A short stop in some cerrado en route to Chapada produces a few bits and pieces including a nice pair of White-eared Puffbirds (above).
Crowned Slaty-Flycatcher, also present is easy to find on any bird checklist - just look for the longest scientific name on the list (Griseotyrannus aurantioatrocristatus)!
White-rumped Tanagers, Brazil August 2008.
But undisputed stars were the pair of White-rumped Tanagers. These birds were as always aggressively territorial and spent some time entertaining us with their jumble of notes as an excuse for a song. A typical bird of Brazil's cerrado habitat.
