ARACAJÚ.

Hello!
Aracajú is the capital of the State of Sergipe.
Sergipe is the smallest State of Brazil, being located on the Northeast part of the country.
Aracajú is an indian name that means "Macaws on the Cashew Nut Tree". Surely, there are lots of Cashew Nuts Trees around here. We can't say the same of the Macaws...
There are the Red-shouldered Macaws in the area...I would say there are nearly commom.
There is a monument in town, showing Red-and-Green Macaws, together with some "Cashew Apples". But they are not in the area.
I , strongly, believe : Aracajú will be in a near future a great gateway for birders willing to bird in the Brazilian Northeast.
