1 DAY BIIRDING OLIVAR PARK PANTANOS

Introduction

Lima is not the most attractive of cities, and arriving at the airport to the sight of crowds of people outside offering taxi and hotel services can be a shock to most tourists who are expecting pretty little Andean villages and Inca ruins. The climate doesn't help either, with Lima being covered in a blanket of low cloud except for the months of January and February when the sun shines.

El OlivarPark and Pantanos de Villa. Short excursion - Morning or Afternoon.

This is a good introduction to the birds of LIma. Slow pace with time to look at the birds well.

El Olivar Park gives easy access to Croaking Ground-Dove, West Peruvian (Pacific) Dove, Amazilia Hummingbird, Vermillion Flycatcher, Shiny Cowbird, and feral populations of Saffron Finch, Blue-gray Tanager, Pacific Parrotlet, Red-masked, Canary-winged and Scarlet-fronted Parakeets. Nearby there is a nesting pair of Harris´s Hawk. Sometimes Peruvian Sheertail may be seen.

At Pantanos de Villa Great Grebe, Least Bittern, Many-colored Rush-Tyrant, Wren-like Rush-bird, Plumbeous Rail, Peruvian Thickknee and Peruvian Meadowlark are among the more sought birds. Other marshloving birds are White-cheeked Pintail, Cinnamon Teal, Little Blue Heron, Andean Duck, Grey-hooded Gull and in the lower grassy wet areas Grassland Yellow-Finch and Yellowish Pipit. At sea one may see Peruvian Pelican and Peruvian Boobies, some distant Inca Terns, as well as Band-tailed, Gray, Kelp and in the southern winter thousands of Franklin´s Gulls. The mudflats are good for visiting and resident waders Black-necked Stilt, Killdeer, both Yellowlegs, Least and Stilt Sandpipers and occationally Short-billed Dowitcher.
