REGUA, Atlantic Forest, Brazil: 9 November

A hot and very quiet day on the Veludo Trail today. 2 Saw-billed Hermit (photo below), 1 male Frilled Coquette, 1 Rufous-tailed Jacamar, 1 Yellow-throated Woodpecker, a male Variable Antshrike, a pair of Spot-breasted Antvireo, 1 Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner, 1 White-eyed Foliage-gleaner, 2 Grey-hooded Flycatcher, 1 White-throated Spadebill, 2 Euler's Flycatcher, 1 Blue Manakin, 3 Yellow-green Grosbeak, 1 Orange-bellied Euphonia and a Chestnut-bellied Euphonia were the best of the few birds seen, and yet again we came frustratingly close to a calling Variegated Antpitta but failed to see it. Elsewhere, a White-eared Puffbird was on the dirt road leading to the trail head.
