Brazil; Serra do Japi

We had one day out during our time in Itatiba. We visited a nearby fragment of Atlantic Forest where there were a few nice bits, but it was just nice to be out birding in some natural habitat. The mountains are covered in forest, athough there are large stands of Eucalyptus due to previous coal mining activites. There were a few species we wanted to see, but we missed all of them. It was good to see some Atlantic Forest tanagers like Brassy-breasted again, as well as a few Antbirds and Hummingbirds. On the drive up we also spotted a few Dusky-legged Guans on the side of the road, which was good to see.
