04-02 4 (all females; photographed) at the parking place of Lago
Todos Los Santos at Petrohue, X Región.
At first,
I did not know how to identify these birds, because no male was around. After
seeing the picture in Ridgley and Tudor (1994) and my photos it proved that
they were actually Austral Negritos.
77.
Rufous-tailed Plantcutter - Phytotoma rara

Parque Nacional Puyehue, X Región
02-02 c 5 west of Ancud, Chiloe Island, X Región

Región Metropolitana
10-02 2 singing and foraging on the crags at km 3.5, road to Embalse
de Yeso, Región Metropolitana.
These endemic
birds stopped singing at 20:45 hours. It was impossible to get them into the
telescope, because the birds were too active, the angle too steep (almost 80
degrees) and the tripod I used was too short for me. Nevertheless, with my 8x42
binoculars I still got good views. Song as described in Ridgley and Tudor (1994).
83.
Thorn-tailed Rayadito - Aphrastura spinicauda
30-01 c 10 Termas de Palquin, IX Región

09-02 4 (at least) site A in Pearman (1995), Parque Nacional
La Campana, V Región
Note: One bird was singing, a trilling warble, cf Ridgley and Tudor
(1994).
85.
White-throated Treerunner - Pygarrhichas albogularis
30-01 1 (closely observed) Termas de Palquin, IX Región
06-02 2 along track A in Pearman (1995) just before Parque Nacional
Laguna de la Laja, VII Región; a very beautiful bird!
86.
Chestnut-throated Huet-huet - Pteroptochus castaneus
06-02 1 along track A in Pearman (1995) just before Parque Nacional
Laguna de la Laja, VII Región.
After a 45-minutes search I saw this silent large brown wren-like bird
with a very conspicuous white eye-ring skulking on a fallen tree trunk. One
of the highlights of the holiday! I follow Ridgley and Tudor (1994) in splitting
this species from Black-throated Huet-Heut - Pteroptochus tarnii.
87.
Moustached Turca - Pteroptochus megapodius
09-02 3 (one seen) at site A in Pearman (1995), Parque Nacional
La Campana, V Región. One bird led me straight to the Dusky-tailed Canastero
and the White-throated Tapaculo, so this bird is one of my all-time favourites!
10-02 1 (heard only) at the Crag Chilia-spot, Región Metropolitana
88.
White-throated Tapaculo - Scelorchilus albicollis
09-02 1 (closely observed, probably alarming or just curious?)
at site A in Pearman (1995), Parque Nacional La Campana, V Región. Another very
spectacular tapaculo.
89.
Chucao Tapaculo - Scelorchilus rubecula
30-01 2 Termas de Palquin, IX Región
02-02 c 5 west of Ancud, Chiloe Island, X Región
03-02 c 5 Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales 10 km west Petrohue,
X Región
04-02 c 25 (1 seen!) Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales near
Petrohue, X Región
90. Ochre-flanked Tapaculo - Eugralla paradoxa
04-02 c 5 (only heard, a staccato burst of 6-8 chieet tones), Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales near Petrohue, X Región91.
Magellanic Tapaculo - Scytalopus magellanicus
11-02 1 between boulders above Embalse de Yeso, Región
Metropolitana.
This bird
was completely sooty black with no rufous flanks or barring. I could ascertain
myself of this, because I saw the bird at close range three times. Fjeldså and
Krabbe (1990) give for the range of magellanicus one spot near Santiago and
from Región VII to X: “…From Isla Grande …n in the Andes at least to Neuquén
Arg and Santiago (Aconcagua) Chile…” and for fuscus they describe: “At least
to 950 m, in mts of Atacama to 4000 m. From Río Bío Bío to Atacama Chile and
in Mendoza Arg. Sympatric with magellanicus at least from Bío Bío to Santiago
(possibly to Aconcagua)…”. Pearman (1994) gives Magellanic Tapaculo as the only
Scytalopus in this area, while Ridgley and Tudor (1994) describe: “.. At n.
end of its range in Chile, the Magellanic Tapaculo seems to occur only at comparatively
high elevations; here it inhabits, apparently exclusively, extensive areas of
loose boulders.” Araya and Chester (1993) describe for Dusky: “..S m fuscus
Gould, ranging from Atacama to Bío Bío, into the Andes up to 4000m…”. Krabbe
(in litt, 1999): ‘All the highland records are probably magellanicus. It can
be just as black as fuscus (Riveros and Villegas 1994, An. Mus. Hist. Nat. Valparaiso
22: 91-101), so in the field black birds can only be identified on voice. Moreover
some fuscus specimens (or a distinct species, now extinct?) from Colchagua have
white crowns. Highest reliable record of fuscus appears to be 2900 m. Black
Mendoza birds from 3500 m are probably magellanicus.’
92.
