Just like Manu, the walks yielded fewer birds cloe up than the actual drive. Most of our bird pictures were taken from the car. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, and we will talk to you from SantaRem!

I suggest the black umbrella :) Fred,

The pictures of different birds in Pantanal are a reminder of Manu Biosphere in Peru. Here at Pananal, due to great abundance of the birds it was probably easier to take close up shots. Another difference was that in Manu we were mostly on the boat and only a few times on the ground walking. The bright spots such as these pictures are a real joy to see when the economy here is tumbling down. So Shreesh and Neena, keep on going strong as ever and by the time you return to the US everything will be on the upswing. Wish you a Happy Thanksgiving (27th November) !! Aai Shreesh and Neena,
