Rainy Time...

Hello!
I'm at our branch office in Aracajú, State of Sergipe - Brazil.
The Weather Service is surprised with the amount of rain in the last days & low temperatures = about 18 C.
It is being the rainniest & coolest year ever recorded...
Any how, I'm glad my next Birding Trips in the Brazilian Northeast are all scheduled to start from November on...
Enjoy the weekend!

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,

Paulo Boute.
