With a total landmass of 276 km2, Ometepe is the world’s largest island within a fresh-water lake—Lake Nicaragua, also known as Lake Cocibolca—the same lake that the Spanish conquerors called a “fresh water sea” because of its sheer size. Ometepe, which means “two hills” in the native “náhuatl” language, is aptly named since the island is comprised of two volcanoes separated by a nar-row strip of land. The largest, Concepción, an active volcano towering 1,610 m above sea level, is located in the northern half of the island. The smaller, inactive Maderas volcano, with a maximum height of 1,394 m, is located in the island’s southern half. Ometepe’s human population of 37,000 inhabitants, collectively referred to as “ometepinos,” constitutes a blend of di!erent tribes and cultures.

The island’s main port is in the city of Moyogalpa. Three boats and a ferry travel back and forth several times a day during the week to connect Moyogalpa to San Jorge, a small port about 10 minutes from the city of Rivas, which is about a two-hour drive from the colonial city of Granada, a popular tourist destination.

Diego Osorno

Diego Osorno was born in the colonial city of Granada located on the shore of Lake Nicara-gua (Lake Granada) only about 10 km from the Mombacho Volcano. He obtained a Bach-elor’s Degree in Ecology and Natural Resources at UCA. While still a university student, he was selected by International sponsors as a mem-

ber of the first group trained in the study and monitoring of Nicaragua’s diverse avifauna. Training included all aspects of capture, banding and processing of birds. !roughout his pro-fessional career he has concentrated his research on the study of birds and (as equally gratifying) the study of plants, all the time working closely with local communities in promoting the protection and management of Nicaragua’s protected areas. Currently, he assists Amigos de la Tierra in providing technical support for their sustainable development projects underway in Central Nicaragua and along the Pacific slope.

Salvadora Morales

Originally from the Caribbean coast of Nicara-gua, Salvadora moved to Managua to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Ecology and Natural Re-sources at Central American University (UCA). She was trained as a biologist and ornitholo-gist by international government agencies and NGO’s, specializing in biodiversity conserva-

tion and natural resources management. For the past 9 years, she has been involved in research and monitoring programs focusing on the country’s resident and migratory birds, within several government and privately owned nature reserves such as Cerro Datanlí-El Diablo, between Matagalpa and Jinotega; El Jaguar Cloud Forest Reserve, Jinotega; and Mombacho Vol-cano Natural Reserve. From 2002 to 2007, she was the Central American Regional Coordinator for “Program MoSI” (Moni-toring Overwintering Survival). Currently, she serves as a bio-logical advisor to Fauna & Flora International, coordinating its Ometepe Island management and conservation program within the Maderas Cloud Forest Reserve, where she conducts research on birds and other animals and plants.

Sandra Hernández

Sandra Hernández was born in Jinotepe, a small city in southwestern Nicaragua, at the apex of the “golden co"ee triangle”(Granada, Masaya, Carazo) in the heart of the country’s fertile agricultural belt. She completed a Bach-elor’s Degree in Biology. For the past four years she has been involved in collaborative research

focused on the ecology and population dynamics of resident and migratory birds within the 4,100-ha El Chocoyero-El Brujo Nature Reserve located less than 30 km south of Mana-gua. In addition to serving as a freelance biological consultant o"ering technical assistance to Fauna & Flora International in the monitoring of birds within the Maderas Volcano Natural Reserve on Ometepe Island, she also assists !e Nature Con-servancy, which is currently researching various aspects of the biogeography, demography, and non-breeding ecology of the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia).

Wayne J. Arendt, Ph.D.

Wayne J. Arendt is a research ornithologist with the USDA Forest Service’s International Insti-tute of Tropical Forestry. He is stationed at the Sabana Research Field Station in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in northeastern Puerto Rico. His biological interests are broad, ranging from avian morphometrics and life histories,

migratory bird ecology and population dynamics, to sustaining the biodiversity of vertebrate fauna in tropical forests by saving rare, often endemic and endangered animals from extinction. For more than 30 years, he has lived and conducted research in the Neotropics promoting international conservation and the training of natural resource stewards in the principles and techniques of wildlife ecology throughout the Caribbean and Mesoamerica. He has worked in Nicaragua for more than ten years and has trained many of the local biologists. Whereas most of his publications are of a scientific and technical nature, he is currently involved in co-producing environmental aware-ness and tourism materials such as this checklist, which is but one in a series under production for the region.

OMETEPE ISLANDOmetepe Island is located in southwest-ern Nicaragua within Lake Cocibolca, the third largest fresh-water lake in Latin America. !e entire island is a protected area, forming part of the nation’s natural reserve system and cultural heritage. It is known as an “oasis of peace” or “prom-ised land” because of its world-renowned scenery, including two majestic volcanoes

separated by a narrow lava flow isthmus. !e island is crowned with lush forests and incandescent waterfalls, and is widely ac-claimed for its overwhelming natural beauty and untouched beaches. Residents rightfully boast of the island’s unforgettable tranquility, pervasive hospitality, and abundant archeological artifacts awaiting each visitor. In fact, Ometepe is considered by some to be one of the richest petroglyph areas in Latin America, home to more than 600 distinct petroglyph sites.

!e island’s natural environment is comprised of extensive wet-lands and associated natural areas that harbor a rich biodiversity representative of the country and the region. Climate wise, the island is in an area of transition between the dry region of the Pacific and the humid region of the Caribbean. Temperatures vary between 24 to 32 °C (75 to 89 °F). Coastal and wetlands vegetation is semideciduous (some trees lose their leaves in the dry season). !e evergreen vegetation of the Maderas Volcano’s cloud forest, located above 800 meters elevation, retains its lush green color and high humidity throughout the year, and it is here where one can view the endemic plant, Ardisia omete-pensis, found nowhere else in the world. !e rain forest’s highly diverse plants, with their kaleidoscope of colors and unique forms, not only enhance the esthetic experience of the visitor, but also serve the surrounding communities by capturing and channeling potable water and providing firewood. Ometepe’s natural areas, in unison with its human component, typify the notion of “man living in harmony with nature”.

More than 50 species of mammals have been reported, includ-ing the howler monkey (Alouatta palliata), white-faced capu-chin (Cebus capucinus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgin-ianus), variegated squirrel (Sciurus variegatoides) and 18 species

of bats; 9 species of amphibians, of which the most famous is the red-eyed frog (Agalychnis callidryas), 31 species of reptiles, including narrow-snouted spectacled caiman (Caiman croco-dilus), boa constrictor (Boa constrictor imperator), and black iguana (Ctenosaura similis) among others.

BIRD-WATCHINGWe invite you to meet our challenge to view every one of the 148 species of resident and migratory birds thus far document-ed, including species characteristic of both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes of Nicaragua. Also included are globally threat-ened species such as the !ree-wattled Bellbird (Procnias tri-carunculatus), species threatened within Nicaragua, namely Yellow-naped Parrot (Amazona auropalliata) and Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens), as well as species characteristic of agri-culture, borders of wetlands, forest edge, and dry forest such as Pacific Parakeet (Aratinga strenua) and White-throated Mag-pie-Jay (Calocitta formosa), and indicator species of primary montane forest, e.g., Purple-throated Mountain-gem (Lamp-ornis calolaema). Migrants include species from both North and South America.

Ometepe’s avian color spectacle varies seasonally. Between Oc-tober and March, brightly plumaged migratory birds reward visitors and bird-watchers alike with tantalizing color mosa-ics such as those flaunted by male Painted Buntings (Passerina ciris) and American Redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla). At other times of the year, especially during the breeding season (April to September), the island’s spectacularly plumaged resident birds, including Plain-capped Starthroat (Heliomaster constan-tii), Blue-throated Goldentail (Hylocharis eliciae), and Orange-billed Nightingale-!rush (Catharus aurantiirostris) delight the visitor not only with their stunning coloration, but also their spectacular courtship rituals and, in the case of the nightingale-thrush, its melodious song.

Because there remain areas of Ometepe Island that have yet to be surveyed for birds, and because avian monitoring has just begun, this checklist is preliminary at best. Consequently, your amply documented sightings and careful observations will greatly contribute to our knowledge of the island’s avifauna.
