Hi all, I just uploaded a photo to the ID section of Band-winged Nightjar from Chiguata, Arequipa (at 3000 m). I did never worry about witch subspecies it...
Hi, I don't think so. The bird on your picture is very dark, even blackish. It belongs to the atripunctatus subspecies. There is a nice picture of the much...

Folks This is a species I have always wanted to look for as I am sure it is as common as dirt. But a good beer/wine often beckons more than an evening trip out...
PeruBirders, Last July, I did the trek to the ruins of Choquequirao: wonderful ruins and wonderful landscape, but a very steep trail ! I did the trail in 4...
Don Manuel. Congratulations for the great job. I would like to do a suggestion. Should be included the list of the sub species accepted for the country. In...
Hi Ramiro, My impression is that the purpose of Xeno-canto is to share recordings, not store them for long-term archival. There just is not enough assurance...
hola Chris, /wrong/ impression. We have /every/ intention to keep xeno-canto going for the next 20 or 50 years. We just got started really. When some...
Well, Peru actually has a record committee, but it is so secret that nobody has even heard of it. It was mentioned briefly Tom Schulenberg at his talk at the...
actually Gunnar, I think the committee is a bit shy on going public because they have a really crap name that should remain a secret until it is changed : ) ...
Gunnar, We are all on the same team here are we not? We are all trying to decipher distributions, make sense of what birds do, what species are valid.and all...
Hi all: agree with some things, But I think two things to consider: 1. only imports have more species? or matter also a scientific rigor 2. without wanting to...
Hi Alvaro Well, being used to being the one that stir up some heat....I felt a sort of rant was appropriate (and this one is even longer....BEWARE!)....and in...
Hola Joaquin I am not sure I understand your first point. But I think you are asking. If to me it is more important to have more species than scientific rigor....
Gunnar, please, your postings are rather shrill. I see you are upset, fair enough. The SACC is NOT the enemy. Rather it is an exciting development in that it...

Hi Todd. I think I blew it being professional a long time ago! hehehe! But to summerize what I just said but with your words: SACC is not the enemy...I also...
Dear all, In a way it's an interesting discussion, and at least I hope the new record committee for Peru takes not of it. Gunnar: I will never get a...
Man, I used to have the idea the birders were just a bunch of middle- aged, peaceful "gringos" with expensive cameras. I'm loving this discussion....we even...
Gunnar, Have a Pisco Sour and relax man…it’s only birds, not nuclear proliferation we are talking about here. I think you are missing the point, the SACC...
... Funny accusation, considering the SACC list is precisely an internet-based project that is updated on a nearly daily basis. Maybe that is because from its...
Yes, that is ironic isn't it? But, the SACC web-page certainly will not win any prices for best lay out, etc. Pretty stoneage, if you ask me? Gunnar On Sun,...
Al,
Life is more fun if you go a little bit crazy sometimes.
I hear you. You are underlining my point. We don't need to follow SACC and probably most...
Hola a todos. Why has to be in this sence a discussion? I mean why offending?. Should be just with serious arguments, don't you think? I don't think it is...
People, I am just Quijote here, an idealist who is fighting an imaginary enemy. Don't take me seriously. And I was trying to be funny! If I offended...
Wow. What a time to be away from the computer for most of the weekend. I think it's just as well that I wasn't reading all of this discussion in real time. It...
