Blumenau

  

        Antonio Silveira and Gianine Luiza have been in Blumenau City, Santa Catarina, on November, 23 rd, 2006, visiting some natural areas from the region and, in special, Parque Natural Municipal das Nascentes do Garcia, that is located around 23 kilometers from the center of the city, measuring 5,300 ha, with forestal remanescents from atlantic wood and is into the new Parque Nacional da Serra do Itajaí, where, as information obtained in promotional material, around 240 birds species have already been observed.

        We have observed around 3 hours, and besides a small period of observation, we could observe 83 birds' species, what shows the great ornithological potential from the region, that can be used by the birdwatching tourism.

        We intend to go back to the place and raise our birds checklist.
