I am forwarding this announcement on behalf of Craig Thompson of the
Wisconsin DNR. He is an avid birder and a strong advocate for birds and
birding. If you have any questions, please direct them to Craig.
This looks like an interesting birding adventure with a great purpose.

Jocotoco Birdathon: The American Bird Conservancy, the Wisconsin Bird
Conservation Initiative and the Jocotoco Foundation (an ABC partner in
Ecuador) are pleased to sponsor the landmark "Jocotoco Birdathon". This
momentous event is designed to raise money to save habitat for Ecuador's
rarest birds while helping two Important Bird Areas battle for the title of
"Birdiest Reserve".
The birdathon will take place at two Jocotoco Foundation Reserves. The
Buenaventura Reserve, located in southwestern Ecuador, protects a critically
important tract of humid cloud forest in the otherwise arid west-slope
foothills of the Andes. The reserve provides habitat for 300 species of
birds, nine classified as globally threatened, including the El Oro Parakeet
and El Oro Tapaculo.
The Tapichalaca Reserve, located in southern Ecuador, protects an area of
very wet temperate zone forest on the east slope of the Andes. This is the
only known location for the critically endangered Jocotoco Antpitta. The
reserve also provides habitat for additional feathered rarities including
golden-plumed parakeet, masked saltator and bearded guan. Both protected
areas provide important over-wintering habitat for a variety of neotropical
migrants.
The Birdathon is scheduled for September 8 - 17, 2006. Cost is $1,365 (not
including airfare) + a $500 donation to the Jocotoco Foundation. Space is
limited to twelve participants. All proceeds will be donated to the Jocotoco
Foundation to purchase habitat for endangered birds in Ecuador.
