Some birding places and its checklists

(by Antonio Silveira)

Santa Catarina

Praia da Lagoinha (Ilha de Santa Catarina)

     

        From November 16th to 20th, 2005, we have been (Antonio Silveira followed by Gianine Luiza) observing and preparing Lagoinha Cost and Beach (Santa catarina Island) region's birds' checklist.

        The region, that is at the extreme north from Santa Catarina Island, still preserves natural atlantic wood areas and also the main coast vegetation, where we can observe many species from this island.

        The large number of Cyanocorax caeruleus (Azure Jay) have called our attention.

        We haven't done nigthy observations, registering a total of 74 observed species.
