Things have definitely slowed down a bit in terms of new species. I am in desperate need of new ecosystems. I am not sure if I will be able to reach 200 before heading to Ushuaia (bottom tip of Argentina). However, I am sure that with a month in Ushuaia, and a possible week in Bariloche (mountains, western Argentina), I will easily reach my goal of 200 birds in Argentina.
1. Chilean Flamingo
2. Southern Screamer (though he didn't say shit)
3. Purple Gallinule
4. Large-billed Tern
5. Glittering-bellied Emerald (finally a hummingbird [identified {they're fast little buggers}])
6. Chequered Woodpecker
7. White-barred Piculet (aka #100)
8. Great Antshrike ("startling" red eye, like meeting your first albino)
9. Pearly-vented Tody-tryant (long name for a teeny bird)
10. Grey-breasted Martin
11. Yellowish Pipit
12. Sayaca Tanager (possibly the only tanager in this part of Argentina)
13. Solitary Cacique
14. Epaulet Oriole
99 + 14 = 113 total species.
Great photos!! Keep'm come'n!
