In 2008 I went to Brazil & saw lots of wonderful things but one bird I had longed to see escaped me .. the Hyacinth Macaw!
Flash forward to 2022. I had the chance to be in South America again & made a special effort in Paraguay to see this rare macaw ... Success ✔️ Hyacinth Macaw!

Thanks to Paul Smith of Fauna Paraguay -

If you're interested in seeing some amazing wildlife check out Paul's website where he lists his upcoming trips.

Thank you so much for considering supporting worthwhile causes that try to save Canadian birds. Once again, as I have in the past 35+ years, I'll be going out to look for birds near the end of May hoping to raise as much money as I can for Canadian research and preservation projects ... please consider supporting me in this very worthwhile cause.

The attached flyer gives you more information but here is the secure donation link that will take you to my fundraiser for Birds Canada if you choose to support me this year.
