The tour started at Porto Alegre’s airport in the morning of October 24th. After meeting the group, we took the van and drove up the hills in Rio Grande do Sul (Serra Gaúcha) to reach Ana Rech in the surroundings of Caxias do Sul for a one-night stay at the very nice Hospedaria Rio do Vento, which garden already provided the welcome with Olive Spinetail and the stunning Chestnut-backed Tanager. For the afternoon birding, we visited the beautiful area of Canyon Palanquinhos, a mixed of grasslands and Araucaria woods that offered us a great time and some very special birds: endemics Striolated Tit-Spinetail and the rare Tropeiro Seedeater, plus Short-tailed Hawk, Green-barred Woodpecker, Campo Flickers, Buff-necked, Bare-faced and White-faced Ibises, Green-billed Toucan, Chimango Caracara, Maroon-bellied Parakeet, distant view of Vinaceous-breasted Amazon, Firewood Gatherer, Planalto Tyrannulet, Small-billed and Olivaceous Elaenias, Crested Black Tyrant, Blue Manakin, Yellow-rumped Marshbird, Lesser Grass Finch, Grey-throated Warbling Finch and Diademed Tanager. Later we had a delicious pizza for dinner.
With a successful time at Palaquinhos on the previous day, we departed after breakfast from Ana Rech to Vacaria (further north in the state) having the late morning in the field, the whole afternoon and some hours of the evening, mainly covering open marshy habitats around Macena. Birding near Vacaria was again very rewarding as we saw several targets and other cool birds: Yellow-billed Teal, Glittering-bellied Emerald, Slaty-breasted Wood Rail, Long-winged Harrier, Savanna Hawk, Aplomado Falcon, Monk Parakeet, Pileated Parrot, endemic Long-tailed Cinclodes, Freckle-breasted Thornbird, uncommon Straight-billed Reedhaunter, Rufous-capped Antshrike, White-crested Tyrannulet, stunning Black-and-white Monjita, Tawny-headed Swallow, the rare Saffron-cowled Blackbird (the first ones of the trip), Pampa and Lesser Grass Finches, Black-and-rufous Warbling Finch, Grassland Yellow Finch and the main star of the place, the tiny and very impressive Sickle-winged Nightjar (amazing views of both male and female).
We departed Vacaria after an early breakfast, heading southeast in the state to the famous birding area of São Francisco de Paula. We arrived in time to enjoy a late morning of birding, first an incredible stop at open marshy habitat and later at dense Atlantic Forest (with Araucaria). The open marshy pass-by simply offered a huge (over 70 birds) flock of the uncommon Saffron-cowled Blackbird, such a happy and long observations we got of that gorgeous species. There was more of Crested Black Tyrant and Straight-billed Reedhaunter. Later in the forest, which was already quiet, we managed some good sightings: White-rimmed Warbler, Rufous-tailed Antthrush, Variable Antshrike, female Blue-billed Black Tyrant, Golden-winged Cacique, Diademed Tanager and the shy endemic Blue-bellied Parrot. Lunch and hotel check-in in town, we visited in the afternoon the amazing Araucaria forest at Parador Hampel for a couple of hours. There we got excellent sightings of Araucaria Tit-Spinetails, Green-chinned Euphonias and a Ferruginous Pygmy Owl. Then deeper in the forest, we managed breath-taking views of Speckle-breasted Antpitta. All that followed by a nice tea and cake before we finish the day in a very special way, the sunset at Red-spectacled Amazon’s roosting site, very successful again, providing superb views and a true special moment with many of this uncommon southern endemic among the best-looking Amazons. At same site, we still had White Woodpecker, Plumbeous Rail and Yellow Armadillo.
We started the day with great sightings of the Atlantic Forest endemic (and another fine Araucaria dweller) Vinaceous-breasted Amazon, in Araucaria and other trees around Parador Hampel. Scaly-headed Parrot and a group of Azure Jay made present there too. From there, we experienced an exceptional morning of birding in the gorgeous Araucaria Forest from São Francisco de Paula National Forest: Blue-bellied Parrot (better and long views), Grey-bellied Spinetail, Black-throated Trogon, White-spotted Woodpecker, Maroon-bellied Parakeet, Brown-breasted Bamboo Tyrant, Rufous-tailed Attila, stunning Purple-crowned Plovercrest; Scalloped Woodcreeper, Sharp-billed Treehunter, Olive Spinetail, Rufous-breasted Leaftosser, Grey-throated Warbling Finch, Olivaceous Elaenia, Greenish and Mottle-cheeked Tyrannulets, Mottled Piculet and the rare Black-capped Piprites. Driving through open habitats around the National Forest, we still spotted Pampa Finch, Red-spectacled Amazons, Ibises, Hooded Siskins and even a Long-tailed Cinclodes. After a nice lunch at Café Tainhas, we visited more Araucaria woodlands in the touristic little town of Cambará do Sul. There we managed decent looks at Planalto Tapaculo, Dusky-tailed Antbird, Blue-billed Black Tyrant and more of previously seen birds. Owling was included today and with a long effort, we got the desired view of Rusty-barred Owl that evening back in São Francisco de Paula. Overnight in São F. de Paula.
Today was a fantastic day of birding. Early departure heading to the coast in Rio Grande do Sul, we birded the Gentil Lagoon near Tramandaí, having a very enjoyable first session in the coastal Pampa zone. There we got Firewood Gatherers, Grassland Yellow Fiches, Brown-and-yellow Marshbirds, Southern Screamer, Whistling Heron, Long-winged Harrier, a juvenile Cinereous Harrier, White-faced Whistling Duck, Brazilian Teal, Pampa and Lesser Grass Finches, Scarlet Flycatcher, White Monjita, Campo Flicker, Pantanal (South American) Snipe, Crested Doradito (our main target), Wren-like Rushbird, Large-billed Tern, Yellow-chinned Spinetail, White-headed Marsh Tyrant, Tawny-headed Swallow, White-browed Blackbird, Chestnut-capped Blackbird (too many), Red-crested Cardinal and a nice pair of Long-tailed Reed Finch. After lunch in Nova Tramandaí, we continued south with a quick stop near Cidreira, a site where we had the uncommon Glaucous-blue Grosbeak and few others like, Gilded Sapphire, Silver Teal, White-backed Stilt and nice looks at Giant Wood Rail. Heading to Mostardas, the open fields provided much more to watch, like Maguari Storks, Great Egrets, Cocoi Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, Savanna Hawks, some Greater Rheas, Red-crested Cardinals and thousands Chestnut-capped Blackbirds. Approaching Mostardas after three pm, we went straight for birding at Porto do Barquinho, a beautiful site by the Lagoa dos Patos.

Today we had a full day of birding covering the wonderful Lagoa do Peixe National Park. In the morning, we did the edge of the proper lagoon along the Talha Mar Track, what a place.

Back to Mostardas for lunch and siesta. The afternoon session happened along the Dunas Track in the National Park near Mostardas (the road that cuts the habitats until reaching the beach at Balneário Mostardense). We had a great time in that beautiful place.

We left the Pantanal with more of the typical sightings – Greater Rheas, Savanna Hawks, Seriema, Herons, etc. Then we had a long drive north, crossing the border into Goiás state, more precisely at the little town of Chapadão do Céu. We arrived in time for about an hour birding next to the town in marshy grassland habitat, a site where we found a bunch of Seedeaters, including several Pearly-bellied Seedeater, a few Chestnut Seedeater and the common Double-collared Seedeater; Streamer-tailed Tyrant, White-tailed Goldenthroat, White-tailed Hawk, White-headed Marsh Tyrant, Yellow-rumped Marshbird, Barn Swallow, Grassland Sparrow, Lesser Grass Finch and Horned Screamer.

Entering the park, first stop was right next to the gate, to meet Nena our lovely local guide and to see some of the good birds that were already calling around the entrance buildings, such as Curl-crested Jay, Black-throated Saltator and a couple Large-billed Antwren.

By mid-morning, finally at Jacubinha, e visited a narrow gallery forest with seeding bamboo, a site where we got a pair of the very rare endemic Cone-billed Tanager. Great views of the responsive male; female shier in the background. There we also had Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Chestnut-bellied Seed Finch, Plumbeous Seedeater, Barred Antshrike and a glimpse on a Helmeted Manakin.

Time for a delicious and relaxing lunch at Nena’s house in the park. Afternoon session started well in typical Cerrado next to the headquarters, with a smart male Coal-crested Finch. Later we moved to the Brigadista Trail in the gallery forest of Rio Formoso. There we got the endemic White-striped Warbler, better views of Helmeted Manakin; Blond-crested Woodpecker and the uncommon Planalto Foliage-gleaner. Cerrado nearby provided Crane Hawk, nice looks at Caatinga Puffbird and at a group of Yellow-faced Parrot. We finished the in open grasslands deep in the park, hearing the very shy Lesser Nothura and watching the tiny (and rare) couple of Bearded Tachuri. At night, we delighted at least six sightings of the rare White-winged Nightjar (mostly females) along the open grasslands, simply fantastic. What a first day in Emas!

In the evening, we repeated the night birding, having more sightings of White-winged Nightjars. Overnight in Chapadão do Céu.
Finishing our superb time in Emas, we had a very pleasant morning doing a southwest loop (more in typical Cerrado) and later sometime in the gallery forest from Brigadista Trail.
