 | Welcome to my website | Jun 7, 2007 |
After a few years of guiding birdwatchers I decided to get a little camera and start photographing during the tours I organize with the intention of giving my clients a few pictures at the end of each trip. It turned into a nice hobby and my image bank started growing a lot.
As time went by many of my clients started to ask me to post my pictures on the web and my new clients wanted me to send some pictures, to get used to the birds they would see during the trip. This website is a response to those clients and I hope that it may help others to prepare for trips to Brazil.
Most of the pictures were taken at the Pantanal or Cerrado because that is where most of my tours take place. (For more information on my tous visit www.manakintours.com.br)
Please keep in mind that the pictures in this website are copyrighted, so if you wish to use any of them please contact me before you do so.
I would also like to use this website to promote the work of the Birders Exchange Project. This project is run by the American Birding Association and it collects used equipment and donates equipment to Researchers, Educators and Conservationists.
Please take the time to get to know this project and visit www.americanbirding.org/bex/
Welcome, Have fun!!!

 | texasclarks wrote on Aug 24, '07 Howdy Marcelo! Pamela, Bubba & I want to thank you for the great tours of the Jardim du Amazonia & Chapada areas. The experience was incredible and your tour leadership skills are outstanding. We learned more about birds in 1 week then I though possible. You can be sure that we will recommend you to our friends. Best regards, The Texas Clarks |

Estou terminando de escrever o guia das aves do campus da UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista) de Rio Claro (SP) (junto com o colega André Guaraldo), que contará com textos e fotos de 120 espécies. Faltam apenas 4 fotos, das seguintes espécies: Tapera naevia, Ramphocelus carbo, Serpophaga subcristata e Columbina submeta.
