January 22-24, 2021 – Birdwatching expedition through the Itatiaia National Park region with the American Ted. – BirdsRio.com.br – Birdwatching Rio de Janeiro

American Ted was in Ubatuba with Lucas Ramiro, who is also a bird guide, and would come to Itatiaia National Park to watch birds here as well. Lucas sent me a message with Ted’s contact, because he wanted me to show him the birds. The message was in the morning and in the afternoon Ted arrived at the inn in Itatiaia and soon we left in search of new birds. It was a few hours on the first day but enough to observe more than 60 species. On the second day we went to the upper part of the park where we could spend the whole day in search of the birds that occur there. We also wait for the day to end to observe the striped owl, which is very common in the high regions of Itatiaia. On the last day, we only had two and a half hours so we decided to go to the lower part of the park. We managed to see a total of 160 bird species, many new to Ted. We also saw the endangered Callithrix aurita, capuchin monkey and squirrel.
