Staying home has its advantages! A handsome Striped Owl (Asio clamator) was a nighttime visitor yesterday here in Alta Floresta in the Brazilian Amazon. If you can, stay home and stay safe!

This past November I was invited to scout the southern reaches of the Juruena National Park by ICMBio and the Flutuante Salto Augusto. This Cryptic Forest-Falcon was one of the many highlights of the visit. The elegant lodge and remote wilderness of Juruena NP are sure to put on the map in the very near future.

Tui Parakeet (Brotogeris sanctithomae).
A friendly parakeet of humid forests and flooded forests, common, along many Amazonian rivers.
Possible on our western Amazon itinerary.

As queimadas no Pantanal estão fora de controle, matando muitos animais e ameaçando as vidas de quem mora e trabalha na região. O Pantanal é tombado como Patrimônio Mundial pelo UNESCO e deve ser fonte de orgulho para todo brasileiro. Por favor, ajudem as pessoas que estão combatendo esses fogos, de forma totalmente voluntária, pela paixão que tem por este bioma fantástico.

Yellow-billed Cardinal feeding at a flowering Combretum (escova-de-macaco) in the northern Pantanal -- a common scene during the dry season. The native species of Combretum climbing bushes found in Brazil are magnets for a wide variety of birds when they are in flower.

While its rarer cousin the Hyacinth Macaw (admittedly a very handsome bird) gets more attention, for my money the Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) is the best looking macaw in Brazil... if I could choose a bird that best represents the state of Mato Grosso, this would be it. Loud, charismatic, and abundant in the open spaces of the cerrado and the dense forests of the Amazon, these macaws really grab your attention!

The unique Saw-billed Hermit is endemic to the lowland Atlantic rainforest found along the coastal plain and at the base of the Serra do Mar in eastern Brazil. Check out this slow-mo video to see how this tiny wonder of nature sips at the nectar from a homemade hummingbird feeder.

This is Cryptic Forest-Falcon (Micrastur mintoni), a discreet inhabitant of the dark forest.

This photo was taken in July 2016, when we were pleased to help our friend add hundreds of species from the Amazon during his Big Year and we are very honored to have contributed while he was trying to break the world record.

The world record of 6.852 species was set in 2016 by Arjan Dwarshuis, from the Netherlands.
