"The ocean has always been a salve to my soul…the best thing for a cut or abrasion was to go swimming in salt water. Later down the road of life, I made the discovery that salt water was also good for the mental abrasions one inevitably acquires on land."
– Jimmy Buffett, musician, and songwriter

The best chance to get a decent shot is when they are foraging in fruiting trees at the edge of the rainforest.
Found in NE Australia and in parts of Papua New Guinea.
There are 4 species of Cuckoo-shrike in Australia of which we saw 2 during the trip. In Africa there are 5 species of which I have seen 2 species.

From the top, an impressive plateau, it is possible to contemplate the entire city of Rio and its surroundings – it is possible to see the Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, and even the mountains of Serra of the Organs. It's an unforgettable sight!

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
I really loved Panama City. You can be in the surrounding rainforest in the morning watching exotic birds. With less than a 1/2 kilometer walk, you can then have a picnic along the Panama Canal lazily watching large boats floating by. By evening, and a 45 minute bus ride, you are back in this big and ultra modern city for a lovely walk and a beautiful skyline.

The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S.[1] Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest 394 to 2,493 feet (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km (30 mi) of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain.

"Serra da Bocaina" National Park.
It has an area of 100,000 ha. It is located in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, in the municipalities of São José do Barreiro, Cunha, Ubatuba and Areias in São Paulo and Paraty and Angra dos Reis in Rio de Janeiro.
Hot, sub-hot and super humid, rainfall ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 mm per year, average annual temperature of 23ºC, reaching 0ºC in the coldest months (June and July).
It is represented by a set of elevated surfaces forming well-defined mountains. The altitudes are on average between 800 m and 950 m.
The dominant plant formation is the Tropical Rainforest Atlantic Perenifolia, very rich in species, followed by Forests of Latitude. On the plateau we find native species such as araucaria and maritime pine. Several epiphytes occur in the area, especially on the banks of rivers, such as micro-orchids.
The Pacific Northwest and it's temperate rainforest provides recreation, jobs and habitat for a variety of animals and plants. I took this picture in Washington just a short walk from my truck at a rest area.
Temperate rainforest is probably less diverse and definitely not as colourful as tropical one – but it is still captivating and full of all kinds of life. Taking many shots of it in early November (which was appropriately very rainy), I have arrived to the conclusion that I need to try and do some radically different in postprocessing to make those shots interesting. The lush greenery went away - and instead you see less – or maybe more. It depends on how you look ;-)

A wonderful creek descending from the mountain range in a little provincial park. I absolutely love the moss in the rainforest.
There are a couple of single lane wooden bridges on the dirt road to the Paluma Dam. Pulling over and exploring is so worthwhile. The creeks are simply beautiful with pristine water flowing pretty much all year round.
