The walkway on the Brazilian side of Iguazu: our group enjoyed great looks at Great Dusky Swifts as they came in to roost behind the spectacular falls here. (Photo by participant Max Rodel)
This is always a great tour, birding three of the most spectacular venues in Brazil, and this year was no different. We started off at Intervales, a state park that together with two others is responsible for the conservation of the largest remaining tracts of Atlantic forest. The birding was great even before we got to the park, with Streamer-tailed Tyrants, Black Hawk-Eagle, and Red-legged Seriemas seen on our way there. But once we reached the park the birding was simply incredible. Staked out Tropical Screech-Owl, Red-and-white Crake, Common Potoo, and Red-ruffed Fruitcrow were some of goodies our local guides had reserved for us, and as the days went by we came across a soon-to-be-split taxon of bristlefront as well as White-breasted Tapaculo, Black-fronted Piping-Guans, and myriad spinetails, foliage-gleaners, and tanagers that had our heads spinning for a few days.
We then headed to Iguazu Falls, where we found another Black-fronted Piping-Guan but this time with chicks. We also saw the beautiful Creamy-bellied Gnatcatcher, the range-restricted Southern Bristle-Tyrant, and the endemic Uniform Finch along with many other goodies. But the true star of our visit was undoubtedly the falls in all of their splendor, with thousands of Great Dusky Swifts coming in to roost and a rare phenomenon that only occurs in clear, full-moon nights -- the silvery rainbows in the mist of the falls. I think we can all agree that this alone was worth the trip there.
Last but certainly not least we finished the tour in the Pantanal, where we woke up the first morning to hundreds of birds that ranged from whistling-ducks and Bare-faced Ibises to Jabirus, Greater Rheas, and Bare-faced Curassows. The birding was so good right at the lodge that we had a hard time getting away from the buildings on the first morning, but once we did we found such other great species as Band-tailed Antbirds, and Black-collared Hawks on a pleasant boat trip. Our remaining time in the Pantanal seemed to go by just a bit too quickly as we enjoyed good looks at Ruby Topaz Hummingbird, Zigzag and Boat-billed herons, and more woodpeckers than we could count. And as we sat there on the last night of the tour, I looked across the table and knew Pepe and I had ourselves become members of "Team Emerald!"
Thank you all for joining me and Pepe on this adventure. We look forward to birding with you again!
