My earlier photographs from Brazil were taken in the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland. For today’s Winged Wednesday and the next few, I’m featuring bird photos from the Brazilian Rainforest, a vast tropical forest celebrated for its incredible biodiversity, home to millions of species, and vital in helping regulate the Earth’s climate. While I was there, the annual rainforest 3-month drought was in its fourth month.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who consistently shares their incredible shots—it's such a delight to see all your beautiful photos of winged wonders. Keep capturing those moments! And thank you for being part of Winged Wednesday!
The Plain Parakeet is about 9 inches long and eats a variety of fruits, seeds, and flowers. It. Its habitat includes forests, woodlands, and urban areas in southeastern Brazil.
The Turquoise-fronted Parrot feeds on fruits, seeds, nuts, and flowers. It measures about 14 inches and lives in forests, savannas, and woodlands across Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. Its active and social nature makes it a favorite in its natural habitat.
The Yellow-fronted Woodpecker inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, foraging on tree trunks and branches. Its diet consists mainly of insects, larvae, and fruits, which it extracts using its strong bill to excavate wood.

Upside-Down Forager: The Yellow-rumped Cacique is a medium-sized blackbird with a striking yellow bill, vibrant yellow rump and vent, and piercing blue eyes. Found in tropical forests from Mexico to South America, it forages alone in dense shrubs for insects, fruits, and small prey. Often seen in flocks high in the canopy, these social birds thrive in large colonies, constructing intricate hanging nests with their fellow caciques
