Rare
& Threatened Birds of Brazil
There have been 41 FONT
birding tours in Brazil.
1,023 species of birds have
cumulatively been seen during FONT Brazilian tours.
Generally the taxonomy in this list (parts 1
& 2) follows, at least in family order, 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 have been from
"Birds of the World - Recommended English Names" by Frank Gill &
Minturn Wright (published in 2006).
