. SACC proposal passed to revise linear sequence.

NEW WORLD SPARROWS AND ALLIES
Yellow-throated Chlorospingus - Chlorospingus flavigularis. Common in the gardens and in mixed flocks. Genetic data (REFS, Burns et al. 2002, 2003) indicate the genus Chlorospingus is not a member of the Thraupidae, but (Klicka et al. 2007) a member of the Emberizidae. SACC proposal passed to transfer to Emberizidae. Barker et al. (2013) further confirmed the placement of the genus with the New World sparrows. Frank Pitelka (in Tordoff 1954a) long ago noted the emberizine-like behavior of Chlorospingus. SACC proposal passed to change English names of the species in the genus from “Bush-Tanager” to “Chlorospingus”.
