Supay Creek is one of the tributaries of the Ucayali River. It finds its way along this land through primary rainforest and varzea forest covered by grasses and secropia trees. This region is full of opportunities for all sorts of birds such as raptors and fruit eaters. Therefore, a great opportunity for us to observe and learn about how this ecosystem works. The sightings were as unique as the place. There was a vibrant group of yellow rumped caciques, all of them courting, singing and building nests. There were monkeys as well and the coolest of all sightings - a flock of toucans.
In the afternoon we visited Flor de Castaña dry forest. This place is one of a kind! Everything in this region is lush green but this flooded forest is dead! It is made of dead trees and it is home to several species of birds. The dead trees are nesting sites for caciques and parrots. Among all these vibrant life forms we found flocks of sand-colored night hawks. All of them very well camouflaged on the bark of the dead trees.
Here in this rainforest the dead trees are an opportunity to build nests for woodpeckers and many other birds during nesting season. There are also raptors such as caracaras, hawks and ospreys looking for food and perching in the surrounding trees.
