Beskrivelse: Efter sigende et af de letteste steder at finde denne specielle fugl - dog kræver det 3 nætters ophold på ASA Wright for at “kvalificere” til en guidet tur til hulen hvor de yngler. Guiden lyser så ca. 3 sek med infrarødt lys på fuglene der sidder få meter væk

Beskrivelse: Probably the most unexpected bird we saw during our stay at Sani Lodge. The two most experienced bird guides at Sani Lodge Carlos and Domingo had apparently never seen this species at Sani Lodge but had none the less seen it a couple of times at other places in the Amazon lowland. These strange nocturnal birds are usually seen in caves in the foothills where they breed and roost during the day. In Ecuador there are two well known caves birders visit in order to see Oilbirds and only very rarely they are recorded away from these two sites.
Oilbirds are related to nightjars but placed in its own family. And where the nightjars and their relatives are insectivores the Oilbird is a specialist fructivore feeding on the fruits of the Oil Palm and tropical laurels.
This bird was found with a flashlight perched on a branch over our canoe when we were heading back to the lodge after a successful evening excursion to see Black-banded owl and Long-tailed Potoo.
A short video clip of the bird can be seen <a target='_blank' href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8F7yDWvP-U'>here</a>.

Beskrivelse: Denne art, der på dansk vist hedder Fedtfugl, lever i dybe, helt mørke grotter - ofte svært tilgængelige.
Lokalitetn Quiscarruni (måske er sidste stavelse forkert...) ligger lige ved hovedvejen mellem Taraputo og Moyomamba. Overfor skiltet med by-navnet, ligger en grotte, som man skal se ned i - her ser man de underlige natravneagtige fugle sidde på hylderne som var det et natligt fuglefjeld.
Hej Klaus
Det er hermed gjort.
Du har også en måge liggende til opload taget i 2011 :-).
Jeg skal se om jeg kan huske at få det ændret inden den kommer online.
mvh
Morten
Hej Morten
Mågen er naturligvis fra 2010:) Det er jo typisk at man de første dage inde i et nyt år glemmer at kalenderåret er ændret......
Godt nytår KMO
