BIRDS

Some birding places and its checklists
(by Antonio Silveira)

BIRDS OF ITATIAIA NATIONAL PARK - RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL



Data about the observation
    This list was done by Antônio Silveira R. dos Santos, birdwatcher and studier of natural history and it is based on antique lists and on observation and notes done in visits from 1990 to August 2000.
The observations were done mainly at the forested region of down Itatiaia (900 m alt.), at the area of "Repouso Itatiaia" Hotel, which is called nowadays Donati Hotel, having an area of 200 hundred m2 and at the areas of the Park near this Hotel, including the museum area and the roads of access from the hotel, as illustrated in picture 1. Observations were done at High Itatiaia (2.400 m alt.) and once we have climbed Maromba's path to Macieira, in expedition organized by Élio Gouveia. Also, in another expedition, with Fábio Olmos in High Itatiaia (June 2010).
As it is not a scientific work, but of mere verifying of species in observations of a birder from making easier for another birders who are interested in knowing the birds that occur in Itatiaia, it's not necessary the relation of dates and time of the observations, that are maintained at our archive.
Practically all the observations are documented by videos (VHS, VHS-C, Hi-8, and DV) photos (Cannon EOS- 850 e 3.000, objectives 300mm e 400mm) and recordings (Sony Recorder- 500, Mini Disc, Marantz, Directional Microphones Azden and Sennheiser).
All the photograph, sound and video registers are digitized and archived in CDs, at The Environmental Program: The Last Noah's Ark heap.
The work of observation is still going on, being possible the list's updating.
Data about Itatiaia National Park
    Itatiaia National Park was created by The Federal Decree n.º 1.713 from June 14th, 1937 and its area is 30.000 hectares, being at the coordinates S 22º16’ e 22º28’ e W 44º34’ e 44º42’ and it is located at the Counties of Itatiaia and Resende, Rio de Janeiro, and Itamonte, Alagoa e Bocaina de Minas, Minas Gerais.

    The Park is divided in:
    High Itatiaia- region around the altitudes of 2500 and 1800 meters, containing altitude fields, and so its poor in relation of birds. It's S. moreirae stronghold, endemic specie of the high peaks of Brazilian Southeast.
    Medium Itatiaia- Region around 1.800 and 1.100 meters of altitude, there are transitional vegetation at the highest points and exuberant wood at the less high places, where we can see Maromba region, where Maromba River flows or The beautiful water falls of Campo Belo.
    Down Itatiaia- region around 1.100 meters up to the Park beginning, that is on the mountain basis and near Itatiaia City. There we can find some hotels and houses, but the forest is still exuberant and the access by roads makes easier for the avifauna observation.
    Up until now we observed 236 species.
