EXOTIC BIRDS CHIRPING
A chorus of brilliant-colored birds greets the dawn near Iguaçu Falls close to the border of Brazil and Argentina.
MORE EXOTIC BIRDS CALLING
There are over a hundred bird species in the area -- including toucans, motmots, woodpeckers, flycatchers, antbirds, and manakins.
Dan Grossman and I recorded this dawn chorus when we visited the falls a few years ago.
