Birds checklists by places
Tiradentes - MG
From January 11st to 18th, 2006, we have been (Antonio Silveira followed by Gianine Luiza) observing and raising the birds checklist from, Tiradentes region, Minas Gerais State.
In the region can be found important foretal remanescents, mainly at Serra São José area, where is an APA (environmental protected area), helping with the local preservation.
The observations have been made at the referred Serra as well as around it. There is also some small lakes and pounds nears the it, and so it´s possible observing some aquatic birds' species.
In this first ornithological incursion we have registered 138 species, being
observed rare ones as Dusky-legged
Guan (Penelope
obscura;Jacuguaçu
Southern Antpipit (Corythopis delalandi; Estalador-do-sul).
Our thanks to the attention and collaboration from Mr. John Parson and the botanic Peter Hargreaves, English friends living in the region, as well as professor Rogério Godoy, geophysics and owner of a great area near Serra São José, allowing us some observations there.
