Without a
guide, and therefore access to a number of the best trails, we took today a bit
easier than the previous two days. We walked a trail up to a watchtower on top
of one of the hills overlooking the pousada complex. Our plan was to hopefully
watch out for any raptors flying around, but sadly in the hour we spent at the top
we only saw a few vultures. The trail had some nice birds, including our first
Tityra of the trip with Black-capped Tityra. We also have Brown-breasted
Bamboo-Tyrant and a selection of the species we had got used to over the past
few days.
-Hangnest Tody-Tyrant
-Brown-breasted Bamboo-Tyrant
-Short-tailed Antthrush
-Black-capped Tityra
-Hooded Berryeater
-Rufous-breasted Leaftosser
In the afternoon
we birded from the road near our pousada. Although the woods were generally
quiet I had a fantastic surprise when I spotted a Brown Tinamou foraging in the
undergrowth at extremely close range. It moved just as I tried to get Lia onto
the bird, and we failed to get it out of the undergrowth. In the evening we
went out looking for owls but had very limited results with just Rusty-barred
Owl for our efforts. Although the bird showed well, we were optimistic of a
number of other species that did not materialize.

Day
34 18.03.2020
For our
last morning we birded the road next to our Pousada again. The birding was once
again excellent with a number of mixed flocks passing through and the constant
background noise of Furnarids and Tanagers. We saw the Brown Tinamou again as
it wandered across the road, and it was nice to see another Wing-barred Piprites,
this time part of a mixed flock and singing. We tried again for the
Purple-crowned Plovercrest to try and get some better photos but once again
only the unspectuacular young male would show in the open. We headed off after
lunch in order to make as much progress as possible to our destination for the
night of Campinas north of Sao Paulo.
-Star-throated Antwren
-Spot-billed Toucanette
-Pin-tailed Manakin
-Purple-crowned Plovercrest
