     Glenn contacted me to organize a bird-watching trip in the southeastern region of Brazil. The tour was for him and Chris Bell. I prepared a 14-day tour of the best places for bird-watching. This trip was conducted with my own car, picking them up at Guarulhos Airport and completing the entire journey, finishing again at Guarulhos Airport. We slept in Taubaté, and the next day we went to the city of Tremembé, then Santo Antônio do Pinhal, and Monteiro Lobato, where we could observe several new bird species for both of them with the help of a local guide.

On the second day, we went to Resende, where we stayed for 4 nights and made the most of the region where I live. We went to Itatiaia National Park and Serra da Bocaina, beautiful places with fantastic biodiversity ranging from 400 meters to 2791 meters in altitude. After saying goodbye to Itatiaia, we headed to Salesópolis, where we stayed for 2 nights. Next, we arrived at the coast and stayed in Ubatuba, visiting not only Ubatuba but also the cities of Paraty and Angra dos Reis.

We spent 3 days exploring the coast in search of lowland birds. Our next and final stop was the city of Tapiraí, where we stayed for 3 more nights until the end of the trip. We saw many birds and some animals that made their presence known during this trip.

Thank you, Glenn and Chris. LIFER IS GOOD !!!   Here is the list of species that were spotted during the 14-day trip.
