Birds checklists by places

BIRDS OF ITANHAÉM-SP

Since October of 1989, we've visited (Antonio Silveira) several places in regions of Itanhaém/SP, County, observing the avifauna, that resulted in the present cumulative list.

The main regions visited by us were the Jardim Bopiranga, road of Rio Preto and Rio Branco trajects, the estuary of the Itanhaém River and the Loteamento Anchieta (=land division), places where native vegetation is still preserved, mainly constituted of restinga.

These places are located in the enormous plain of restinga, a flooded area part, between the Manoel da Nóbrega highway and near Serra do Mar, in the county of Itanhaém, south coast of São Paulo. This is one of the more interesting regions of restinga of the São Paulo state, and one of less studied in terms of birds, also considered an Important Area for Conservation of Birds (Important BIRD Areas-IBAs), according to BirdLife (Áreas Importantes para a Conservação das Aves no Brasil, Parte I- Estados do Domínio da Mata Atlântica-São Paulo:SAVE Brasil, org.Goerck et alls.2006).

The region still keeps many natural areas and considering the few lands have been divided and demarcated, several streets have been practically abandoned, with just a few houses. Many streets have already disappeared with the growth of the native vegetation. One of them is the division of Jardim Bopiranga, that extends from the highway for about 6 km headed to the mountain range of the sea (Serra do Mar). All the streets are difficult to travel by car when it rains.

High Restinga, the “abandonment” of the region, very little demographic density and social disinterest, have formed a special environment birdwatching, creating true and interesting transects, that facilitate the locomotion since the region is plain. In these conditions we also find the Loteamento Anchieta, practically to the side of Jardim Bobiranga. The river Itanhaém still exists, one of the most important rivers of one of the most important basins of the south coast of the São Paulo state, which is formed mainly by the rivers Preto and Branco, also formed by smaller rivers that come from the mountain range (Serra do Mar), in the neighboring county or Mongaguá.

For all these natural conditions and attributes, the region is rich in birds, with rare and/or threatened species as: Red-tailed Parrot (Amazona brasiliensis; Papagaio-de-cara-roxa), which uses a caxetal (Tabebuia cassinroidis) as dormitory, Black-headed Berryeater (Carpornis melanocephala; Sabiá-pimenta), Cinnamon-vented Piha (Lipaugus lanioides; Tropeiro-da-serra) and Bare-throated Bellbird (Procnias nudicollis; Araponga).

Up until now, we (Antonio Silveira) visited the region in the following dates: Sep. 28th and 29th, 1989; Dec. 02nd, 1989; Jan. 13rd, 1990; Feb. 03rd, 1990; Ap. 06th, 1991; March 18th and 20th, 1993. In the first four ones and the ant-least I’ve been with Dante Buzzeti, the fifth time with Caetano Júnior. Also in June 07th, 2008 by boat in river Itanhaém with Fábio Olmos and the guides Eduardo de Castro Francisco and Marcos Chicuta, all biologists. In May 27^th, 2009 with Bruno Lima and Fábio Olmos, in the region of the rio Preto and in November, 27^th,2009 with Bruno Lima in the Loteamento Anchieta.

We registered 183 species of birds in the Itanhaém county. Our registers for the time being have been made only in restingas and interior woods, therefore sea birds are not included.
