PHOTO SUMMARY

Brazil: Pantanal, Amazon and Cerrado Birding Tour 3-17 July 2018

This report is by Andres Vasquez, the guide for this tour from Tropical Birding Tours

(www.tropicalbirding.com)

Introduction:

The following is a compilation of the best photos achieved during this tour that included birding in three different biomes of Central Brazil: two days in the dry scrubby Cerrado, six in the lush Amazon rainforest

and the other six along the open but super rich Pantanal. At the end of this report a full list of birds and

mammals recorded during the whole trip is included. This was a great tour organized by the Tropical

Audubon Society and operated by Tropical Birding Tours. Species names and general locations are provided for each photo along with some further information for some specific photos.

Highlights worth included: Greater Rhea, Hyacinth Macaws, Sungrebe, Sunbittern, 2 species of Curassow, Jabirus, King Vultures, great prolonged views of HARPY EAGLE!, Pheasent Cuckoo, the rare Green- tailed Goldenthroat, 8 species of puffbirds, 6 jacamars, 7 toucans, and 16 woodpeckers!, Cryptic Forest-Falcon, Kawall’s Parrot, Crimson-bellied Parakeets, 40 species of antbirds out of which Bare-faced Antbird was the favorite, Collared Crescentchest posing for photos, Ringed Antpipit, endless numbers of tyrant flycatchers and tanagers, Snow-capped Manakin (among 9 from that family), and JAGUARS, tons of Jaguars, 6 Brazilian Tapirs, various monkeys, etc.

THE CERRADO:

Black-throated Saltator in the Cerrado (above) and Flavescent Warbler in a nearby gallery forest

One of the Cerrado specialties is this White-rumped Tanager

Collared Crescentchest was one of the most desired targets on this trip for one of the

participants who

is chasing all the bird families in South America. We had to work a little for this

one since

it was not close to the main road and some bush wacking was required . Once we approached

close enough , the bird responded quite well and gave us great views, as you can see!

Another of the Crescentchest (above) ; and the not-easy -to-photograph Saffron-billed Sparrow

THE AMAZON:

En route to Cristalino Jungle Lodge we stopped for these Red-breasted Meadowlarks (above and below)

From the canopy tower we found tons of tanagers like this Black-faced Dacnis (above) and Turquoise Tanager (below)

Also flying close to eye-level we got Greater Yellow-headed Vulture (above) and Blue-and-yellow Macaws (below)

Crimson-bellied Parakeets (above) were found near a small clay pond where they regularly descend into to ingest minerals. Forest interior in the Amazon is challenging, to say the least, in terms of photo opportunities so I could not get

many photos while trying to show the birds to the participants but we managed a couple like the one below of the much sought after Amazonian Umbrellabird seen very well near a LEK inside the Ilha Ariosto on the Teles Pires River

Pied Puffbirds are regular along the Serra trails in open areas. Normally in the canopy, this individual was for a

change at eye-level and we did not complain about it.

While riding motorized canoes along the Cristalino River we got great birds that posed quite well for photos. This was the case for this ghostly Green Ibis (above) and the elegant Sunbittern (below)

This Harpy Eagle (above) was by a landslide the bird of the trip. We saw it right at dusk, when it was illuminated both

by the last rays of sun and the first of the moon. It was distant and dark so the photo is not great but you can get the idea. We saw it from the boat while returning to the lodge one afternoon that we decided to stay until late in the

forest looking for some nocturnal birds. We happily contemplated this beautiful huge raptor for several minutes before it flew away. Below you can see a Swallow-winged Puffbird, common near the dock at the lodge.

The beautiful White Hawk (above) was seen on the day we departed from Cristalino towards the Pantanal. That day we also found a pair of Black Hawk-Eagles, a lonely Gray-lined Hawk and a few Roadside Hawks for a very “raptory” day.

Below is the modest Blackish Nightjar that is sometimes found on the roofs of the staff cabins.

THE PANTANAL:

On the very first day of birding the Pantanal we found two of the most wanted creatures of the area, the weird-looking Giant Anteater (above) and the also quite unique Red-legged Seriema (below)

Driving near the shrinking ponds of Pousada Piuval we flushed a few Nacunda Nighthawks (below) and saw a ton of water related birds like this Bare-faced Ibis (above).

The stylish Long-tailed Ground-Dove above and two Buff-necked Ibis flying away close to dusk below

Not only big birds are attractive in the Pantanal , small passerines like this Rusty-collared Seedeater were also eye candy during our birding days. This was photographed close to dusk from the Transpantaneira highway.

The gallery forests near the rivers are home to Pale-legged Horneros (above) and Band-tailed Antbirds (below)

Gallery forests are also home to the sharp Helmeted Manakin, a bird that was a big target for most of the group. We

had great views both in the Pantanal and previously in the Cerrado but the photo opportunities were only good the day we birded the rich patch of forest near Hotel Pantanal Mato Grosso that sits on the border of the Pixaim River.

Among many other birds we found in this walk were this White-wedged Piculet (above) and Buff-breasted Wren (below)

From the same Hotel Pantanal Mato Grosso we took two boat rides that gave us great photography opportunities.

On the menu were superb birds like this American Pygmy-Kingfisher (above) and the always charismatic Black-capped Donacobius which loves the floating vegetation along the river. That day we saw all 5 kingfisher species too.

My favorite shot of the whole trip was the one above, this one of the ultra-cute White-headed Marsh-Tyrants ound in

gorgeous light one morning along the open grounds of the Pantanal. In the same bush a couple of minutes later we got this cooperative Grassland Sparrow, which is not as special-looking but was still nice to see.

Finally we made it to the Cuiaba River in the afternoon of day 13. The sandy beaches held populations of Large-billed and Yellow-billed Terns (above) plus Black Skimmers (below), Pied Lapwings and Collared Plovers.

That afternoon we found our first Jaguars (a total of 6 we saw on the tour). These photos are of the very first one .

The river also holds healthy populations of Giant Otters (above) that feed on the huge amount of large fish, shared with

tons of fishermen (tourists and local) and plenty of waterbirds like this young Rufescent Tiger-Heron (below).

We found a few new birds for the trip during our boat rides. In this case they were passerines in the form of Chotoy Spinetails (above) and White-browed Meadowlarks (below).

Three more individuals were seen during the next day. The one above was quite active and did several kill attempts on caimans and capybaras without success during the time we managed to watch it. The one below was more passive.

White searching for Jaguar we found this very cooperative Sungrebe (above) which was always on the shady side of the river. On the other hand, this young Boat-billed Heron alerted us of the presence of a Jaguar when it flew nervously to a

higher more exposed perch that its usual hidden roost.

Back on land, wit hin the grounds of our hotel we managed great views of these sought-after species: Hyacinth Macaw (above)

and the hulking Southern Screamer (below).

On the last morning of the trip Toco Toucans (above) finally decided to pose for photos; and on the way back to the city of Cuiaba we picked up birds like Subtropical Doradito plus we managed nice photos of Rusty-backed Antwren.

Final checklist of the tour:

We recorded a total of 482 species of birds during the tour , out of which 436 were birds seen , 40 were heard only (H) and 9 were seen only by the tour leader (L). We also recorded 25 species of mammals. The following is the final list of the trip:
