Annotated Bird List Rio De Janeiro State

Annotated Bird List – Rio De Janeiro State February 13-20; April 14-15, 2025 Callyn Yorke

Annotated map indentifying survey sites (purple dots and clusters – my cell phone image locations) and lodging (black circles) in Rio De Janeiro State (RDJ – February & April 2025 Callyn Yorke). Abbreviations are as follows: DO = Parque Nacional da Serra dos órgãos; FC = Fazenda Colomi; GNB = Guanabara Bay Wetlands (including RM = Rio Macau); GUA = Guapimirim; LH = Linx Airport Hotel; NF = Nova Friburgo; RBG = Rio Botanical Garden; REG = Reserva Ecologica de Guapiacu (REGUA); RP = Rio Preta; SAP = Sapucaia area; SUM = Sumidouro; TRP = Tres Picos State Park – partial. See text for site descriptions. Courtesy of Google Maps 2025.

KEY to additional abbreviations and numerical abundance: HO = heard only and/or seen briefly; identified primarily by specific vocalizations; DM = Daniel Mello; GM = Gabriel Mello; greg. = gregarious; msf = mixed species flock; ubiq. = ubiquitous in appropriate habitat. Location abbreviations are given in the annotated map above. Numbers represent actual counts (1- 20 individuals) or estimates (> 20 individuals); Note: numerical count data are missing for species in some locations.

Systematics and taxonomy is an amalgam of AVIBASE Bird Checklist for Rio de Janeiro; IOC, AOS and Birds of the World, Cornell University 2025. Species given in boldface type are Brazilian endemics.
