Birds at the Pousada 3 Pinheiros Lodge
The township of Campos do Jordão is
located in a chain of mountains called the Serra de
Mantiqueira. Due to the altitude, that varies between
1600 and 2000 m, the climate is moderate, dry winters
(July and August) with night temperatures frequently
below zero and humid, rainy summers. For birdwatching,
Autumn (march to June) and Spring (September to
December) are especially recommended. In Spring (mating
season) the birds will respond well to playback.
Because of the altitude and peculiarity
of the climate, several species of birds and mammals
adapted to cooler temperatures are found here, such as
Thick-billed Saltator (Saltator maxillosus),
Vinaceous Parrot (Amazona vinacea),
black-and-gold cotinga (Tijuca atra),
Swallow-tailed cotinga (Phibalura flavirostris),
Rusty-barred owl (Strix hylophila), black-capped
piprites (Piprites pileatus),red-breasted toucan
(Ramphastos dicolorus), rufous-tailed antthrush (Chimaeza
ruficauda) and many others.
Other species that are not specific to
higher altitudes are seen more frequently here than in
the lowlands, such as Hepatic tanager (Piranga flava),
Black hawk eagle (Spizaetus tyrannus), Fruitcrow
(Pyroderus scutatus), Robust woodpecker (Campephilus
robustus)
The lodge is especially famous because of
the Plovercrest (Stephanoxis lalandi), which can
easily be observed throughout the year.
At a site nearby, Long-trained Nightjar (Macropsalis
forcipata) can be seen at dusk.
Until now (July 2011), the list of birds
registered in Campos do Jordão numbers 225 species (see
list, left) and 172 in the area of the lodge. |
