Program: Unforgettable Birds of Brazil

Motivated by Brazil’s astonishing birds and a sense of urgency to see and photograph them prior to further declines, Santa Barbara bird enthusiasts Satie Airamé , Jeff Chemnick, and Mark Holmgren teamed up with Brazilian biologist and bird guide Raphael E. F. Santos on multiple expeditions to Brazil. The indefatigable explorers traveled to remote localities with complicated logistics to observe and photograph wild birds in their natural habitats. This presentation features a collection of stunning bird photographs as well as stories, insights, and (often humorous) commentary by the birders as they share their experiences with the unforgettable birds of Brazil.
