Hello! Today, I'm taking a flight to Sao Paulo. There, on Friday, I shall take another flight to the Carajás National Forest. It is NOT a "National Park" - It is a National Forest...because, it is also the place for the Largest Iron mine in the world! So, due to this economical activity, it has an specific designation... I will have two guests from Germany... They are NOT hardcore birders - But, still we shall see LOTS of birds! Cheerio! Paulo Boute. | ||

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! Paulo Boute. | ||

A Great Bird to Watch in Brazil: Aplomado Falcon! About a month ago, I had several of those , in just one trip...I kind of lost count...It was more than 06 (six) sights...Then, two weeks ago, when I started a new tour, doing about the same itinerary I told my guests how "easy" was to see the Aplomado Falcon around...BIG MISTAKE! We didn't see any!!! Well, I broke a "Holy" Rule in Birding: "Never count on Birds" ! The following day, my guests left Mato Grosso, I had the Aplomado Falcon, for the VERY FIRST TIME, seen from my GARDEN in TOWN!!! Very Best Regards, Paulo Boute. | ||

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. | ||

| Hello! There very few places where the weather is no nice for birding , such as the NATIONAL PARK OF CHAPADA DOS GUIMARÃES. It is a such lovely place, with very nice accommodations & wonderful food – Not mentioning the ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BIRDS. Here, in Chapada, where – Actually, I’m birding & writing my BLOG, its possible to have the Brazilian Cerrado ( Savanah) specialties such the White-banded & White-rumped Tanagers and Amazonian Birds, as well such the Fiery-capped & Band-tailed Manakins! Great Weekend to Everyone! Yours, Paulo. | ||

Hello! Today, I would like to share a VERY IMPORTANT information about the Brazilian Rules for Protecting Nature. It is, TOTALLY FORBIDEN, to collect feathers in Brazil. Doesn't mind if, you found it on the ground... Since feathers are an important nesting material, used mainly at the bottom of the nest to keep the chicks warm , we are supposed to leave them to the birds to collect it. In time: 1- I had a "private performance" yesterday watching a Thrush-Like Wren to bring a beautiful white feather to its nest & to bring it inside... 2 - As I write these words a White-Wedged Piculet sings outside my window... Enjoy the Weekend! Yours, Paulo Boute. | ||

Hello ! Well, after a few days away...I'm deligthed in being able to share a great moment, I had three days ago, when I was co-leading a trip to the Pantanal with Bret Withney ( Field Guides Inc.). I had my very first Spectacled Owl at the Pantanal! This was a wonderful thing for everyone since we could watch this bird, properly, at Serra das Araras. I NEVER heard of someone or read a trip report, talking about this Owl at the Pantanal. For the record: We were in a very isolated area & stayed on a lodge , unfortunately, very poorly explored by birders: www.ilhadocaracara.com.br Enjoy the Weekend! Paulo Boute.

The Lodge is about to build a look out for the nesting area & the entire forest around it. Hopefully, it will turn to be easier to find the Harpy... May you all have a nice day & Great Week!

Hello! Great News!!! The Harpy Eagles are being seen, quite often at the grounds of the hotel FLORESTA AMAZONICA, at the village of Alta Floresta, at the State of MATO GROSSO! I spent about a week at the Cristalino Jungle Lodge but, only saw the Harpy in town! Explanation: The hotel has a forest patch where the Harpy Eagles, raised a chick last year. The Junvenal is still around the nesting area, being seen - even at the grounds of the hotel such the swimming pool area & parking lot... Cheerio! Paulo Boute. | ||

Hello!
Great News: Me and a couple of birders from BELGIUM, had a chance to watch & photograph a BLACK-AND-WHITE HAWK-EAGLE at the Pantanal.
This was my second sight at the Pantanal, despite of birding there for 26 years!!!
That is a RARE Bird!!!
Cheerio!
