South-eastern Brazil December 9th - January 18th 2010

North-east Brazil February 12-March 11, 2009
- The most important comment to make about this trip is that the birding was fantastic. In 27 days we saw 475 species, and nearly every one very well. Of these, 98 were Brazilian endemics, many found only in Northeast Brazil.....Marlene and Gary Babic report.
Northeast Brazil November 2008 
- The far north-eastern edge of South America harbours one of the most poorly known avifaunas in the Neotropics. This remote corner of Brazil was until recently a seldom-visited part of the country, but birders are nowadays drawn from far and wide with the discovery of many new species, not least of these being the superb recently described Araripe Manakin...Jan Vermeulen reports.
Brazil, Parque do Zizo 18th October-23rd November 2008

Brazil
- Atlantic Rain Forest November 2005
- On arrival at Rio de Janiero 5 hours late we
were picked up by our taxi driver & driven approximately
100 Kms to the lodge. One of my main memories of Rio was the
large numbers of Magnificent Frigatebirds wheeling around. It
took about 2hrs to get to Serra dos Tucanos....Chris Padley reports.

Brazil and Pantanal Aug 27-Sept 31,
2005

Southeastern Brazil is between September and November. This is
the austral spring, so more birds are calling. Best time to visit
the Pantanal is in the dry period, roughly from May to October....Remco
Hoffland reports
South-east
Brazil 25/09 to 30/10 2005
- If we consider
the length of our stay we didn’t see too many species
with a total of 394; but....we decided to take our time and
enjoy the places that we liked; anyway we are very satisfied
with 63 endemics, particularly the Antwrens and Antbirds,
and 152 lifers..Noëlle
and Hervé Jacob report.
Brazil 2
- 31 July 2005
- Bird activity
was even higher and we noted nearly 80 species. Most remarkable
amongst them were Brown Tinamou (HO), Mantled Hawk, Dusky-legged
Guan, Picazuro Pigeon, Least Pygmy-Owl....Peter
Collaerts reports
North-east
Brazil April 2004 & May
2005
- As always, the
goal of my trips to the NE was to see as many species as possible,
especially the 63+ endemics to NE Brazil. It is impossible
to cover whole endemic-packed Northeast in 2 weeks, so in 2004
I only birded Bahia state. In 2005 I birded coastal Pernambuco,
Alagoas, Paraiba, Rio Grande do Norte...big report with
maps by Eduard
Sangster.
Natal, Rio Grande do Norte (province),
Brazil December 2004
- My wife and I spent two weeks - Dec.
6 - 20 - at Ponta Negra, Brazil. It was never meant to be a birding
trip, and it wasnt, but I took time many early mornings as well
as some afternoons to "explore" the outskirts of the town, other
days I just walked south from our hotel to some trees and gardens
and every time I saw some "new" birds....Jan Landsverk

Brazil, ( Pantanal, Rio
Cristalino, Atlantic forests and Espirito Santo)
18 October – 30 November 2004 
- Having only visited South America once,
there were several endemic South American families that
we had not encountered. We therefore planned an extended
trip to Brazil that would offer the chance of 5 new families,
a host of species and some of the rarest and most beautiful
birds on the planet...Graeme Wallace reports.

Brazil 2nd
September- 27th September 04 
- In the afternoon birded hotel grounds, where

were, Golden-hevroned, Palm, Sayaca, and Swallow Tanager, Chestnut-bellied,
Pale-breasted and Yellow-legged Thrush.....Trev Feltham

South-east Brazil,
Minais Gerais and Mato Grosso 24-07
to 12-08-2004
- It was our first visit to this huge
country and our main goal was to observe a large percentage
of the atlantic forest endemics in the area between São
Paulo and Rio, to visit Canastra NP to find the Brazilian
Merganser and the Pantanal region for the spectacular Hyacinth
Macaw...Henk Hendriks reports

Cristalino Jungle Lodge and Alta Floresta, Brazil April
- June 2004
- Most birders who come to Cristalino
spend far too little time there - usually a week or
less - and only see a small fraction of the birds
present. Whilst the cost of staying a few extra days
may seem prohibitive, the rewards are well worth
considering.... The 50m-tall tower is higher than
any of the nearby trees and offers fantastic opportunities
to see canopy birds well...Frank Lambert
and Joe Tobias

and good maps.....Eduard Sangster reports
