[Passarinhando no Brasil] Lagoa dos Peixes, Tavares. RS

Last weekend I travelled to Lagoa dos Peixes, Tavares – RS, in the very south of Brazil.

It’s considered as a sanctuary for migrating birds. It’s a paradise for birding.

I have added below some of the images I captured during Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. I hope you enjoy.
