So Carajas is a great place to see Cotingas then. But there's lots more to see in the form of antbirds, woodcreepers and confusing flycatchers too to keep everyone happy. We birded mainly in the Salobo, Aguas Claras and Rio Parauarebas areas as these trails seemed to have the desired birds according to recent reports on Carajas. Other notable species we picked up not mentioned previously included Opal-crowned Manakin, Blue-cheeked Jacamar, Chestnut-belted Gnateater, Cryptic Forest-Falcon, Para Foliage-Gleaner and Natterer's Slaty-Antshrike. I look forward to returning next year to say the least.
