House Wren

Hello!

There is a House Wren at my yard.
Today, seems to be a very inspiring day for it! It has been singing all day long!!!
I love it!
This is a bird that has been following me all my life...At my childhood at the State of Paraná & many other places I lived....it's call is a bit different from the one in North America and Europe.
But, not less melodious.

Yours,

Paulo.

Barn Owls.

Hello !

I'm in Aracajú.
Tomorrow, I may go to Sao Paulo to start a trip to the Pantanal and Iguassu Falls.
But, the great event I want to mention was a couple of Barn Owls that I found, yesterday night.
There were fighting it air - right in front of me!!!
When they started flying away, I managed to bring one of them back by doing some pishing...
It came twice - The way it looked at an incredible that I will never forget !

Hello from Araripe!

Hello!

I'm back to Crasto - A lovely village, extremely close to the National Forest of Araripe.
This time I came guiding journalists interested on the Araripe Manakin & the National Forest of Araripe.
It rainned but, it wasn't a problem to film it & some of the other Caatinga Endemics such the Caating Antwren, Silvery-Cheeked , Caatinga Barred Antshrike.

I may leave tomorrow but, I'm already missing this wonderful place!!!

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!

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 :
