Guira guira
We are in Brazil doing the trans-Pantanal highway and it is amazingly good for photography. This group of Guira Cuckoos is how we started our day this morning. We all thought they made great models.

We found a few pairs of these Black-capped Donacobius during our visit to Brazil. They like to hang out in the vegetation around ponds and really like to put on a show. The locals called them “police birds” because their calls sound something like a police siren.

Though this bird isn’t terribly flashy I was pretty excited to see it during our visit to the Pantanal. On my last visit to the area I was really looking for one and wasn’t able to find one so it was ever so sweet to find a couple this year.

We came across this Rufescent Tiger-Heron right at the end of the day during our visit to the Pantanal. This is a prime example of how most days end for me on a trip like this; desperately trying to get that one last shot before it is too dark. Lucky for me, this bird was one cool customer and held nice and still.

This Crab-eating Fox greeted us every morning at our first stop along the trans-Pantanal road during our visit to Brazil last month. It didn’t seem particularly shy but did seem to make some effort to keep a “safe distance.” Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see it actually live up to its name.
