Special thanks & congratulations to Rick Brown, the author of the pictures.
OCTOBER:
Our tour to Mato Grosso: October 14th.- 24th, was absolutely fantastic – Besides the Harpy Eagle at Serra das Araras ( video is avaible), the Pantanal gave us great moments, watching Tapirs (Videos available too) , Ocellots and Anacondas.
Due some recent rains the dust is over and the sky is blue again, without any smoke – The guest said they had the feeling they were in Paradise!
 
NOVEMBER:
This month we started having a tour at the Canastra National Park – May be the best month to visit this National Park.
The vegetations is very green & with lots of flowers – Of course, lots of birds too: Specially the Cock-tailed Tyrant, that  seems to be very active.
Surely, we will be back here in 2011.

DECEMBER:

This is a month  we don’t  get much less guests compared to other months…
May be one of the reasons is – there are very few trip reports of people that travelled to the Pantanal and Atlantic Forest that time of the year…
But, this December  we had just a couple of trips, and , they all were extremelly successful!
At the Pantanal, we had an Ocellot being watched for about 30 minutes – The Giant River Otters were “posing for photos” for about 40 minutes.  Birds were also very spectacular – three encounters with Harpy Eagle and Paulo Boute had a lifer for the Pantanal: Eastern Kingbird and his first pair of Royal Flycatcher at the Itatiaia National Park.
The same guests also had the very rare Russet-winged Spadebill.
All these events sounded like an early Christmas delivery!
