Brazilian Atlantic Forests Host A Diverse And Exotic Array Of Birds, Here’s What I Got From There (34 Pics)
For the few of you who now know me, I love venturing deep into Latin American forests!
The things you see and hear in these lush green paradises are unlike anything you’d ever seen before. It is a different world altogether. I also love how, through responsible technology, it is possible to get a glimpse of these stunning wildlife gems.
After Costa Rica and Ecuador, I am excited to bring you the amazing wildlife from the Atlantic forests of Brazil.
Brazil has one of the most abundant bird diversities in the world. The avifauna of Brazil includes a total of 1822 confirmed species, of which 238 are endemic. Brazil’s biodiversity and ease of access to wildlife make it a trendy destination for bird photographers from around the world. Join us in a quest to see some of the most vibrant fauna that the country has to offer from the Atlantic rainforests to the coasts of Rio De Janeiro. Brazil hosts such extraordinarily different areas, from the vast Amazon Basin to the largest natural wetland area on Earth, the Pantanal, to the unique Atlantic Forests, which are home to some of the most threatened animals on the planet. On top of that, you have a myriad of other habitats, including wet montane forests, salt lagoons, and coastal scrub, to name a few. It gives you a good insight into the wide variety of Brazilian birding sites.
The Atlantic Forest region of Southeast Brazil is jam-packed full of amazingly colorful and confiding endemic bird species. The Atlantic Forest stretches for 1,500 square miles along the coast of Brazil, teeming with a vast array of plants, birds, and other wildlife.
All photos were taken with my trusted Canon 1Dx Mark ii and 600 mm lens.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Well I have never seen a magpie quite like that, so different to our Aussie maggies. Do these ons swoop too?
This is actually not a magpie, its a tanager. The color is akin to Magpies, hence the name :D

Number three, Festive Coquette, is he a hummingbird? The photo throws me because he doesn’t seem to have the body and short feathers of the hummers that we are familiar with in Northern NM. All these pics are spectacularly beautiful and astonishing. Great job.
Hello. We lived in Pernambuco, Brazil for 3 years. It's nice to see names for the avifauna we were able to enjoy during our stay. Thanks for sharing! KimRN/BSN
