Know of an annotated checklist Ecuador? (1 Viewer)

[kstrating]

Does anyone know of an annotated checklist for Ecuador that follows Ridgely and Greenfield? There appears to be an older one out there, but nothing with more recent taxonomy, ranges or abundance. Help?

All I could find are:
Annotated checklist for Northern South America

An Annotated List of the Birds of Mainland Ecuador by R. Ridgely, P. Greenfield and M. Guerrero

and info on this site for birding in Ecuador

Dave,
Where did you find? And is it the 1999 version or more recent?

Annotated List of the Birds of Mainland Ecuador by R. Ridgely, P. Greenfield and M. Guerrero

Thanks for your help. -Katie.

Katie,
I just did a Google search. I don't have the checklist so can't say what the date/ version is. Hope it helps.

Thanks Dave. For some reason I can't find it... probably driver error. I appreciate your efforts. -K

Here's a link to order the Annotated checklist for the Birds of Ecuador . It was published by Fundación Ornitológica del Ecuador, CECIA. I don't know anything about the bookseller in the link.

I've just sent off for one - I hope it's in stock as I'm off in less than 3 weeks!

Have a great trip!

Thank you. I'll bet I'll leave before that darned list gets here though - NHBS is out of stock and it's being shipped from Ecuador. The irony...

VB- Yes, I had same experience with getting the list, didn't know it was coming from Ecuador first! Probably available in the airport gift shop! LOL.

Don't know if you are following the "What to include in a checklist" thread I started under general information forum, but it has morphed into where to find Ecuador checklists. So far, there is a link to an alphabetical list (excell doc, updated April 2006) of species with columns for days/area information. I downloaded it, and though no annotations, is good to go. Also, I was sent email, another similar list in alpha order that is updated April 2003 to Ridgely/Greenfield. It is a word doc. It's a place to start even if no annotations. Good luck, pm me if you want the second list.

Many thanks. You have a PM.

Well, that list I sent off for from the Natural History Book Service - who, incidentally, are usually pretty good - never did show up, so I've emailed them and cancelled the order. I managed to get one in Ecuador anyway, for a few dollars, which was a lot cheaper.

Hi VB,

Welcome back! How was the trip?

Fantastic, thanks KS. So much so I am going back at the end of the year!
