The amazing Slaty Bristlefront...and we saw it amazingly well! Photo by guide Marcelo Padua.
This short tour is a dream come true for many birders, as there are few places where one can spend so many days without having to change lodges and yet have such a productive trip. Getting settled into a room and not having to pack a suitcase every couple of days is a big appeal, and so is the fact that this tour is packed with Atlantic Forest endemics, many of which are extremely rare; several can be seen right on the grounds of our lodge.
I have to admit I was a little intimidated before leading this tour as John Rowlett had been guiding it for several years -- and so I especially wanted to make it a great one. Right off the bat we were faced with some unusually cold weather as an a typical cold front parked itself over Southeast Brazil for the entire duration of the tour! In spite of this challenge we did remarkably well with the many taxa endemic to the Atlantic forest that are possible here, and our results actually may have been helped by the overcast conditions we had during most days.
Itororo lodge is conveniently located near the town of Nova Friburgo, and although we stay very close to the town it really fells like we are hours away from civilization as the lodge is tucked into the mountains and the birding is fantastic right on the grounds. Several great species visit the feeders on a daily basis, among them Dusky-legged Guans, Saffron Toucanet, Green-headed Tanager, Scale-throated Hermit, and White-throated Hummingbird. The trail system from the lodge also produced memorable encounters with birds such as Half-collared Sparrow, Spot-winged Wood-Quail, Long-trained Nightjar, Variegated Antpitta and many others.
The lodge is also conveniently located to visit a variety of habitats and different altitude gradients, and we were able to run several daytrips to different birding sites, where we picked up a number of high-elevation species such as Itatiaia Spinetail, Bay-chested Warbling-Finch, and Black-and-gold Cotinga. Additionally, a visit to the lowlands at REGUA resulted in fabulous views of Unicolored Antwren, Sungrebe, White-flanked Antwren, and Scaled Antbird.
Other trails closer to the lodge made for some productive birding, too, with great looks at Slaty Bristlefront, Spot-billed Toucanet, Mantled Hawk, Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin, and a wide range flock birds seen a number of times.
We also took a full day to venture a bit further inland and came back having seen Serra Antwren, Three-toed Jacamar, Blue-winged Macaw, and several other species that inhabit more open country.
In spite of some challenging weather we came away with a lot of great birds, and I loved leading this tour and really look forward to doing it again next year!
Best to all, and good birding ahead,
Marcelo
