We took this photograph of a Pale-browed Treehunter, Cichlocolaptes leucophrus holti, during the morning of October 4, 2011, while hiking the main trail at Reserva Volta Vehla. The Pale-browed Treehunter is a Brazilian endemic found in the Atlantic Rain forest of southeastern Brazil. This southern subspecies of the Pale-browed Treehaunter has a rufous-colored tail. Other characteristics include a prominent supercilium, heavily streaked underparts with less distinct streaking on the back, and a long straight bill. This photograph of the Treehunter, showing the bird burried in the foliage, is one of my favorites. Temperatures were in the low 80's on this cloudy, overcast morning. The Volta Velha Reserve is a popular birding spot in southern Brazil and is well-known among birders around the world. It is located in Itapoã on the northern coast of Santa Catarina state. The reserve encompasses about 2,300 acres within one of the largest areas of undisturbed Atlantic Forest (lowland rainforest on the coastal plain of Brazil) and is one of the most endangered biomes on earth.
