BRAZIL November 2008 |
We spent the afternoon/evening of November , 2008 plus most of the following day birding the Cerrado, Gallery Forest, and fields of the Chapada dos Guimaraes with Bradley Davis as our driver and guide - he is incredibly knowledgeable about the birds there and their vocalizations, and seemed to pull one specialty after another out of the brush and forest:
