Local Birdwatchers
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I can help birders with advice for Brazil in general and go birding in my area. My region is in the "Cerrado", a savanna-like semi-arid biome, with many endemics.

Birding Mato Grosso and the Pantanal with Paulo. Great birds, good food, and comfortable lodging. Paulo Boute was a wonderful host and excellent guide. He knows the area and the birds, finding them even during the month of January (Rain Season). We got all of our target species, including the Harpy Eagle. It was an outstanding experience. Richard H. Payne, Ph.D. President & CEO American Birding Association. rhpayne(AT)aba.org
