I just got back from a marathon (2 weeks) session of birding in Brazil.
It was fantastic! We did the Pantanal, Chapada dos Guimaraes, and Emas National Park. Saw lots of interesting mammals, too: Giant Anteater, Crab-eating Fox, and Brazilian Tapir.
But the birds were the best. I also lugged a huge lens along and got some nice photos. If anyone's interested, here's a web page:
