Here is my new bird list from 11/9/11-11/16/11, bringing my Argentina total to 99. Maya and I spent a few minutes spying around the local university this afternoon, which has a beautiful lago out back. We were able to pick up two new species of coot as well as the Wing-barred Seedeater, but we were unable to pick up #100. We are hoping to go back soon, preferably in the morning. There were signs for the Vermilion Flycatcher (which some of you may have seen in the American Southwest) and Great Antshrike. #100 will definitely have it's own tribute page.
1. Whistling Heron
2. Spotted Rail
3. Red-gartered Coot
4. White-winged Coot
5. White-tipped Dove
6. Ruddy Quail-dove (finally deciphered; my binoculars for good plates)
7. Narrow-billed Woodcreeper
8. Yellow-chinned Spinetail
9. Suiriri Flycatcher
10. Small-billed Elaenia
11. Spectacled Tyrant (check out this nerd)
12. White-winged Becard
13. Brown-chested Martin
14. Masked Yellowthroat
15. Double-collared Seedeater
16. Rusty-collared Seedeater
17. Black-capped Warbling-finch
18. Stripe-capped Sparrow
19. Grassland Sparrow
20. Shiny Cowbird
21. Screaming Cowbird
(Just for the record, and so she doesn't beat me with a stick, Maya is well over 100 species, though she did have a head start and a trip to Iguazu Falls to help her out.
Way to go!!! Love your adventures. <3 MB
