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:

      I just saw a documentary about Iguaçu Falls, and the Martins that fly through the waterfall to roost and the cliff side.

        I was at Iguaçu Falls last year, and I remember seeing a lot of swifts there. I don't recall any martins, but who knows?
