We had been birding the north-west side of Argentina for 7 days and drove more than 3,000 km. This was the first part of our birding trip to Argentina and it was coming to an end. The drive back to Tucuman was uneventful and thanks to our trusty GPS we were never lost for very long.

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?

This phoebe is a fixture in the American Southwest and Central America and can be spotted all the way down to Argentina. See Eastern Phoebes in fall by Corey Finger The Black Phoebe ( Sayornis nigricans ) won’t be mistaken for any other bird; nothing else that size shows such dark plumage with a white belly to contrast.

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.

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.

Argentina is calling and the fall migration will soon be underway. I was surprised by the level of protectiveness given the advanced age of the kids, but I guess my main exposure to young hawks is in urban areas where people in proximity are generally tolerated.
