We finish up our Brazil adventure by checking out the famed Meeting of the Waters, head up to Balbina to work with some budding birders, and then finish it off with rodizio pizza. Brazil is an incredible birding destination with so much to see and do - add it to your list!

And a HUGE thanks goes out to Kowa Sporting Optics, ABA Birders' Exchange program, and many of our listeners who donated supplies that will make a difference in the lives of the Associação Guarda Parque do Amazonas, a volunteer group dedicated to providing education and protecting the Amazon habitat.

Birding from the forest floor only gets you a small view of what's going on in the canopy. Forest towers are a great way to see more of the birdlife up and down the trees with hawks and swifts up in the sky, foraging flocks mid-canopy, and woodcreepers below the crown.

Maira, Alen, and Hannah also chat about their experience on an all-women birding trip.
