Saw-billed Hermit at Atlantic Rainforest

The Atlantic Rainforest—Brazil's Mata Atlântica—once ran almost unbroken along the eastern seaboard, climbing from coastal lowlands into steep, mist-shrouded escarpments, and it is within these surviving forest fragments that the Saw-billed Hermit can be found. Photographers joining Birds of Brazil in May have the chance to work along these forested slopes, where the hermit's presence reflects just how significant these remnant tracts remain. The terrain's mix of humid understorey and elevated ridgeline gives a genuine sense of what the once-continuous forest offered. It's a rewarding location for anyone hoping to capture this species against its true Atlantic Rainforest backdrop.
