Monte Alegre do Sul and Pousada da Fazenda are very cool!

I decided to return once again for a birdwatching trip, or better said, an owling trip.

I returned in September, after my last visit in July, and my main goal of the owling was to see a Tawny-browed Owl that stays at a known spot on the farm where it's possible to see it during the day.

An Amethyst Woodstar hummingbird with vibrant pink throat feathers sitting on a thin branch, with a softly blurred green background.

We started our search for the owls in the middle of the afternoon, after observing some hummingbirds like the Amethyst Woodstar and the Sapphire-spangled Emerald and American Barn Owl as well.

A Sapphire-spangled Emerald hummingbird, with shimmering blue and green plumage, perches on a bare branch against a blurred green background.

The first quest was for the Tawny-browed Owl, but animals have their own wills, and that day it wasn't on its perch.

A Streaked Flycatcher (Myiodynastes maculatus) with detailed striped plumage, perched on a tree branch with a soft-focus green background.

We then went in search of other owls and were able to see, still in daylight, a pair of Great Horned Owl with a chick.

We moved on and stopped in a marsh area to observe some marsh birds; we could see the funny Streamer-tailed Tyrant, Yellow-rumped Marshbird, Great Pampa-Finch and others.

Two Streamer-tailed Tyrants, known for their elongated tail feathers, are perched side by side on a red and black electric wire against a soft blue sky.

With the sun setting, we went after Rusty-barred Owl. Along the way, we managed to hear the Common Pauraque and Band-winged Nightjar and finally saw the Rusty-barred Owl.
