Disc 2
including all the sub-oscine passerines (Ovenbirds, Woodcreepers, Antbirds, Cotingas, Manakins, Tapaculos, Flycatchers etc.) is now available for purchase. Two hundred and seventy two species are painted, described and if the vocalization has been recorded anywhere it is on the disc (There are over eight hundred vocalizations on the disc).

The Land Birds of Southeast Brazil is a Standalone Checklist Edition of The Birder's NotebookTM. It installs and runs as an independent piece of software on your computer, but, if you have purchased the Standard Edition you can also use it with that software.

Disc Installation Information

  • If you have already installed Disc 2 on your computer and are about to install Disc 3

    • You should have no problems installing Disc 3 if Disc 2 is already installed. After you put the disc in your disc drive, the Install dialog box will display and give you the option of installing some or all of the files from the disc to your computer.

    If the installation does not begin automatically when you insert the disc into the drive, run the "Setup.exe" program from the disc

    Always check the 'Yes, run the Program File' option at the end of the Setup procedure

  • If you have already installed Disc 3 on your computer and have not yet installed Disc 2

    • If you install Disc 2 and Disc 3 has already been installed, much of the newer information included on Disc 3 will be deleted. (Individual pictures or vocalizations from Disc 3 will not be deleted but you will have no way of getting to them.)

    If at all possible, install Disc 2 first. If not, you must reinstall Disc 3 again after you install Disc 2. When you do this its better (but not essential) to first UNINSTALL Disc 3, then install Disc 2, then install Disc 3. If you don't uninstall Disc 3 first then when you put Disc 3 in the drive to reinstall it the Install dialog box will not display and you will have to run the "Setup.exe" program directly from the disc.

    If you don't possess a copy of Disc 3 but it is installed on your computer then don't install Disc 2 over it as you will no longer have access to any of the Disc 3 information!

  • A patch to correct page displays for wide screens (being tested) is here.

    Download the file 'WBird.zip' file to any location. Extract the 'WBird.exe' executable and replace the existing 'C:\Program Files\GGS\SEBrazil\Wbird.exe'





Errata for Disc 2

  1. Furnarius figulus
    2. : was observed in 2003 in Rio de Janeiro City, Refugio Chico Mendes, Barra do Ribeira.
  2. Leptasthenura setaria
    3. : Occurs at Fazenda Intervales and Iporanga.
  3. Anabacerthia amaurotis
    4. : Vocalization # 1 is doubtful. According to Jeremy Minns, São Paulo, it has similarities with Heliobletus and also with Syndactyla rufosuperciliata. Disregard vocalization # 3 belonging to Heliobletus contaminatus.
  4. Thamnophilus caerulescens
    5. : Vocalization # 5 is doubtful and might belong to Dysithamnus mentalis.
  5. Euscarthmus meloryphus
    6. : Disregard vocalizations #2 and #3 from Peru. They belong to the subspecies fulviceps and differ considerably from the vocalizations of the nominate form melorhyphus in SE Brazil.
  6. Elaenia obscura
    7. : Disregard vocalization # 6 belonging to subspecies obscura from NW Argentina based on the completely different calls. It is possibly a species distinct from sordida in SE Brazil.
  7. Phylloscartes sylviolus
    8. : Disregard vocalization # 5. It belongs to Amaurospiza moesta.
  8. Suriri affinis
    9. :The second call recorded by D. Finch at the Chapada near Cuiaba seems to belong to Suriri islerorum (Zimmer KJ, Whittaker A, Oren DC. A cryptic new species of flycatcher (Tyrannidae:Suiriri) from the cerrado region of central-south America. The Auk 118,56-78, 2001) and not to Suriri affinis. It resembles the "zhuwheep" - call of S. islerorum shown in Fig. 3E of the above mentioned paper.
