August is a month of Rufous-bellied Thrush

This is the month, when this bird is mating. It starts the beautiful song at 4 am, takes a break around 9 am, the starts again at 11 am, the last song starts at 3 pm, on the clock. This is a national bird of Brazil. The soft, late afternoon sunlight, enhances the beauty of this winged marvel.
