Birds of Praia do Forte, Mata de São João
Here follow the Antonio Silveira's observed birds checklist for Praia do Forte region, Mata de São João County, Bahia (12º 32’ 24,65” S - 37º 59’ 57,01” O), which is insert at Costa dos Coqueiros, in visit from September 26th to October 03rd, 2009, where we observed 96 birds' species, in around 10 hours of observation.
The visited region is composed by Atlantic Wood remanescents, and besides antropic intervention in the area, it's still possible observinh many birds species.
The observations had been done in the region near Lagoa Timeantube (12º 32’ 47,71” S – 37º 59’ 45,32” O, in two roads near the lake: (12º 32’ 52,58” S – 37º 59’ 43,24” O and 12º 32’ 31,04” S -37º 59’ 29,84” O.
We have tried to call Pyriglena atra (Fringe-backed Fire-eye) by playback, endemic bird from the region, but with no results. But another important birds were observed and registered. In open areas it was common observing Athene cunicularia (Burrowing Owl) and Schistochlamys ruficapillus (Cinnamon Tanager).
We were lucky in observing the behavior known as “lek” of Chrysolampis mosquitus (Ruby-topaz Hummingbird), with hundreds of them vocalizing near each one.
The Forte Beach is also known as a great place for observing Megaloptera novaeangliae (Humpback whale), what we could do.
Our thanks for the attention and information provided by Gary L.Skolnik and Lucas Guarneri, Director and Gerent from the local Golf Club, allowing the observations in the place.
