Snowy Egret vs Piranha

You might think the Piranha would win. But just take a look.

The Pantanal, Brazil

Sally and I are just back from a great trip to the Pantanal in Brazil, where we saw such highlight birds as Hyacinth Macaw and Harpy Eagle. The Pantanal is the largest contiguous wetland in the World...... about 10 times the size of the Everglades. We only covered a small percentage of it, but had many awesome bird sightings...... as well as some great mammal sightings.

Sally and I are looking forward to our fall birding class. A class schedule with a list of sites we will visit will be out soon .....Bill
