At the beach in Brazil one expects to find crows and seagulls. But look what comes along when people have a feeding place for birds. The food consisted of fruit: Mamão (Papaya), banana, orange, limão (lemon). The feeding table was under some trees, the weather was mostly overcast and I had to take the pictures through a window. Outside I couldn't get near without disturbing them. So the pictures are in no way perfect, but it gives an impression of the birds that were there. I had never seen any of the colorful ones on my earlier visits. After some study on the Internet I found that a lot of these birds are tanagers.

I have no idea about these birds. Also a tanager?? or maybe a kind of finch??
Outside the light is so much better! These beautiful lapwings were all over the beach.
I love these small birds. One of the tyrant family. Masked water tyrant
This bright yellow tyrant was sitting near us in a beach hut. Probably waiting for something tasty.

There were seagulls, although not many.
Finally the scavengers... Here they call them crows, but they are Black vultures .
This bag with garbage is waiting for the garbage truck that is arriving. The vultures are there first!! Impressive birds. This one is standing in one of the small rivers that run down form the mountains.
The end of a busy day?? Or just drying its feathers before the next job?
