[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the last new species of Brazil. I never saw so many new-ones in three weeks as last summer in Brazil. (In S., N. and E. Africa I saw there many more, but that was during 10 years). The region around Iguazu, the Pantanal and the Itatiaia NP were full of them. And it wasn’t a special bird trip. We traveled around with 9 people to see the nature as a whole. Only one other person was interested in birds.

The Golden-winged Cacique (Cacicus chrysopterus) is a species of bird in the Icteridae family. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes.

20.5 cm. Yellow on rump and wing coverts.
Voice: a nasal “kweh-eh”; song melodious and very beautiful, “dew,dewliuh-dee,dee” repeated in leisurely fashion.

Hi Peter,

I'll be sorry to see the end of your series of birds from Brazil. This Cacique (new to me) is lovely. Beautiful colors and details - I love the white eye and the yellow wings. Very nice pose and composition.

This is a nice sharp image Peter. Your subject is nicely isolated against the soft out of focus background. I like the simple composition.
