BRAZIL

In November of 2000, Scott Weidensaul and I searched for the Cone-billed Tanager, a bird known from only a single specimen in Mato Grosso, Brazil. You can read about the adventure in Scott's book, "The Ghost with Trembling Wings: Science, Wishful Thinking, and the Search for Lost Species". At one point, we skidded to a stop along the road to photograph this White-eared Puffbird capturing and consuming a grasshopper..
