🦜Our Brazil 12-day Southeast Atlantic Forest birdi

🦜Our Brazil 12-day Southeast Atlantic Forest birding tour explores one of the richest and most imperiled ecosystems on the planet.

🇧🇷 Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is famed for its high levels of endemism, spectacular color, and exceptional bird diversity, offering an unforgettable experience for birders seeking both iconic and localized species.

🗺️ Our route has been carefully designed to sample a wide range of Atlantic Forest habitats, from lowland wetlands and bamboo thickets to foothill forests and montane reserves. We visit premier birding locations, including REGUA, Itatiaia National Park, Ubatuba, Macuquinho Lodge, Peruíbe, and Intervales — each known for its outstanding species diversity and excellent access.

🎯 Target Species (just a few!)
Black-and-Gold Cotinga, Saffron Toucanet, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Blond-crested Woodpecker, Gilt-edged Tanager, Red-breasted Toucan, Frilled Coquette, Green-crowned Plovercrest, Green-headed Tanager, Swallow-tailed Manakin, Brown Tinamou, Pavonine Cuckoo, Great Dusky Swift, Saw-billed Hermit, Festive Coquette, Ash-throated Crake, White Woodpecker, Crescent-chested Puffbird, Campo Flicker, Spotted Bamboowren, Squamate Antbird, White-shouldered Fire-eye, Firewood-gatherer, Orange-breasted Thornbird, Curl-crested Jay, Blacksmith Thrush

Registration closes April 30th!

We had a fantastic group for our first ever Birding with the Mayor!

Thanks to everyone who joined us and shared in the fun while we explored the beautiful trails of Cheseboro Canyon, and detected 31 species of birds together!

Can you name any of the birds featured in the video?

Join us next time in May!
