Birds of Rio (river) Salsa - Canavieiras – BA

 

         

 

       In the morning of January 29th of 2010, we  (Antonio Silveira and the biologist Maurício Arantes) set sail for the Rio (river) Salsa, affluent of the Rio (river) Pardo.

The Rio Pardo flows to the sea, in a big estuary with great mangrovers, having in its left edge the city of Canavieira, that in the past was a great port of cacao exportation.

We left the port of Canavieiras, and after sailing for about 2 km in the Rio Pardo, we enterd the Rio Salsa, where we sailed for about 20 km. This river is spectacular for its natural and scenic beauty, very rich in birds in its forests and in some abandoned cacao farms.

 We observed 102 species while sailing slowly, stopping for some minutes near the forests and/or abandoned cacao plantations, to ear and watch birds.
