Birds' checklist from observation in Barão de Melgaço region - MT, from August 4th to 07th, 2004
(by Antonio Silveira)
Developing our sound and visual from Brazilian avifauna raising project, we were at Barão do Melgaço - MT, from Augst 04th to 7th, 2004, 03rd to 08th, May, 2006 and 15th to 19th, May, 2008, resulting in a preliminary checklist from the observed birds, that follows below. Up to now we have already observed 208 birds' species.
Barão de Melgaço is near Pantanal Region (near Cuiabá, Mato Grosso's capital).
In this region there are rivers as Cuiabá and Mutum, this having clear water and an increadible beauty. All this beauty form a great natural touristic potential, because of the presence of areas that are still preserved and with many animals' species. Maybe there still are the Panthera onca and the Felix concolor. We had seen Pteronura brasilinsis at the rivers, showing the hig preservation level at the place. Among the birds, special destak for Aburria cujubi; Red-throated Piping-Guan, Claravis pretiosa; Blue Ground-dove, Agamia agami; Agami Heron, Pipra fasciicauda; Band-tailed Manakin and the rare Zebrilus undulatus; Zigzag Heron, from which we have recorded a great vocalization.
There is also a great birding potencial, because we have observed many bird species in a small time of observation.
