Incredible Birds and Mammals of Brazil

By Roy Lowe 

Take a visual trip with photographer Roy Lowe to Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest and the Pantanal. Roy and his friends traveled to Brazil from Sept. 25 to Oct. 21, 2022. The visit was timed to occur at the end of the dry season, although, as explained by their guide, climate change has altered the traditional timing of rainfall.

The primary focus was observing and photographing jaguars in their native habitats from boats on the Rio Cuiaba, but there were other mammals and birds to enjoy as well. Highlights of the trip are too numerous to mention, but some of the beautiful tanagers, woodpeckers, and five species of macaws and jaguars are included.

Roy Lowe is a resident of Waldport, Ore. He graduated from Humboldt State University with a BS in Wildlife Management in 1977. He was employed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for over 37 years and spent 29 years stationed on the Oregon Coast. At the time of his retirement in 2015, Roy was the Refuge Manager of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
