Mangaloma Reserve Bird Checklist
Completely revised in January 2010, last updated 13 March 2010. Compiled by Alejandro Solano-U.
The following is a comprehensive bird list of all known bird species recorded in Reserva Mangaloma. The first bird survey took place in 1994, when Krabbe et al found over 135 species in a short visit during the month of November. Follow by the unpublished report of the aforementioned group, the reserve made it to “A Guide to bird-watching in Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands ” published in 1997 under the authorship of Williams et al but at the time was managed by a different owner and thus had a different name: “Hacienda Francisco Rodriguez”. Since then few visitors made it to the place and until 2006, when a bird inventory program was established by the new administration, the place went overlooked. After the discovery of the long mythical Banded-ground Cuckoo in the reserve (Solano-Ugalde & Arcos-Torres Cotinga 27: 79,81) the place started to gain more attention from the birding community and it´s now the core conservation area of Río Caoní Important Bird Area. To date close to 300 bird species have been recorded within the reserve boundaries and the access road (Solano-Ugalde In prep.), and of these an exceptional 30 plus are considered endemic to the Chocó Bioregion (Ridgely & Greenfield 2001). Potential new visitors are encouraged to contact Fundación Imaymana and request the Mangaloma Birding Fact Sheet.
This new list has received important feedback from visitors that have reached the reserve and added species to the 2006 checklist version, special thanks to: Willy Pérez, Carlitos Hesse, Nick Athanas, Robert Johnson, Sam Woods, Manuel Sánchez, Noam Shanny, Dubi Shapiro, Charlie Vogt, Xavier Muñoz, Río Caoní IBA Local Support Group, all volunteers of 2006 crew, and many others that had also visited.
We encourage all visitors to contact the reserve administration to provide further information on any new record to be included in upcoming versions of this checklist.
