Dear Ken and Katrina,
Whilst under the false impression we might be able to afford to travel to
Brazil this year to visit hubby’s family and do a bit of extra travel, I
compiled a bit of a list of websites related to Brazil – lucky you, if you get
there, the Pantanal would be really worth visiting – and of course the Amazon
region if you can get that far north.
Have fun!
regards,
Arwen
Firstly, if you want bird guides:
Birds of Brazil by Kevin Zimmer is supposed to be coming out “soon” (I wouldn’t
expect it anytime soon though) – I expect it will be really good guide when it
does come out so keep an eye on it.
Souza, Deodato. All the birds of Brazil: an identification guide. > (2006
second edition). 352 pp., colour illustrations, maps. AU$95.00 – available
through Andrew Isles Natural History Books
Websites (in no particular order, sorry, you’ll jst have to trawl through):
http://www.ararajuba.org.br/sbo/index.htm - Brazilian Ornithological
Association (Portuguese)
http://www.worldtwitch.com/brazil.htm - some useful links
http://www.avesfoto.com.br/ingles/bird.asp - I think there are pics and calls
on this site. Edson Endrigo I think would be a good contact.
http://www.avesdobrasil.com.br/ - in Portuguese, but if you understand a bit of
Spanish you’d probably make some sense of it

- someone’s blog I found – particularly good on Brasilia, which is where the
family is.
http://come.to/pantanal
http://www.eln.gov.br/Pass500/BIRDS/INDEX.HTM - good site but link not
currently working – keep trying – it was a site set up to celebrate 500 years
since the Portuguese went to Brazil.
