Isla de Margerita (Venezuela) March 19 - April 2 2009 
- Around the hotel I saw Yellow-shouldered Parrot – a Parrot in danger of being extinct. Another species was Buffy Hummingbird and also Glaucous Tanager was seen most days...Jan Landsverke reports.
North-Eastern
Venezuela March 2007
- We found two species of antpitta this
morning: a handsome chestnut-crowned that came right in and sat
singing very close to us and a very hard to see slate-crowned,
that perched on a low branch...Didier Godreau reports.
Isla Margarita
- Venezuela March 27th-April 3rd 2006
- In need of a week’s break
we plumped for the limited avian delights of Isla Margarita,
Venezuela and were pleasantly surprised by the island’s
overall attractiveness, the variety of habitats and relative
abundance of other wildlife, especially butterflies...Mark
and Sandra Denis report

Venezuela - La
Escalera and the western areas May
29 - June 11, 2005
- Our trip was oriented around trying to find as many endemics
as we could, but not necessarily as many species as we could.
In the end I saw 413 species
and heard another 36. This included 20 endemics...Adding
in what others saw ... we finished
up with nearly 500 species anyway. Pretty awesome for just
2 weeks!..Ron Hoff reports

Isla de Margarita, Venezuela
2nd – 16th March 2005
- The Venezuelan island of Margarita lies 14
miles north of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean Sea. We found
it to be very much part of, and heavily reliant upon, Venezuela.
It is Spanish a speaking island, and Latin-American rather than
Caribbean in culture...Alan Miller reports.
Venezuela
November 2004
- Venezuela is currently one of the most accessible
countries of South America and holds a good proportion of the
region's avifauna. Venezuela has everything a birder could want:
a rich avifauna, a well-illustrated new guide, ample and diverse
habitats and modern facilities. Venezuela is one of the countries
with most bird species on Earth...Jan Vermeulen reports
Venezuela (Caracas to Merida.)
4-18 September 2004
- Highlights included such fantastic species
as Scallop-breasted Antpitta, a bird so rare and little-known
that David believes that only a few dozen other birders worldwide
have seen this species. Other major successes included Helmeted
Curassow, Plain-flanked Rail, Rusty-flanked Crake, Handsome Fruiteater,
Great Antpitta, Mérida and Caracas Tapaculos, Rufous-cheeked Tanager
and Tocuyo Sparrow...Gruff Dodd reports
Venezuelan N/NW Specialities
Aug/Sept 2003
- This trip focused on Venezuelan (VE) endemics
and what we came to call ‘Functional Endemics’ that
only occur in VE and in inaccessible (due to guerilla activity)
parts of NE Colombia. Since the 2 segments of the trip were rather
different, logistics will be mentioned separately. VE is a true
pleasure to travel in, with a well-developed infrastructure and
extremely friendly people...Joe Thompson reports.
Eastern Venezuela
14 - 30 December 2002
- This report covers a 16-day
trip to Eastern Venezuela taken by Ignace Ledegen, Bert Hoeybergs,
Filiep 't Jollyn and David Van den Schoor. Our main aim was to
see as many birds as possible and as many of the accessible tepui
endemic as possible....David Van den Schoor reports.
Venezuela July-August
2002
- In July and August 2002 we made what was
for both of us our first visit to Venezuela. We had three and
a half weeks in total and managed to cover a good proportion of
the sites throughout the country, omitting only the Llanos and
Amazonas amongst major areas....Simon Allen and Mike Catsis
report.
Venezuela, (Bolívar and Monagas States)
- Venezuela is currently one of the most accessible
countries of South America and holds a good proportion of the
region's avifauna. Birdlife in Venezuela is prolific with more
than 1360 species recorded, which is only exceeded by the number
of species to be found in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.
Few countries however have Venezuela's major advantage - a good
illustrated field guide which allows the visiting birding enthusiast
to identify most of what he sees...Jan Vermeulen reports
Venezuela 1998, 1997,
1995, 1994
- Here are summaries of John van der
Woude's reports of his independent trips to this highly
varied country. The reports cover most of the country: Andes,
Northeast, Henri Pittier NP, Falcon, Junglaven (Amazonas), Llanos,
Southeast (Bolivar).
