Birding in Mato Grosso and Brazil
Birdfinding information and guided tours in Amazonia and beyond
Latest updates:
May 6th: Two new departures on the Tours page, including another for the Rio Azul in November and a new tour for 2009, the Brazilian south in April. The interest that has been shown to date in the Rio Azul has been an encouraging sign for the further development of birding tourism in Mato Grosso. I spent most of April in the south and was, as usual, impressed with how good the birding is. Thus inspired, we decided to go ahead and offer a trip for next year. A report will soon follow...
March 22nd: 'Birding sites' updated with a section on the state of Goiás and Parque Nacional das Emas.
February 26th: Added to the trip reports page, a report from Colombia 2007 (admittedly outside the scope of the site, but it was a good trip) and another short report from the Fiery-tailed Awlbill twitch of 2006.
February 25th: Back from an unsuccessful trip to the south. Drove more than 3.000 km, saw one life bird (Giant Wood-Rail), the car broke down, the extreme south is suffering a massive drought, and I managed to dip Black-hooded Parakeet in an aviary. It's good to be home.
February 2nd: Welcome to Birding in Mato Grosso, a website dedicated to birding and birdfinding in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso and neighbouring sites in central Brazil. The website has a new address now: http://www.birdingmatogrosso.com
Please check back frequently as the site will be under constant construction throughout the next few months. Keep an eye open for new site info, trip reports, and tour offerings... and maybe even a photo or two.
Thanks for stopping by,
