Birding Argentina 2011 - Final Post

Short and sweet.  Argentina was amazing.  Buenos Aries was very fun.  Paula and Michelle went to a Tango show on our last night and had a blast.  Brig and I slept!

Our hotel was near the park where we started this birding trip.  Brig and I went out before our plane departed and spent some time in that park.  First thing I noticed was that the Troupial didn't look like it had a couple of weeks earlier.  Tough light but here is what we saw this last day. 





Notice that the bird has a nearly full black head.  Note that the one in the earlier post has just a black mask.  Turns out the bird that is rare to this area has more than one cousin here! 

Otherwise it was fun to see right here in the city birds like the Spectacled Tyrant





Our friend the Guira Cuckoo



The Black Hooded Parakeet



Walking along the waterfront it was fun to see some really progressive architecture and a vibrant society.





In the background in this next shot is the bridge behind Brig, Chelle and Paula. 



This beautiful bridge known as the Women's Bridge was donated by a local businessman.



Click on this one.



Really a fun trip.
