Rick Simpson Birding Services

A phone call from our friend Elsie, who lives a couple of beaches over, saw us rushing over to her garden to await the cause of our flurry of activity, a male Black-backed Tanager. There have been four documented records of this species in Ubatuba, two of them in Elsie’s magic garden! (More about that in another blog.)

Here are two of the photos she took of the recent arrival. Both photos copyright Elsie Rotenberg.
