Birding in Brazil – investigating a marsh area

Jun 172012

Today I went with some friends to a marsh area just besides the area I live.

It’s not a huge area, but it’s a nice area with some nice species. I’ve heard some Rails, such as the Plumbeous Rail and Spotted Rail. But could not get any photo yet.

Today, while there, I saw a group of about 50 White-browed Blackbird. A nice view. Hopefully soon I’ll post some photos of the Plumbeous Rail and/or Spotted Rail.
