Cacicus haemorrhous
long, hanging bag shaped nest
transition zone between Atlantic coast rainforest and cerrado.
I spotted this at Parque Natural do Caraca. I thought only Oropendulas build these type of nests, then I learned about Caciques.

Thanks ceherzog, Ashish and Jen.
cool shot
I see similar hanging nests of weaver birds 15 years ago close to mountain. Thanks for reminding it. I have a new mission in mind. They prefer mostly giant Palm tree.
How cool is that!!!
