Despite its name, the Brazilian Tanager is not, quite, endemic to the lowlands of the Atlantic Forest biome of eastern Brazil, being also found in extreme northeast Argentina. Males are impossible mistake, being brilliant scarlet-red with a black tail and wings, and a very obviously pale mandible to the bill. Females, on the other hand, are less distinctively plumaged and recall, to some extent, females of other Ramphocelus tanagers, or even some Tachyphonus, but are generally much redder over the underparts than any similar species. There is no known overlap with the congeneric and much more widespread Silver-beaked Tanager (Ramphocelus carbo), which is substantially darker in both sexes than the present species, although the two probably come close in various parts of eastern Brazil. doi.org/10.2173/bow.bratan1.01

Bom feriado a todos.

Brazil

Festivities June, festivals of the popular saints, or celebration of the mid-summer (Midsummer) are the period centered on the summer siege (northern hemisphere) and winter (southern hemisphere), and more specifically on the celebrations of Northern Europe that occur Between June 19 and June 25. Exact dates vary between cultures.

The Christian Church, however, designates June 24 as the feast day in honor of the Christian martyr St. John the Baptist and celebrates the Eve of St. John and the Birth of John the Baptist.

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.

This species is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. It regularly visits feeders in small numbers. Both sexes of this hummingbird are attractive and distinctive. Males are primarily clad in deep green, with a brilliant deep red throat patch, a small but obvious white postocular spot, browner wings, and a bright red tail, while females share the spot behind the eye and the tail color of the male, but are otherwise rich orange over the entire underparts and on the rump.

Wishing a Peaceful day on Earth!

The Iguacu waterfalls, a UNESCO world heritage straddle the Brazil - Argentina border. At three times the size of Niagara waterfalls, there's water, water and more water once you enter the Iguacu National Park. A ramp over the Iguacu river takes you close to the Devil's throat, the biggest waterfall at Iguacu.

We were surprised to spot this tapir on the riverbank. Even more startled than we were, he turned to run, then paused to face us before disappearing into the brush.

Tapirs are large plant-eating animals of Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. There are four types: Brazilian, Malayan, Baird's, and mountain tapirs. They have a long, flexible snout to grab leaves and fruit, and are related to horses and rhinos. Tapirs are great swimmers and use water to escape danger or cool off. They are usually shy, active at night, and prefer to live alone. Sadly, all tapir species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.

The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is a giant cavy rodent native to South America. It is the largest living rodent in the world. It is a member of the genus Hydrochoerus, of which the only other extant member is the lesser capybara (Hydrochoerus isthmius). Its close relatives include guinea pigs and rock cavies, and it is more distantly related to the agouti, the chinchilla, and the coypu.

The capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests and lives near bodies of water. It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as 100 individuals, but usually lives in groups of 10–20 individuals. The capybara is not a threatened species, but it is hunted for its meat and hide and also for grease from its thick fatty skin.

Iguazu Falls in full flood after the heaviest rainfall in 25 years. This was taken from a platform on the Brazil side that takes you out to an island in the throat of the falls in an area you could never reach by foot. It's not exactly wilderness here, but the sheer power, sound and feel of the water puts it near the pinnacle of all the natural spectacles I've ever witnessed.
