Hello !
I’m back to Mato Grosso for a birding trip to the Pantanal, Serra das Araras and Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park. Then, I will go to the city of Fortaleza, for a Photo Trip, at the Brazilian Northeast…
My previous trip to the Pantanal was, absolutely fantastic!!!
I had within an hour: Dark-throated Seedeater and Rufuous-rumped Seedeater.
Plus, my first lek – ever – for Buff-bellied Hermit.
On this trip, I will try to confirm a reliable spot for Red-winged Tinamou: According to a local cowboy, they come at the end of the day, to his back yard to be fed with his chickens !!!
Of course: Has to be seen to be believed – and, that is what I going to do!!!
Enjoy the Weekend!
Yours,
Paulo Boute.

Great News: Finally, we moved to a new office in Aracajú.
The nice thing about it is the breeze coming from the Ocean.
Here, we need no fan or AC.
There are a few birds around too: Swallow-tailed Hummingbird, Southern Lapwing and a pair of Great Kiskadees!!!
We might celebrate X-mas, with all the Family, here!
Yours,
Paulo Boute.
Hello!
I’m still in Boa Vista, the capital of the Brazilian State of Roraima, teaching birdwatching to the local community.
It is being great – They are very interested & learn quite fast. But, there is an amazing fact at this town: There is no House Sparrows!!!
I never had been to a Brazilian town , without House Sparrows before… May be the reason is because , this town is very isolated from any other town…
Boa Vista is located at the Amazon River Basin, but the vegetation around the city is mostly Savannas.
I wish everyone a great day & wonderful weekend!!!
Yours,
Paulo Boute.

Hello !
It’s being wonderful to be at the city of Boa Vista !
There are Tropical Mockingbirds – Everywhere !!!
Right now, sunrise time, they are calling a lot!!! I love their song.
The Tropical Mockingbird is a bird that I had seen only once before – At the Coast of Brazil.
But, here at the State of Roraima, they are found also inland – I will teach , during my BWD course, how blessed the local population is with such fact.
Yours,

It’s Breeding Time ! Hello ! I just got back from the Itatiaia National Park. The Itatiaia Spinetail is breeding – Not responding very well to playback. So, if you are planning to bird there within the next month…Please: Be patient! Thanks. Yours, Paulo Boute.
I’m back to Mato Grosso, after a three week trip to the Brazilian Northeast.
It was great: Hooded Berryeater & Cinnamon-vented Cotinga were great highlights, not mentioning the Araripe Manakin and hundreds of Lear’s Macaw.
I wish everyone a great weekend!!!
Yours,
Paulo Boute.
