Hoy durante una jornada de pajareo en la que tuvimos que resignarnos a pegar la vuelta y regresar a Posadas antes que lo habitual, regresando nuevamente por la Ruta provincial 204 a Posadas porque la creciente del Arroyo Garupá y sus afluentes no nos dejó seguir, encontramos a escasos metros del borde del camino a […]

Birding Antalya, Turkey
A few days ago I returned from Antalya, Turkey. I wasn’t there for fun or birding; it was a work trip. I was unable to go anywhere except walk around the hotel grounds and look for whatever wildlife might appear there. However, the grounds were large and beautiful; there were lots of trees, and the […]
Chiripepé cabeza verde (Reddish-bellied Parakeet) Pyrrhura frontalis
El quince de Agosto pasado cuando salÃamos del sendero La olla del Parque Provincial Salto Encantado, una bandada de estos loros al escuchar que nos acercábamos abandonó el lugar de manera muy ruidosa. Sabido es que muchos loros cuando están posados o alimentándose no vocalizan y me sorprendió encontrarme frente a frente con este rezagado […]
First returning Bluethroats – Sabkhat Al Fasl

Teetering on the brink
As Saeed Shanfari and I finished at Dowkah farm so fresh on Monday we pressed on to Qatbeet before turning round. Qatbeet was so far from the coast, it was the only place which was not affected by cyclone chapala at all. It was it’s usual very hot self. Winter coolness arrives later in the […]
Carancho (Southern-crested Caracara) Caracara plancus
Fácil de identificar por su gran tamaño y comportamiento el Carancho sea quizás la rapaz más conocida de nuestra fauna; junto a los Chimangos tal vez sean de los mas abundantes. Infaltable al costado de las rutas de nuestro paÃs alimentándose de los animales atropellados por los vehÃculos cumpliendo por ello una muy importante función […]
