Juancho –
Just checked out the Aves de Lima website; thanks for recommending it. I never thought there was such much birdlife in Lima, but the photos on the site prove otherwise. I’m very taken with the picture of the Peruvian Owl — I wonder if there are any in Miraflores.

I enjoyed reading through the August entries on your blog. Those video links to old films about Lima are fascinating glimpses of the city’s past. How remarkable that the one film is shot inside the house that you always wondered about.

Readers: If you have more websites or books about birding in Peru to recommend, please follow Juancho’s lead and post them here for others to enjoy.

Barbara,

I might add the website Aves de Lima http://www.avesdelima.com/ to your list.

I’d also recommend the book by the same name published by the author of the website. I bought a copy of it at the Ibero bookstore in Miraflores on my stay in Lima, and wasn’t disappointed. It’s an easy-to use guide, even for a novice like me.

Just checked out the Kukuli trailer. It seems to be a powerful film. Would love to get a copy on DVD (an authentic/official copy, not a black market one). Do they exist?

In the film it looks like some guy dressed as an ukuku stalks a woman, hits her on the head and starts carrying her to a mountaintop (a sacrifice). Is that the storyline?

And I don’t know what the film has to do with a kukuli. Maybe the title refers to the female protagonist — she’s the innocent mourning dove?

Alejandro — you’re welcome. Nice lyrics from Chabuca Grande. El Fotografo read them last night and commented, “I think the cuculis are making the window tremble because they’re always out there mating.” I don’t think that’s what CB had in mind, though when she wrote the song.

La cuculí is mourning dove, I never knew that. Now I understand that line from Chabuca Granda’s Fina Estampa:

“Y la cuculí se rie y la ventana se agita,
Cuando por esa vereda tu fina estampa pasea.”

Thanks for teaching me something today!

I had read the Peruvian government and the private sector were promoting birding tourism. Sounds like its a growth industry.

I don’t know if this is related, but there is a Peruvian film in Quechua from 1961 (the first ever one filmed entirely in Quechua) by the well-regarded Peruvian director Luís Figueroa. It’s based in Cuzco, and is considered one of those hidden gems of film. The reason I mention it is its name: Kukuli.

But, I don’t know if kukuli means mourning dove in Quechua. Here is a link to a video on You Tube: Kukuli

Saludos!
