Ole-Ole-Ole-Olee - Brazil- Brazil

Just returned from a birding tour to Brazil - We saw around 400 species with about 210 lifers - met some wonderful folks on the trip and we both came home exhausted, but still feeling the excitement of seeing our first Jaguar!!!!

I plan to post a few of the 900 pictures I took during the trip as soon as I have time to select some of the better shots.

When we arrived home we found the White-crowned Sparrows had returned along with the Spotted-towhees.  We spotted  a couple of new species for the Oasis - Vesper and Fox Sparrows - certainly not as exotic as many of the Brazilian birds, but they are our birds in our home country so we can enjoy them as much as one of those skulking Antbirds of the tropics...
