Aplomado Falcon

A Great Bird to Watch in Brazil: Aplomado Falcon!

About a month ago, I had several of those , in  just one trip…I kind of lost count…It was more than 06 (six) sights…Then, two weeks ago, when  I started a new tour, doing about the same itinerary I told my guests how “easy” was to see the Aplomado Falcon around…BIG MISTAKE!  We didn’t see any!!!

Well, I broke a “Holy” Rule in Birding: “Never count on Birds” !

The following day, my guests left Mato Grosso, I had the Aplomado Falcon, for the VERY FIRST TIME, seen from my GARDEN in TOWN!!!

Very Best Regards,

Paulo Boute.

Pavonine Cuckoo # 2.

Hello !

The Pavonine Cuckoo seen at Chapada was photographed!

But, it will take a few days for my guest to check how good they are, since he needs – first – catch up with his Job!

But , I will keep you all posted, about it.

Best Regards,

PAVONINE CUCKOO!

PAVONINE CUCKOO!

 

Hello!

 

One of the rarest birds to be seen in Brazil, specially, at the State of Mato Grosso is the PAVONINE CUCKOO.

But, sometimes, you can have great surprises can happen: Last week, me &  my guests had a PAVONINE CUCKOO, right in the middle of a back road at the NATIONAL PARK OF CHAPADA DOS GUIMARÃES. It was having a dust bath. It is a bird that likes that & I have heard of other reports about finding the bird on such situation.

Ýou want to call that luck? I would prefer to call: GOD SENT CREATURE!

 

May you all have a Great Week!

 

Yours,

Birding in Chapada dos Guimarães National Park.

Hello!

 

There very few places where the weather is no nice for birding , such as the NATIONAL PARK OF CHAPADA DOS GUIMARÃES.

It is a such lovely place, with very nice accommodations & wonderful food – Not mentioning the ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BIRDS.

Here, in Chapada, where – Actually, I’m birding & writing my BLOG, its possible to have the Brazilian Cerrado ( Savanah) specialties such the White-banded & White-rumped Tanagers and Amazonian Birds, as well such the Fiery-capped & Band-tailed Manakins!

 

Great Weekend to Everyone!

 

Yours,

 

Paulo.
