REGUA, Atlantic Forest, Brazil: 2 November

The rain finally stopped overnight but heavy cloud and low temperature kept bird activity very low. Birding the Waterfall Trail and the Elfin Forest Trail today was slow going, and, frustratingly, photographic opportunities were non-existent. Highlights were 1 Shrike-like Cotinga, 1 Russet-winged Spadebill, Saw-billed Hermit, 1 Crescent-chested Puffbird, 1 Spot-billed Toucanet, a pair of Plain Antvireo, 1 White-throated Woodcreeper, 1 Black-capped Foliage-gleaner, 2 Buff-fronted Foliage-gleaner, 2 Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, 2 Eye-ringed Tody-Tyrant, 1 Whiskered Flycatcher, 1 White-rumped Monjita, Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Greyish Mourner, 1 Pin-tailed Manakin, 1 White-thighed Swallow, 1 White-rumped Swallow, 1 Yellowish Pipit and 3 Red-legged Honeycreeper. A Rufous-thighed Kite hunting over the lodge late evening was a nice finish to the day.
