Riassunto

Along the riverbanks, the leafy forest canopy forms a giant open-air aviary. Black-collared hawks eye me silently as they scan the river for prey. Elegant coicoi herons glide by on their way to their rookery. A hoatzin bird, whose topknot resembles a Mohawk haircut, sends out an eerie call. Turquoise, bright yellow and green parrots engage in a fierce aerial battle over a seed. High in the leafy canopy, bushy-tailed saki-monkeys perform acrobatics in the tree tops, while tiny squirrel monkeys anxiously skitter along the tree trunks. As the morning sun clears the Amazon tree line, the curtain rises on one of the world's most dazzling wildlife spectacles. In the evening, another beautiful sunset touches the horizontal landscape, and the heavenly colours of the sunset allow a sense of oneness and tranquility. This books is recommended for the whole family, elementary and middle schools, community libraries, naturalists and collectors of the Amazon Exploration Series.
