Rio Botanical Garden

Day 159: March 6, 2025 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil



It was called a botanical garden (Jardim Botânico), but its wildlife was as interesting as its plant life. Wild Capuchin monkeys and marmosets freely roamed the garden. And I added 3 new birds to my life list.

    Such great wildlife…. I too love birds. I have ever since I was a small child. So many beautiful birds!
    Will you be writing a book w photos??? Hmmm?

    1. I love your enthusiasm! I actually do turn all my blog entries into books, at the end of each year. But they’re not for publication, just a scrapbook of sorts for myself.
