Carmo
Satellite ViewThis is a reliable site for Three-toed Jacamar Jacamaralcyon tridactyla and Rio de Janeiro Antbird Cercomacra brasiliana. Take the road from Além Paraiba (on the Rio de Janeiro / Minas Gerais state border, where the BR 116 crosses the Rio Paraíba do Sul) to Carmo. Just as you get to Carmo, there is a petrol station on the left. Take the dirt road to the left, beside the petrol station. After 2.5km, when you get to a place with forest on both sides of the road, look for the jacamars. A good way to see them is by walking along the track to the right, just after the patch of forest, playing a tape to them from the hillside. 5.2km further on there is a wooden gate on the left. Rio de Janeiro Antbird can be found in the thick vegetation just before the gate and the jacamar is here too.
Itatiaia - Agulhas Negras Road
Satellite ViewThe upper part of the park is above the tree-line, but the road that takes you there starts within the forest. This road is famed for being one of the easiest places to find the Itatiaia Thistletail, but there are many other interesting birds to look for including White-rumped Hawk, Plovercrest, Araucária Tit-Spinetail, Black and Gold Cotinga, Black-capped Piprites, Serra do Mar Tyrannulet, Serra do Mar Tyrant-Mankin and Diademed Tanager. The Agulhas Negras road is accessed off the BR354 which in turn is accessed off the main Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo highway BR116 at turnoff 330A
Itatiaia - Lower Park
Satellite ViewThe first national park in Brazil, this magnificent place is a must for birders visiting south-east Brazil. The forest climbs from deep in the valley up to the tree-line, and the variety of birds that can be found is mouth-watering. There is good accommodation within the park, the main hotels being the Hotel Donati and the Hotel Ypê, the highest hotel in the park. There are excellent trails into the forest and birding from the main track can be rewarding. The main trail is the Três Picos trail where some of the sought after species can be found. The old Jeep Trail in Forrester's book can now only be accessed with written permission. The Hotel Ypê can arrange this.
Perequê
Satellite ViewThe best site for the Black-hooded Antwren Formicivora erythronotos is near the town of Perequê, between Paratí and Angra dos Reis. Turn inland off the BR-101 into the town of Perequê (first town west of the nuclear power station). Drive up the main street till the end of the asphalt (1.4 km) and turn right. Continue for several blocks and turn left immediately after the football pitch (“Campo da Gringa”) on the left (1km). Drive along a dirt road and after 1km Rick Simpson found a pair of antwrens in Jan 2009 Since then he has found them to be relatively common along the raod, listen for their distinctive song.
The ‘traditional’ spot for the antwrens is a further 4 kms along the road. After the third bridge there is an open shed on the right with a dirt track to the left in front of it; the site is 200m further along the main road, through a barbed wire gate on the right, with a big tree on the edge of the road (three different becards nest in this tree). The antwrens are not found along the track anymore, but it is well worth a walk as the birding is first class. Spotted Bamboowren, Orange-eyed Thornbird, Fork-tailed Tody-tyrant, Buff-bellied Puffbird, Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Robust Woodpecker, Black-throated Grosbeak can all be found.
Reserva Ecológica de Guapi-açu - REGUA
InformationSatellite View
REGUA is a non-governmental association with a mission to save the forests of the upper catchment of the Guapiassu river basin located within the municipality of Cachoeiras de Macacu in Rio de Janeiro state. The majority of the initial funding and direction for the project came from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Trust (BART), a UK based charity, but in 1996 the REGUA association was registered under Brazilian law and is now responsible for the management and development of the project. The association is comprised of local landowners and community members although BART maintains a close involvement in its management and funding.
At the new Schincariol brewery just south of Cachoeiras de Macacu, on the road from Niterói to Nova Friburgo, turn left onto the road to Guapi Mirim. After 3km, at Funchal, opposite the Shogum petrol station, turn right (north). Follow this dirt road for 11,3km and at a fork with a number of signs pointing right to Guapi Açu, bear left. Cross a bridge and continue straight ahead (do not turn left at sign to Fazenda São João). Pass the Schincariol water catchment dam and a small cemetery and after 6,3 km you reach the fazenda of Nicholas Locke (tel. 021-9986-4715); where REGUA has accomodation for visitors. REGUA's representative here in March 2006 was Alan Martin. The published list [420+] for the reserve can be seen on their website [see below].
Teresópolis - Garrafão
Satellite ViewThe place where Ricardo Parrini and a few others saw the Kinglet Calyptura Calyptura cristata in 1996 (no one has seen it since) is just before you get to Teresópolis, coming up the serra from Rio. 200m after the Garrafão petrol station, at a sharp left curve, turn right off the main road onto a rough track. Wind down the hill for about 500m. The calyptura was seen at a fork where the main track goes straight ahead and a paved track goes steeply down the hill to the right. This latter track goes through some good forest where there is a Dusky-throated Hermit Phaethornis squalidus lek.
Teresópolis - Parque Nacional da Serra Dos Orgãos
Satellite ViewYou can enter the park between 8:00 and 17:00. In July 1999 the cost for six people to camp one night on the Trilha da Pedra do Sino, leaving the car at the barragem (dam) was R$70 (US$35). The road up to the dam (about 2km) runs through good forest. Leave the car at the dam (altitude 1100m - 3,600ft). The walk to the first campsite at 1900m (6,200ft) takes three hours, without stopping. The second camp site is at 2100m (6,900ft) after a further 1 1/2 hours. There is excellent forest all the way up to the first camp site, the trees becoming lower as you get higher. Near the second camp site you get above the tree line. Hooded Berry-eater Carpornis cucullatus occurs up to about 1500m, Black-and-gold Cotinga Tijuca atra and Swallow-tailed Cotinga Phibalura flavirostris from 1500m to 1800m, and Grey-winged Cotinga Tijuca condita from 1800m upwards. Recently the most reliable place for Grey-winged Cotinga has been on the hillside opposite the first camp site.

WebsiteSatellite View
The Atlantic Rainforest, or the Mata Alantica of Brazil supports an incredibly diverse, unique and now highly threatened flora and forna. The destruction of this beautiful forest commenced with the colonisation of Brazil in the sixteenth century, but it was the massive destruction during the twentieth century from urban growth, industrialisation and farming practises that has really left us where we are today, with only 6% of the original forest remaining in total and just 2% in the lowlands...
Reserva Ecológica de Jacarepiá - Saquarema
Afastada do mar cerca de 1200 metros, a lagoa está cercada por extenso brejo que, em época chuvosa, consiste em área de imundação favorecendo uma flora e fauna bastante diversificada. Situada entre a lagoa e o mar, encontra-se a mata seca de restinga com árvores em torno de 20 metros, de troncos grossos e galhos repletos de epífitas, remanescentes de uma época passada, quando grandes trechos de restinga eram revestidos por pujante floresta, em muitos pontos interligados à Mata Atlântica, formando corredores por onde se cumpria o ciclo vital e evolutivo da migração das espécies da fauna regional, sendo algumas endêmicas, como o Mico-Leão-Dourado.Reserva Ecológica de Macaé de Cima
WebsiteAinda não existem estudos precisos sobre a fauna do JBRJ, salvo uma relação de aves aí observadas, com 138 espécies de 34 famílias. Entre 1940 e 1980, tais espécies foram catalogadas pelo ornitólogo Augusto Ruschi (1916-1986). Dentre elas citamos: periquitos, tucanos, maritacas, saíras, gaturanos, sanhaços, tiês e muitos outros pássaros que fazem seus ninhos nas árvores do Jardim.

2004 [January] - Richard Raby - In Search of the Grey-Winged Cotinga
ReportI was finally about to lead my first birding tour around my local patch, which for the past 15 years has been Rio state in South-eastern Brazil. Would the next 15 days be that of a pleasurable reward for all those long and arduous field-days spent discovering and exploring some of the new localities that we were about to visit?

The drive to Marica via Itaburai and thence south on a very bad road through the deforested lowlands was not especially birdy, particularly in the heat of the day, but was enlivened by a couple of flyover White Woodpeckers and studies of Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture....

ReportThe lodge benefits from secure, delightful grounds, and strategically placed hummingbird feeders and bunches of bananas that attract Tanagers etc. You can sit in a comfy chair on the veranda, drink in hand, and watch the exotics coming and going - very relaxing birding! Alternatively, you can spend hours trying to get good photos of the passerines that hardly ever stop moving for more than a few seconds!

ReportAfter spending a few months in 2006 working as volunteers at Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu (REGUA) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we decided to return there this year on a birding trip, but this time at the beginning of the austral summer. This enabled us to compare the birding here in October with the winter birding we experienced last year. On this trip we spent most of our time birding the trails at REGUA, but we also made of couple of excursions to nearby Vale das Taquaras at Rio Bonito de Cima, and Pico da Caledonia in search of high altitude species. Most nights we stayed at the excellent Guapi Assu Bird Lodge at REGUA...

2010 [March] - Lars Olausson & Hans-Erik Persson
ReportAfter having visited south east Asia and Africa several times in the last decade we decided it was time to do a family trip to South America. The question was - where to find a place that suited us all? We soon realized that Ubatuba in south-eastern Brazil with all its surrounding beaches and some birding hot spots close to the town was ideal. Though we have never been to South America the birding around the Posada’s Corner would be more than rewarding, with the possibility of new species almost everywhere...
2010 [November] - Gary & Marlene Babic
ReportOur guide for the trip was Ricardo Parrini, who is based in Rio de Janeiro, and we recommend him without reservation. His e-mail is: rparrini@hotmail.com. We flew into Rio, met Ricardo, picked up our rental car and followed the itinerary as detailed below. An important issue for our trip is that all rental car companies apply a very large surcharge if you want to drop off a car in a city other than where it is rented. Apparently each location is an individual business that has its own cars. It appears they have someone fly to the pickup city and drive the car back to the rental location...
