We arrive in São Paulo for client meetings. The meetings are canceled on the first day, but we didn't know that yet. Still, a few photos from the hotel window.

My first bird photo in Brazil, from the hotel window. Sao Paulo is a busy city with many high-rise buildings, yet there are many trees on every street. These pigeons benefit from this.
The photo shows a Ruddy ground dove (Columbina talpacoti). It is a bird in the order Columbiformes and the family Columbidae. The photo was taken at Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil at 18:01 on Wednesday October 22, 2014.
