Birding out of Tarapoto for two days we saw some great stuff and many Peru ticks for me. A site in the Huallaga Valley was particularly productive with White-bellied Pygmy-tyrant, Planalto Hermit, Rufous Casiornis, Sulphur-bellied Tyrant-manakin and Rusty-backed Antwren. The Tarapoto - Yurimaguas road passes through some nice upper tropical forest near the tunnel about an hour north of town. Target birds here included Wattled Guan, Dotted Tanager, Plumbeous Euphonia, and Blackish Pewee. My favourite group of Neotropical birds is the puffbirds, so it was nice to see this Lanceolated Monklet as well as a host of more widespread Amazonia birds like Bluish-fronted Jacamar and White-tailed Trogon (top).
