Topic: Amazing Birds and Wildlife in Brazil’s Pantanal
Thursday, 5:00Pm - 7:30Pm
Tour Guide: Dick Voelker
The largest fresh-water wetland in the world is located in Brazil’s Pantanal and is a wildlife paradise with jaguars, caimans, capybara, giant otters as well as an incredible diversity of birds.
Although their entire journey was 2.5 weeks in September 2025, Dick and his daughter Tracy, spent 10 days in the Pantanal and four days at the edge of the Amazon. These are very remote regions and during the spring rainy season (which they missed), most of the roads are under water. During Dick and Tracy’s photographic adventure, they averaged over 500 photos each day, and that left a lot of work to be done when they got home. However, the effort to document birds and wildlife that they had never seen was a great reward. It was truly a WOW adventure.
Dick will present a 30-minute video complete with titles and music of this fabulous adventure.
