There have been 47 FONT birding tours in Brazil.
1,040 species of birds have cumulatively been seen during FONT Brazilian tours.  

Generally the taxonomy in this list conforms with that in the Howard & Moore  "Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World", 3rd edition, edited by Edward Dickinson. Also some taxonomy has been incorporated from "The Birds of Ecuador - Status, Distribution, and Taxonomy" by Robert S. Ridgely and Paul J. Greenfield, published in 2001. More recently, both taxonomic order & nomenclature here are from "Birds of the World - Recommended English Names" by Frank Gill & Minturn Wright (published in 2006).
