p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Brazil - 409 Bird Species in 14 Days

Congratulations to jfwoodman for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 24 votes - View Previous Winners

My son and I spent two weeks in July in three locations in Brazil: Southern edge of Amazon, the Pantanal, and the Atlantic forest outside Rio de Janeiro. We saw more bird species in two weeks than we've seen in USA since we started keeping a list. We did not have time to pursue the jaguar (next time), but the variety of flora and fauna was incredible. Hope to go back one day!

Here are a few shots from the trip. Thanks for looking!

Impressive photos - and even more impressive # of birds. One can fill its Big Year with only one trip

Beautiful set, I was in Colombia for 3 months and did not take any gear. I am kicking myself...

I'm glad you enjoyed them. Brazil is such a big country, we only scratched the surface. Hope to get back myself one day.

Ha! Good call. I thought about putting all 409 in one post.

Sadly, with forest birding, many were seen and NOT photographed.

Much appreciated, Ron. Those Hyacinths were the star of the show in terms of Pantanal birds.
