I am amazed for a trip, not being a birding trip, I saw 61 different species of birds while visiting Argentina! No surprise then for 37 bird species to be new ones for my life list of birds! Yes!

Here are some of the birds I saw. The Patagonian mockingbird reminded me of mockingbirds at my home. They are constantly calling and changing their calls.

An easy gull to identify:

Shovelers have a distinct bill. I just needed to learn the one I saw is a red shoveler:

Arriving at a lagoon, I saw this swan and immediately knew it was a new species for me!

I loved looking at this bird’s eye:

This bird I almost didn’t capture with my camera and knew it would be a new species for me:

I’ve seen ibises, but here was a black-faced ibis:

There were many other birds I photographed; however, I would have loved my larger zoom lens to truly have better photos. Yet, it was not birding trip so I think my smaller zoom did okay! A great trip with my fellow travelers sharing in the joy of seeing birds as we learned about each country we visited. What fun each day! If you missed the birds I saw in Chile, then click here.
