Black Tinamou

The Black Tinamou is a species of ground bird found in humid foothill and montane forest in the Andes of South America. This threatened species is among the largest tinamous.

The Black Tinamou is classified as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

Black Tinamou is currently threatened by the ongoing deforestation caused by human settlement expansion, agricultural expansion (mainly used for Coca plantations), associated road-building in Huila, and oil exploration in Peru. Trying to be saved: Black Tinamou is currently being conserved in Manú National Park (in Peru) and Cueva de los Guácharos National Park (in Huila). It was proposed to make the Tavara-Candamo area into Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. More

A wide range of different east-slope species can be seen along the pipeline because of its steep altitudinal drop. More

Black Tinamou have been seen here. The forest here is more of a cloud-forest type and the birds are partly different from around the lodge. It is a long day-hike and camping here is a better option. Check with the lodge. When traveling up and down the river one should see Fasciated Tiger-heron, Large-billed and Amazonian Terns. More
