rediscovered Cocha Antshrike, a species that until the fall of 1990 was known to science from a single female specimen. One morning will be devoted to visiting islands in the Napo River where a completely different assortment of species can be found, some of which are so specialized in their unique habitats that they have never been recorded on the mainland. We’ll look particularly for White-bellied Spinetail, Castelnau’s Antshrike, Black-and-white Antbird, Lesser Wagtail-Tyrant, River Tyrannulet, Mottle-backed Elaenia and Orange-headed Tanager. More
