In search of information about nests, I came across this book. It was a nice surprise! The photos are beautiful and range from common species, such as the lapwing and the orange thrush, to some much more difficult to find, such as the rooster
If I didn't make a mistake, in all the nests of 143 species were portrayed. It may not seem like much, when we think that in Brazil there are almost 2,000 species of birds. But it is a real triumph, since most of the birds that occur in the country have not even had their nests described by science. Some of the photos in the book are possibly among the first records known to us, as is the case of the extremely camouflaged nest of the tirrizinho-do-mato (Hemitriccus orbitatus).
The authors are Dante Buzzetti and Silvestre Silva. The first is an ornithologist. The second, journalist. The idea came up in 1999, and the first edition was launched in 2005. Well, I tried to choose my favorite photo, to put here in the post, but the task was impossible. You can't tell which nest is prettier, or more interesting. Everyone is amazing!
