MANU  PERU "The World's Richest National Park" 9 - 25 July 2004 Tour Leader: Nick Athanas Participants: Don & Doris Pearson John Schenck Carol Thompson
The bizarre and fascinating Hoatzin, common around lakes and rivers.	All photos by Nick Athanas.

This year we were able to tie our trip in with a pelagic off the coast of Lima. We were lucky with fairly calm (but not too calm) seas and birds galore with many lifers seen by all. Highlights were the beautiful Cape Petrel and Ringed Storm-Petrel as well as plenty of Waved Albatrosses and several Peruvian Diving-Petrels.

This report is briefer than normal because I have so little time to write it up before heading off to other places. However, I'll share some photos from the tour to help tell the story...
 
 
 

The fruit feeders at Amazonia Lodge offer endless entertainment as tanagers and other species interact. Here a female Silver-beaked Tanager, a Palm Tanager, and a Blue-gray Tanager all squabble over  the same banana.	The Rufous-crested Coquette is one of the star attractions of Amazonia. We found this male in a dead tree a short walk from the lodge.

The Masked Crimson Tanager was one of the more gaudy species we found  around Amazonia. It was especially common here, and often noisy flocks of a dozen birds decended on a banana, devouring it within minutes...	One of our best mornings was spent in the canopy platform at Manu Wildlife Center, where we had birds all around us for several hours. Here a group of White-bellied Parrots sit preening on a nearby snag.

We took a chance with the macaw lick, since a change in the river's course has grounded the floating blind. We lucked out and most of activity happened very near to us, and we saw Red-and-green Macaws and six other parrot species perched.	When we weren't looking at parrots, there were other things to see too, such as this alert Cocoi Heron, several other herons and egrets, a pair of Orinoco Geese, a Pied Lapwing, Drab Water-Tyrants, Bat Falcons, a Great Black-Hawk, various swallows and swifts, and a Caiman.

We spent part of a day in the Lachay nature reserve north of Lima. The main part of the reserce held some treats like the cute Least Seedsnipe and the endemic Thick-billed Miner, but we also made a side trip to a dry cactus-studded canyon (pictured above) to look for the very local Cactus Canastero. We found an active pair hopping around on the rocks.

The Lima pelagic offered a rare chance to see some of the seabirds of the Humboldt Current. The beautiful Cape Petrel was one of the favorites. We started seeing them about 20 miles out.	White-chinned Petrels are one of the more common pelagic seabirds of the southern oceans, but we still enjoyed seeing them so well. We checked all that came close for black bill-tips, hoping in vain for a Westland.
