Cristalino Lodge: Rich Hoyer in Brazil
Watch on YouTube
Brazil’s Cristalino Lodge is in the southeastern Amazonian rainforest. It has become the prime location in Brazil for birders and nature enthusiasts.
Rich Hoyer has been working as a professional birding tour leader for WINGS for the past 29 years. He leads tours to such exciting locations as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, and Jamaica, but he also looks forward to his annual tours that explore the beauty and diversity of his home state.
Born and raised in Oregon, Rich Hoyer earned his bachelor’s degrees in German and Zoology at Oregon State University. Following a few years as an itinerant biologist and summer guide on Saint Paul Island, Alaska, he moved to Tucson, Arizona. Rich moved back to Oregon in 2019 and now lives in Eugene where he also enjoys his hobbies of gardening, landscaping with native plants, knitting, cooking, and making music.

Program Meetings
Our monthly program meetings have something for everyone. During the last year we hosted programs by naturalists, wildlife artists and expert birders on a variety of topics from the birds of Hawaii, to ravens, wolves, and people, to the migration of red knots. Participating in a program meeting is a fun way to get involved with Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance. Meetings are free and open to all.
We are currently meeting on Zoom and in-person as conditions allow on the 4th Tuesday of each month between September and May at 7:00 p.m.
