The Endangered Northeast Extension - February

4

days |

February 18 to February 21, 2028

Four days, five of the Northeast's most threatened birds, and one of the most endangered forests on Earth. This extension dives into the Pernambuco Center of Endemism, the battered Atlantic Forest fragments of Alagoas and Pernambuco, in search of species clinging to existence. Here we look for the Orange-bellied Antwren, the dazzling Seven-colored Tanager, the all-but-vanishing Pernambuco Foliage-gleaner, and the strangely distributed Forbes's Blackbird, birds whose entire world has shrunk to a handful of hillside woodlots. Between the tense searches, a single hummingbird garden offers pure joy, with up to twenty species buzzing at arm's length and unbeatable photography. This is birding with the weight of conservation behind every sighting: some of these species may not survive the coming decades, and seeing them now is both a privilege and a reckoning. A short, intense, unforgettable add-on to any Northeast tour.

Difficulty level

Easy-moderate

Pink Poppy Flowers

An easy tour underfoot, with short walks of one to three kilometres on firm, dry ground at your own pace and no real climbs. The challenge is rhythm rather than terrain: pre-dawn starts on most days and long field days of ten hours or more, driven by the patience these rare, skulking birds demand. Days are warm (28 to 34°C) with biting insects in places, lodging is comfortable throughout, and one canopy tower offers a rare Northeast treat. Suitable for most birders in reasonable health.
