Harpy Eagle - As good as it gets!

Hello from Ubatuba!

But, today I want to talk about SERRA DAS ARARAS & its wonderful Harpy Eagle nest:

It is as good as it gets.

The chick is totally visible & constantly with one of the parents at the nest!!!

It can be seen from the ground near the nest and also from the "Observatory Paulo Boute".

May you all have a nice day & wonderful week!

Yours,

Birdwatching Growing in Brazil !!!

Hello!

Good News: Birdwatching is growing in Brazil!
Many Brazilians are learning about Birdwatching, which is still poorly known as a hobby in Brazil & not fashionable at all!
Some students are devoting their time to learn about birds & starting working as bird guides and some other people are building facilities for birdwatchers, which is the particular case of :

Twitter or not Twitter

Hello!

I decided to join Twitter. It seems to be a great way to be in touch with lots of people.
It may help me to be up dated with my readers about special bird sights.
Today, I'm in Sao Paulo for a Tourism Convention. Next week, I will start a BIG tour, for two weeks: Mato Grosso and Atlantic Forest, ending in Rio.

Very Best Regards,

Paulo.

Memorable Tours & Guests.

Just got back from two tours in a row!

Long days with early starts & late returns.

But, my guests deserved my best - Very nice people & wonderful travel companions:

Derek & April + Robert & Kurt.

We did about the same itinerary - It was also great to meet the local people in such short period of time - They liked it very much so, do I.

I wish everyone a glorious week!

Yours,

Paulo Boute.

Welcome come Back Home - To me !!!

A great Highlight were the Lear's Macaws - Fantastic Views : Flying & perched and also it was very nice to see Mealy Parrots in the Coast of the State of Sao Paulo and later at the Coast of Sergipe!

May all of you have a nice day & wonderful week!

Yours,

Hello from Ubatuba.

Dear All,

Ubatuba is being Great!!!

Lots of Sun & Birds!

The best , so far, is being the Eye-ringed Tody-Tyrant - Very Rare & Very restricted Range too!

Today, besides, birds we will swin in the ocean...The restaurant is located on an isolated beach & it will be a great way to "kill time" after ordering our meal...But, we will keep an eye on Brown Bobbies!

White-necked Kite

Hello!


Just got back from my Northeast Trip - What a wonderful birding time!

We got lots of birds such the Hooded Visobearer and the White-necked Kite, possibly, the most rare bird of prey of the world!

Enjoy the weekend!
