<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Brazil's vast seasonal wetland, the Pantanal, is habitat for a remarkable diversity of birds and other animals. Located between the Amazon rain forest and dry forest cerrado,
the Pantanal is a natural hotspot for biodiversity, a land of hyacinth macaws, toco toucans, and giant anteaters. In this abundantly illustrated talk, author, ornithologist, and club member John Kricher will describe the region and discuss some of its remarkable
wildlife, ranging from the highly endangered cone-billed tanager to the magnificent jaguar. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
