UPDATE: The biggest bird news in northern Mato Grosso from the past few months is the re-nesting of the Alta Floresta Harpy Eagles. The pair are currently (March 2009) caring for a one-month old chick, and the adult female is easily seen on a daily basis. During a recent visit we witnessed a spectacular show as the female acted agressively toward the male, chasing him from the nest and opening her impressive wings in a daunting threat display.

If everything goes well, we can expect Harpy Eagle to be reliable in Alta Floresta throughout 2009 - book your trips to the world's most accessible Harpy nest right now!
