Sungrebes are usually rather hard to find, but they were remarkably common on our tour. We saw them several times a day at Fazenda San Francisco in the Pantanal. Photo by participant Bill Parkin.
This year’s tour was a bit unusual for me as we had to do it backwards, starting the tour in Minas Gerais where we usually end the tour, and ending with the Pantanal and Emas National Park where we usually start the tour, but the results were just as wonderful as they always are. In Minas Gerais two major stops provided us with a great number of endemics, at Cipo we came across the localized Hyacinth Visorbearer, Gray-backed Tachuri and Cinereous Warbling-finch, all of which was combined with breathtaking scenic beauty making for a great start of the tour. Our next stop was Caraca, an old monastery where we enjoyed stunning looks at Maned Wolf, Serra Antwren, Rock Tapaculo, Pale-throated Pampa-finch and a wealth of Atlantic Forest endemics that included Tufted Antshrike, Pin-tailed Manakin, White-bibbed Antbird and fabulous looks at Tawny-browed Owl.
We then had a drastic change of scenery as we transferred to the southern Pantanal and discovered why this area is so famous among wildlife enthusiasts. Here we also had two bases, with the first being the cozy family run lodge called Aguape, where we enjoyed great looks at Black-banded Owl, Chestnut-capped Foliage-gleaner, Blaze-winged Parakeets and more Hyacinth Macaws than you could count. Our second lodging was at Fazenda San Francisco, a massive farm that combines cattle ranching, rice farming and a large area that has been set aside for conservation, providing an amazing wildlife spectacle with Sungrebes swimming in the irrigation channels, Maguari and Jabiru storks ornamenting the rice fields and Jaguars and Ocelots leaving the reserve at night to hunt in the rice fields.
Our last stop, Emas National Park, can look dull and monotonous to those who look superficially but with careful inspection one finds that it is in fact bursting with life. Here we found some of the most charismatic flycatchers one could see, such as Cock-tailed Tyrant, Sharp-tailed Tyrant, Streamer-tailed Tyrant and the very scarce Bearded Tachuri. Other Cerrado specialties included Black-masked Finch, White-rumped Tanager, Curl-crested Jay and the endangered Yellow-faced Parrot. The tour also lived up to its reputation as one of the best tours for land mammals in South America, with an impressive mammal list that included Jaguars, Giant Anteaters, Giant Otters, Brazilian Tapir and Maned Wolf as the top five mammals in a list of 22 species seen.
I thoroughly enjoyed sharing some of the country’s culture, scenery and nature with you as well as learning a bit more about cultures so different from mine and I hope you all had a great time too.
Until we meet again,
Marcelo Padua
