Pantanal birds

[Atravelynn]

A birder's paradise and your photos prove it.  Especially like Muscovy Duck with the bulbous bite, the pair of flying Red-and-Green Macaws, the gorgeous Amazonian Motmot with a winged morsel, and the Roseate Spoonbill in a setting with colors that remind me of an elegant lady's dressing table!

Lovely finish to a very enjoyable collection of birds, @Bush dog.

[Peter Connan]

A beautiful collection!

[offshorebirder]

Wonderful photos @Bush dog   

 

Amazing portrait of the Toco Toucan and the full-body portrait of the Yellow-billed Tern is choice.

 

And the woodpecker photos are wonderful.   White Woodpeckers remind me of young Wattled Starlings in eastern and southern Africa.

Toco Toucan shot = the whole box of Crayolas!  You must have perfected your bird calls for each species because they are all in full view.  Before heading to the Pantanal, this thread is a must-see for a bird review!

Thank you once again for showing interest in thios report.

 

The original format of some photos has been cropped but not, for example, the yellow-billed tern (taken from a boat on the Rio Negro) and the toco toucan.  I think that the interest of this photo is that it shows the tongue of the bird, otherwise a formidable predator, which appears like a long comb, coated with a sticky substance which leaves no escape to its prey.

what a lovely way to spend my lunchtime! and to get ready for our trip in August, some wonderful images @Bush dog

As you know Mike I am a bit obsessed with Woodpeckers and by coincidence today I saw the black one for the first time in Watermaal-Bosvoorde ( my BY ) but the beauty of your collection is simply outstanding !
