Birds of
Mãe-da-Lua Reserve

This is the list of the birds of Mãe-da-Lua Reserve. The only criterion for inclusion of a species in this list is that I personally saw or heard the bird at least once in the reserve or in our administration area, which is embedded in the reserve. I marked very rare visitors with a star (*).

While all species were registered in the reserve, I also used pictures and sound recordings that I made in other places, for example in Fazenda Canãa in Pentecoste, where I lived from 2001 to 2006, or in the Baturité mountains.

For most species, there is a link to a page with more detailed information. For Penelope jacucaca and Aramides mangle, I still maintain an English translation. All other species pages are, since August 2017, in Portuguese only.

I followed the taxonomic system of the IOC World Bird List V7.3.
