Birds checklists by places

        We (Antonio Silveira and Gianine Luiza) have been in Itamonte region from October 12nd to 16th, 2005, where we have observed the local avifauna. Itamonte is a County at the Sout of Minas Gerais State, near São Paulo and at Serra da Mantiqueira Complex, havinh a lot of areas with 2,000 meters altitude. Itatiaia National Park is also in part at Itamonte.

        So, there area a lot of Atlantic Wood native vegetation areas, also with altitude, with interesting avifauna, with destak to the Black-and-gold Cotinga (Tijuca atra). 

        In this first visit we have observed 113 species.
