<\/a>We left theRufous-fronted Thornbird and a little way up the road Geiser tried Rufous-winged Antshrike. It appeared, but in an area not very good for photographs. We drove a little more on the road and tried the Cinereous Warbling-Finch, but it didn’t show up.<\/p>\n But in the same area, a Plain-crested Elaenia, Elaenia cristata, sang around us. I made my first picture of this bird. But still this day I would get better photo of it.<\/p>\n We stayed in this area some time, and we started returning all the way down in the road, and in some point, we saw a Giant Cowbird, Molothrus oryzivorus.<\/p>\n We continued down the road, and on my left side on the road I saw thisGolden-capped Parakeet, Aratinga auricapillus. It was quiet on a bush. I went into the ground and began to shoot from afar. I approached taking one or twopictures every step. Until I could get very close. Then I realized they were three, two of them were feeding on the ground.<\/p>\n Very close to it, there was two Peach-fronted Parakeet, Aratinga aurea,feeding on the ground.<\/p>\n After the photos of Parakeets, we continue the path towards the RPPN Cachoeira do Serrad\u00e3o, a private property.<\/p>\n On the way, this beautiful Savanna Hawk, Heterospizias meridionalis, watched the moving around, probably looking for food.<\/p>\n We arrived there around 09:00 am. Each visitor must pay a fee of R$ 10.00. In the ordinance, we were received by a friendly man, Mr Flauzino. We talked a little about animals, and he proudly showed some photos he made of the King Vulture.<\/p>\n We started down the trail.At the beginning of it we heard the Brown-crested Flycatcher,Myiarchus tyrannulus. It was very close to the trail, and after playing it back it came and stood right next to us.<\/p>\n This trail is a good place for birding, and we could see some very nice ones. See the pictures below.<\/p>\n Besides birds, we could saw some spiders and butterflies.<\/p>\n After this photos, we started returning. And on our way back to the entrance of the RPPN, we saw some birds.<\/p>\n After photographing on this amazing place, we returned to the city to have some lunch.<\/p>\n After that, we decided to go to aneighboring town, to see some hummimbirds. There is a place on Vargem Bonita city that a man feeds them. So, it’s easy to see some of them.<\/p>\n With the hummimbirds, we finished the first day birding in the amazing place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
