I was there on January 12th, for a full entire day. The “Mata do Junco” – Forest Reseve is located at the Brazilian State of Sergipe, at the county of the CAPELA. It is very easy to reach this place: The main entrance is right by the village of Capela. There is a park ranger station at its gate. But, once they take note of your license plate, you will be able to bird right away. The Park has some facilities such restrooms, that can be used.
It is recommended to bird the main road and also the first road on the right, on the first fork. You will hear the Coimbra’s Tit-Monkey, quite often. Some of the birds that you should see on the Forest Reserve are:
Blue-Backed Manakin – Common.
