moram ou viajam em busca <strong>de</strong> novas espécies. Muitos<br />

mantêm anotações <strong>de</strong>talhadas e precisas e po<strong>de</strong>m<br />

até colaborar com os cientistas.<br />

Quan<strong>do</strong> observar Em geral, o melhor horário vai <strong>do</strong><br />

nascer <strong>do</strong> sol ao meio da manhã, pois é quan<strong>do</strong> as<br />

<strong>aves</strong> estão mais ativas, cantan<strong>do</strong> e buscan<strong>do</strong> alimento.<br />

A melhor época <strong>do</strong> ano para observar a maioria das<br />

espécies são os meses <strong>de</strong> setembro e outubro, início<br />

da estação reprodutiva.<br />

Que equipamento usar Os binóculos permitem ver<br />

as <strong>aves</strong> com mais <strong>de</strong>talhes; prefira os que aumentam<br />

<strong>de</strong> 7 a 10 vezes a imagem. Registre suas observações<br />

em uma ca<strong>de</strong>rneta, anotan<strong>do</strong> espécies, dia e local.<br />

Se não reconhece alguma ave, faça uma <strong>de</strong>scrição<br />

e <strong>de</strong>senhos, que po<strong>de</strong>m ser bem simples, para<br />

i<strong>de</strong>ntificá-la <strong>de</strong>pois. Ao final <strong>de</strong>ste livro, há uma lista<br />

das espécies <strong>de</strong> <strong>aves</strong> <strong>de</strong> ambiente serrano registradas<br />

nas unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> conservação, e você po<strong>de</strong> assinalar<br />

as espécies que já viu.<br />

On<strong>de</strong> observar Uma boa dica é procurar as <strong>aves</strong><br />

na borda da mata, em plantas com frutos ou flores,<br />

e em come<strong>do</strong>uros. É difícil vê-las entre a folhagem<br />

<strong>de</strong>nsa da floresta. Fique <strong>de</strong> olho no topo <strong>de</strong> árvores<br />

mortas na beira da mata, on<strong>de</strong> várias <strong>aves</strong> pousam.<br />

When to birdwatch Generally, dawn to midday is the<br />

best time to birdwatch, because that’s when birds are<br />

most active as they sing and forage for food. The best<br />

time of year for observing most species is September<br />

and October, the beginning of the breeding season.<br />

What equipment should be used Binoculars – especially<br />

those with 7 to 10 times magnification – allow<br />

you to observe birds in greater <strong>de</strong>tail. Record your<br />

sightings in a jotter, noting the species, date and location.<br />

If you <strong>do</strong>n’t recognize a bird, make a <strong>de</strong>scription<br />

and simple sketches to help later i<strong>de</strong>ntification. At the<br />

end of this gui<strong>de</strong>, you’ll find a list of montane species<br />

registered in the protected areas so you can tick off<br />

those you’ve seen.<br />

Where to birdwatch In the forest it can be difficult to<br />

see birds through the foliage. A good tip is to birdwatch<br />

on the forest edge, near fruit and flower-bearing trees<br />

and at feeding stations. Keep an eye on the tops of<br />

<strong>de</strong>ad trees at the edge of the woods, too, where many<br />

species are to be found. And scan the sky, because<br />

many birds of prey like to gli<strong>de</strong> in circles.<br />

How to make a sighting Walk very slowly along trails,<br />

staying alert to movements, colors and sounds. In the<br />

Atlantic Forest, you will hear birds a lot more than you’ll<br />
