<\/a><\/p>\nBrazilian Tanager is so brilliant red it hurts the eye<\/p>\n Blue Dacnis are uber-pretty too. Here’s daddy dacnis feeding baby dacnis:<\/p>\n Young male<\/p>\n Mommy and daddy Dacnis<\/p>\n Ruby-crowned Tanager that never shows his ruby crown to humans<\/p>\n Golden-chevroned Tanager is rather subtle<\/p>\n Stunning Violaceous Euphonia<\/p>\n Pale-breasted Thrush – adult<\/p>\n Juvenile<\/p>\n Eventually we managed to drag ourselves away from the feeders, and headed over to Fazenda Angelim. Birding was excellent with several good birds – Buff-throated Purpletuft was the rarest, nice views but hard to photograph them high up in the canopy against bright sky. Other highlights included a Red-legged Honeycreeper, Rufous-backed Antthrush and many more. Full eBird checklist here.<\/p>\n Ferruginous Antbird<\/p>\n Flame-crested Tanager – showed very well but I failed to get a good, respectable photo of it<\/p>\n It is very beautiful even in blurry photos<\/p>\n Loads of cool Collared Swifts over the forest<\/p>\n After lunch I walked with Marco around the lodge and added a few more species, including this showy Scaled Antbird:<\/p>\n In the evening we went down to the beach. At sea we had Brown Booby, 3 American Royal Terns and Magnificent Frigatebirds. None were as beautiful as this stunning South American Kelp Gull. presumably 4th cycle:<\/p>\n In the mangroves and adjacent forest some nice birds inlcuding Black-throated Mango.
