Accipiter Poliogaster, Gray-bellied Hawk

Accipiter Poliogaster, Gray-bellied Hawk

Lately we have seen two interesting hawks: (Leucopternis polionotus) Mantled Hawk who soars at low height over the trees in the forest up in the mountains of our State. The other one is (Accipiter polyogaster) Gray-bellied Hawk. It can be found in practically all of Brazil but little is known about it and it is rarely seen. We saw it at Mato Limpo near our Lodge.

Knowing Lila Ferrez

Liliane Ferrez known as Lila Ferrez, went to the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, during 3 years, to study birds more closely. In that time there were very few books with drawing. The bird's skins were the only way to identify exactly which bird was which.

She then went in an expedition to the interior of Bahia, organized by the Museum, which Prof. Dante Teixeira was the expedition lider.

Luis Claudio Marigo and Lila Ferrez organyzed the COA (Bird Wacthes Club of Rio de Janeiro) . Luis as the director and Lila as the secretary.

She became the president of Brazilian Bird Club after Pedro Scherer Neto Phd.

She wrote a book "Bird Watching in the Estate of Rio de Janeiro " published in 1994".
