Birds of the Lagoa

Here are some of the birds you will see on your walk around the Lagoa


The diver in all his glory
He is a Bigua,  (Neotropic Cormorant)



Marreco do bico vermelho
ou Frango d´agua (Common Moorhen)




And we all love the coconuts




See what I mean?







This bird fetches careless
swimmers out of the ocean



And these provide tours of the Lagoa




Aren't they elegant?
Garça-branca-grande (Great Egret)
Socó-grande (Cocoi Heron)




This little guy is called João de
barro. (Rufous Hornero) You can see his nest on the
side of Ipanema by the lake

All the birds in a row, Biguás

He looks like a little old man, doesn't he?
He is a Savacu, a Black-crowned Night Heron

Good luck in your bird watching
