A huge thank you to Karina, Joe, Becca and Jorge at Para La Tierra for accommodating and assisting me with this project. Paul Smith Zoologist Fauna Paraguay for assisting with completion of this report, his birding expertise and identification of species. To all my friends who kept me on my toes with sightings at Laguna Blanca San Pedro Dept Paraguay.
Introduction
Reserva Naturalista Laguna Blanca, San Pedro Department,
Paraguay is situated at the point where three important ecosystems meet (Upper
Parana Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Bosque Central of Paraguay). This is
considered by experts as the only area in Paraguay to have a natural lake which
is spring fed.
The McKinnon method (McKinnon and Phillips 1993) measures
the relative abundance and species richness of an area. The method involves the
creation of fixed length lists each species that is seen or heard appearing
once on a list of up to twenty species. Once the first list is complete then
the next list begins and can contain species recorded in the previous list
providing the individuals seen have not already been counted.
A specific plot is not required but field data should be
recorded (habitat, weather). There is no time limit on completing the lists
therefore time can be spent looking for more elusive species. Species are
recorded if they are using the area which is being surveyed. eg. Vulture
searching for carcases
Ten lists are recommended for analysis. The number of new
species decreases as the number of lists increase. When new species recorded reaches a plateau
then it is considered that the area has been adequately sampled.
The relative abundance is measured from the number of lists
each species appears in.
The overall species richness (SR) can be measured as
follows:-
SR = S + N/ (2 x P)
Where S = number of
species observed, N = number of species observed only once and P = number of species
observed twice.
Method
Laguna Blanca Reserve San Pedro Department Paraguay was
chosen as the study area. The reserve was divided into four areas Atlantic
Forest, Cerrado, Lagoon and environs, and Transitional Forest which covered the
habitat types on the reserve.
A count from each area was taken once a week with a five day
period between each count in a habitat type. Due to high temperatures and the
size of each area counts were confined to the morning and afternoon/evening.
This allowed the opportunity to record night species without the risk of double
counting birds if a whole day count was taken.
Areas Surveyed
Atlantic Forest
A single stretch of forest runs along the SE of the reserve
behind the beach and living accommodation.
The North forest has various trails including Urukurea which
is a tourist trail. The Kurupayty trail leads through areas of central and
South forest. The central forest is
divided by a dirt road which leads out of the reserve. The South forest begins
beyond a pair of gates and has trails some of which were overgrown.
Cerrado
This was by far the largest area on the reserve 400 ha
(P.Smith 2012) and is divided into four habitat types:-
Campo limpio: Grassland and small shrubs
Campo sucio: Grassland with medium shrubs
Sensu Strictu: Trees and shrubs with ground plants
Cerradon: Tall trees
This area had a disused airfield at the W side of the lagoon
which divided the areas of Transitional forest. A sand track ran to the top of
the airfield then divided two ways which led to the edge of the reserve.
Lagoon and environs
The lake is spring fed and covers 147 ha. Para La Tierra’s
field site base is situated in the SW corner and accommodation and a tourist
beach area is situated along the S most end of the lake.
The field site base and the accommodation blocks were
included in this study area.
Transitional Forest
This area of forest was situated along the W side of the
Lagoon and Mbopi trail, behind the field site base which was accessible via the
Arroyito trail. The Mboijaguar trail dissected the Cerrado and the Transitional
forest leading directly through the forest at the NE end of the lagoon.

The following covers all species seen during my
visit to Laguna Blanca. Some species were seen outside of McMillan survey days
and others on land which was not included in the surveys due to locality and having
regular access. An abundance rating is not shown for these species but a high
count and date of such is included.
McMillan Abundance Rating Key:
C = Common (recorded in over 60% of lists)
U = Uncommon (recorded in over 20% and under 60% of
lists)
R = Rare (recorded in under 20% of lists)
1 = Single record (Very rare species for reserve).
- = Not
recorded during a survey day.
