That day, we boarded a small boat from the Port of Manaus just after lunch and headed to the crossing. Our boat was low in the water, so we could easily touch the rivers and feel the temperature difference. The river was low due to poor rainfall, so the color difference was challenging to see, but it was still noticeable. Our guide, Eli, explained that the waters do not mix at this confluence because the Rio Negro flows slowly and is warmer than the Rio Solimões, which is colder and quicker. The Rio Solimões is also rich in suspended sediments flowing from the Andes Mountains, resulting in the light color. Whereas the Rio Negro is so dark-colored due to the decayed leaf and plant matter from the interior jungles from which it originates. The two rivers run parallel for about four miles and thoroughly mix about forty miles downstream.</p><div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDczIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDQ3MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" decoding="async" width="630" height="473" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n-630x473.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-171167" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n-630x473.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/467123222_1088471486617609_1067645382960567288_n.jpg 1600w" data-sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure></div><p>There was a small, exposed island just up the river on which there were lounging<strong> Yellow-billed </strong>and <strong>Large-billed Terns</strong>, <strong>Black Skimmers,</strong> and a couple of <strong>Neotropic Cormorants</strong> in between bouts of taking advantage of this prime fishing spot.</p><p>After we had experienced this natural phenomenon, our boat captain directed us upstream into the Rio Solimões, and we jetted along for a few miles before reaching an expansive mudflat full of shorebirds. <strong>Lesser</strong> and <strong>Greater Yellowlegs</strong>, <strong>Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpipers</strong>, <strong>Collared Plovers</strong>, and seemingly every other common American shorebird were running back and forth foraging in the exposed river floodplain. It is really a spectacular spot to pull out the spotting scope and work on your shorebird identification.<br>The next day was our last part of the trip, and we headed deep into the jungle to climb a rickety tower looking for forest species. But the memories of seeing the Meeting of the Waters in person were incredible. Birding trips can take us to unique places with much to offer other than solely new species. And every day on this trip to the Amazon, we had fascinating things to see and do besides the fantastic birds!</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iMjE3IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDIxNyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="217" data-id="171168" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-630x217.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-171168" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-630x217.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-300x103.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-768x264.jpg 768w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-1536x528.jpg 1536w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/108307471-2048x704.jpg 2048w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Black Skimmers</figcaption></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNTA4IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDUwOCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="508" data-id="171169" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-630x508.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-171169" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-630x508.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-300x242.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-768x619.jpg 768w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-1536x1238.jpg 1536w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/193659031-2048x1651.jpg 2048w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Spotted Sandpiper</figcaption></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDQ2IiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDQ0NiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="446" data-id="171171" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-630x446.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-171171" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-630x446.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-300x213.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-768x544.jpg 768w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-1536x1088.jpg 1536w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/354419271-2048x1451.jpg 2048w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Solitary Sandpiper</figcaption></figure></figure><p>Want more about the Meeting of the Waters and my trip to Brazil?

Almost as if by accident, Hannah landed the dream job of Park Ranger in the Rio Grande Valley at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park where she guided many birders who filled her head with far-off destinations and incredible birds. Consequently, her beat is Adventures in Birding Here and There.Called home to the Oregon Coast to operate the family motel, in her free time Hannah leads Tufted Puffin walks and escapes to guide at birding festivals and explore the world as often as possible. Hannah is passionate about travel, tourism, and birding and hopes to inspire others through her podcasts: Hannah and Erik Go Birding, Women Birders (Happy Hour), and Bird Nerd Book
