Hello from the Araripe !

Hello !

Just arrived at the Araripe Mountain Range: The home of the Famous Araripe Manakin!

So far, we are having a wonderful time! Baturite was fantastic and the drive to here was also very good with Southern Porchard and a nesting pair of long-billed Wren. We also could find some Scarlet-throated Tanagers.

Yours,

House Wren.

Hello!

Two days ago, I had my first House Wren, at my new home.
For some reason, it haven't come back yet...
Let's hope it became a regular visitor...Eventually, I may place it a nesting box.

2009 - My Best Eagle Year - Ever!!!

Hello!

Well, 2010 is around the corner...But, I will have 2009 in a special place in my memory:

I never had seen so many Eagles in just one year - Neither in so many different places: In Mato Grosso I had seen there in four areas: Cristalino Jungle Lodge, Alta Floresta, Serra das Araras and Chapada dos Guimarães.
In Bahia: I found my first nest of the Black-Chested Buzzard-Eagle!!! I saw the parents and their Junvenal taking off...

For 2010, I have great expectations for Lifers - Specially, at the the Atlantic Forest of Bahia and also in Roraima - Where, I hope to be able to go back...

Yours,
