Way down among the Brazillians, Coffee beans grow by the billions, So they’ve got to find those extra cups to fill, They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.… The Coffee Song lyrics ran like an earworm through my head as I prepared for my September trip to Brazil. Oh my gosh! 1,712 species, 12% of which are endemics.

Fast forward 8 years and I found myself in Brazil. They are often found in association with cattle and benefit in much the same way that egrets do. Red-legged Seriema, Cariama cristata , can be seen in Brazil and Uruguay and overlap with the Black-legged Seriema in Northern Argentina and Paraguay.

Although 99% is privately owned, the Pantanal (swamp in Spanish) was my favorite place in Brazil. Although there are no endemic birds in this area of Brazil, there are soooo many birds (650 residents) and lots of them are restricted range birds. It is an eye opener which every birder must see before it its gone.
