Wouldn’t you love to watch the sun go down at Cristalino Jungle Lodge in Brazil? Weekends come and weekends go. Don’t let this one pass without doing something special for yourself (or someone else). My weekend will be more for others as I work through a very busy time, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. Corey will still be trying to add the 300th Queens bird. Have you shared your guess of what it will be yet? How about you?

On June 12th, FIFA’s Football World Cup will kick off in Brazil, with the home side hosting Croatia for the opening match in Sao Paulo. Anticipation is building as the date approaches and football fans will soon be arriving in the city to pay homage at the birthplace of Brazil’s fabulous version of the beautiful game. Brazil will play in Gold, blue and green. Most of these are very common birds which are widely distributed throughout Brazil.

The new birds inhabit the southern portion of the Amazon, some only in Brazil but others in Bolivia and Peru as well. Maybe the name of this blog should be 10,015 birds. That would reflect the number of new species discovered in the Amazon rainforest over the past five years or so, according to scientists.

The Slaty-breasted Wood-Rail , Aramides saracura , was seen as the light was fading over the Botanical Gardens (Jardim do Botanico) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. These rails were featured in a 10,000 Birds post a few weeks ago. On that occasion, I was only able to photograph one of them. But this time, I was able to enjoy an intimate moment between the pair and would like to share it with you.
