According to the distribution map , their migration takes them as far south as Argentina, but decidedly less common in central and eastern South America. I’ve seen them many times on Trinidad but they are much rarer on Tobago. On the same morning after we saw the Bobolinks , I attempted to have breakfast parked up in another marsh.

In any case, screech-owls are birds of the Megascops genus, small nocturnal owls found in wooded habitats from southern Alaska to northern Argentina. I suppose that sounds better than “tremulous”, “modulating”, or “little hooting” owls even if any of those names would be more accurate.

This individual was seen in Costanera Sur, Argentina and found a gentle pish to be simply irresistible. The Rufous-capped Warbler, B. rufifrons occasionally strays to southern Texas or Arizona, but on the whole, they are seldom seen north of the border. The Argentinian birds come from the B.c. aureocapillus group of races.

Our range of destinations is reduced as required and this week I said a fond farewell to Buenos Aires , Argentina. Adios Argentina. You may know by now that my beat as international birder is being pinched by re-allocation of routes from our DMARDS-dependent fleet to our cost-effective colleagues. But what goes around, comes around.

And here’s what I found for Argentina… And for Santa Fe. At any rate let it be known to all readers here that the White-naped Xenopsaris is (probably) migratory in Argentina!

Usually I see these birds in ones and twos, but a trip to Argentina in the southern spring brought much greater numbers. Despite their similarities, the White-tufted Grebe belongs to the Rollandia genus ( Rollandia Rolland ), though some older field guides acknowledged the likeness by using Podiceps.

Gulls in Argentina have learned to land on Southern Right Whales as the whales come to the surface to breathe. The gulls then peck at the whales’ backs, causing wounds from which the gulls feed. The solution? Kill the gulls. There has to be a better way to deal with this, no?

It is spring in Argentina. This brood of three Chalk-browed Mockingbirds were waiting for a parent to return with food in the Costanera Sur Reserve by the Rio Plata in Buenos Aires. I concentrated my camera on the chick on the right which was best placed, but not best pleased when an adult delivered a food parcel to one of the other siblings.
