A few birds from Buenos Aires
From Buenos Aires, Argentina, Kenn writes:
"We were walking for hours and for miles in the huge Costanera Sur reserve right in the city, developing a good January sunburn in the process."
"Buenos Aires is a city of around ten million people, and it's amazing to have this superb nature reserve within walking distance of the downtown hotels."
"A recurrent drought has dried up the ponds that usually have hordes of waterbirds, but we did see a great variety of landbirds."
"It's after midnight here in Argentina and we're too wasted to write anything, but here are a few pictures, anyway."
Looking at a small part of the skyline of Buenos Aires, Argentina, from across the Costanera Sur Nature Reserve
Picazuro Pigeon --
This native pigeon is abundant in the reserve
Bay-winged Cowbird --
The most attractive of the three local species of cowbirds (this one is not a brood parasite, but its nests are parasitized by another species, the Screaming Cowbird)
Green-barred Woodpecker, lurking in deep shade --
As you might guess by looking, this bird is related to the flickers in North America
This young White-rumped Swallow was waiting to be fed by its parents. Early January is mid-summer here, and we saw recently fledged young birds of several species.

"Diego made sure that we lingered long enough at each place for taking photos. Another reason why we enjoyed his services is that Diego is quite knowledgable about other wildlife and plants in the region, not just the bird species. If I travel to the Buenos Aires area in the future, Diego will be the first person I will call. I would highly recommend him to anyone who
plans to bird there."

"I found Diego through an internet search and was glad I did. Over the course of a couple of days, he showed me many birds, took me to some interesting locations, found comfortable lodgings along the way and, most of all, was great company. I have birded in many countries around the world and Diego was as good an ambassador for his country and his country's avifauna as any other I have had. Recommended."
Rob W. (New Jersey) two days in Entre Rios, March 2010
"Our big trip to Argentina and Chile was a great success, with over 400 birds, 210 lifers and 46 species of waders. The scenery was spectacular and the birds and mammals were very good. Most of our lifers were seen in the Buenos Aires area, in 2 days, with our guide Diego"
From the annual birding report by Dave and Lyn, South Africa. We did together Urban Reserves and Ceibas.
"A clear highlight of the trip was our days birding with you. We saw so many beautiful birds and had a great time seeing the country as well. I think everyone should go birding at Otomendi and Ceibas not to mention Ribera Norte.You were so great in helping us. Thank you again for showing us such great places."

J. L. Speranza
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Diego Gallegos writes: "When I was 12, W. H. Hudson´s delightful “Far Away and Long Ago” fell into my hands. The birds, the nature and the people in those pristine pampas of 1850 were depicted so vividly that I was forever hooked. Time passed, and .... I got my university degree (equivalent to a BSc) in Biology in the University of Buenos Aires. I worked many years as the manager of the traditional Aves Argentinas (formerly Asociación Ornitológica del Plata) and at the same time, I was unexpectedly called to guide my first group of birdwatchers. Since then, I led many other groups from the USA, UK or Europe, and more recently also individual travellers. At present I keep guiding for local and international travel agents, but most of my clients are individuals or couples that find me in the Internet and contact me directly. Meet some of them -and have a look at their bird pictures- in the Birds & People section! Married to a biology teacher, we live with our four kids in a northern suburb of Buenos Aires. We spend much of our spare time in the countryside and we take every opportunity to travel around Argentina The birding as I see it. The experience gave me a good understanding of what makes a successful birdwatching tour, and how this can change from one person to the other. Furthermore, I understand every outing as an excellent opportunity to meet people with a shared interest in birds an nature. A common interest that usually leads to conversations in many other subjects. Despite the long time I have been guiding, I keep having the same fun I had when I guided my first group. And I love to share that joy."

Here are A. Earnshaw's photos of birds of Argentina, taken in the wild (but for a handful of exceptions).
The Earnshaw collection contains 5,422 photos covering 487 bird species.
(Argentina hosts about 1,000 different species of birds.)
Site hits February 2006: 26,000 / Site hits May 2008: 59,000
ALL PHOTOS TAKEN BY A. EARNSHAW
(c) Alec Earnshaw 1992-2011
Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
The core of this site are the 2 tables (NON-PASSERINE ORDERS and PASSERINE FAMILIES) that access the photo pages.
For each row the name in bold is the illustrated species.

Worry-free birding trips to the best hotspots in the Buenos Aires area.
We can visit productive nature reserves or inland country areas with spectacular habitats that will really "up" your list.
Spring/summer species count should easily top 100 spp., and in winter you can expect about 80 spp.
An English-language field guide and checklist for the outing available.
Selection of FIELD GUIDES and other books on the birds and wildlife of Argentina and the region
A compendium of useful links from where you may select and purchase (via Amazon) a good number of natural history books about the fauna of Buenos Aires -- La Plata.
This includes birding field guides and other useful books for your birding trip to the region, as well as some travel guides. There are also some books to introduce you to the food, wine and music of the land - even tango!

MY BEST SHOTS
The main body of this site contains many, many photos, but a lot of them are not up to par. So I've put together a collection of some of the more outstanding ones, either because they are striking, technically OK, or of rare and endagered species that are hard to see - and much less photograph! Enjoy!

For nostalgic reasons I've left a link to the old "Top 10" page, with some favorite early photos, from 2001 or before. They do look so poor now!!!

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Guillermo Enrique Hudson (William Henry Hudson en inglés) (Ingeniero Allan, Florencio Varela, Argentina; 4 de agosto de 1841 - Worthing, Inglaterra; 18 de agosto de 1922), naturalista y escritor nacido en la Argentina, que luego emigró a Inglaterra.
Nació en la zona rural ubicada en la actual localidad de Ingeniero Allan, en ese entonces una zona rural del partido de Quilmes (hoy partido de Florencio Varela), el 4 de agosto de 1841, 4º hijo de Daniel Hudson y de Carolina Augusta Kimble, quienes se casaron en Boston, Estados Unidos, en 1827 y llegaron al Río de la Plata en 1837, en el vapor "Potomac".
Se afincan en una suerte de estancia de 400 varas de frente por legua y media de largo, adquirida a Tristán Nuño Valdéz, cuñado a su vez del hacendado Juan Manuel de Rosas, llamada los "25 Ombúes". Allí comienzan una ardua vida de hacendados con la cría de ovejas.
El matrimonio se ve bendecido por la llegada de 6 hijos, 4 varones y dos niñas. Su cuarto hijo se hace famoso describiendo los alrededores de su rancho natal, en su autobiografía "Allá lejos y hace tiempo". Los niños de origen anglosajón, eran llevados a bautizar a la ciudad de Buenos Aires, en la Primera Iglesia Metodista en la Avenida Corrientes, existe un registro de bautismos, que contiene las partidas de esos primeros hijos.
Cincuenta años después, en 1891, se crea el nuevo partido de Florencio Varela, sobre el pueblo de San Juan. Al fallecer Guillermo Enrique Hudson, el Dr. Fernando Pozzo, (médico y eminente ciudadano e intendente de Quilmes), se aboca a difundir su memoria. Primero dicta una conferencia en la Facultad de Medicina. Más tarde ubica con su esposa el rancho natal y crea una Asociación de Amigos en 1941, plantan un histórico "ombú" y descubren un monolito en la esquina de la antigua estanzuela los "25 Ombúes", festejando con éxito la donación del solar natal del Escritor y primer naturalista argentino, en las antiguas tierras del Visconde Davidson, el mismo se encuentra en la zona rural del actual partido de Florencio Varela, es declarada "Reserva Natural" por la Ley 12.584 de la provincia de Buenos Aires en 2000, y allí funciona un museo evocativo.
Su primera directora, "ad honorem" durante los primeros años fue la Profesora Violeta Shinya, sobrina nieta del escritor. Difundió su obra y promovió el lugar en su larga trayectoria educativa y directiva; obteniendo importantes logros y donaciones, para ampliar de las 4 ha iniciales, llegar a la antigua estanzuela, preservando así la belleza del lugar. Crea también 2 bibliotecas y restaura el antiguo rancho natal.
Guillermo E. HudsonActualmente es una reserva natural que abarca 54 ha. Por el predio pasan los arroyos "Las Conchitas" y Santo Domingo", y tiene una amplia variedad de ecosistemas con animales y plantas nativas, manteniendo el paisaje como lo viera su tío abuelo en su tierna infancia. [2] dedicado a su memoria. Descendientes de los primeros colonos "Pioneros" de América.
En 1874 afectado por una grave dolencia cardíaca, se mudó a Londres, Inglaterra. Al año siguiente se casa con Emily Wingrave. Fue cofundador de la primera sociedad real protectora de las Aves: "Bird Protection Royal Society" (1922) Pero por no ser Lord inglés, cede la presidencia. Fallece en Worthing, West Sussex, Londres, el 18 de agosto de 1922. Su tumba se encuentra en Broadwater (Sussex) (Sussex; parte de Worthing), West Sussex, Inglaterra.
En su honor se nombró con su apellido la localidad homónima del Partido de Berazategui, provincia de Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Guillermo Enrique Hudson (William Henry Hudson en inglés) (Ingeniero Allan, Florencio Varela, Argentina; 4 de agosto de 1841 - Worthing, Inglaterra; 18 de agosto de 1922), naturalista y escritor nacido en la Argentina, que luego emigró a Inglaterra.
Nació en la zona rural ubicada en la actual localidad de Ingeniero Allan, en ese entonces una zona rural del partido de Quilmes (hoy partido de Florencio Varela), el 4 de agosto de 1841, 4º hijo de Daniel Hudson y de Carolina Augusta Kimble, quienes se casaron en Boston, Estados Unidos, en 1827 y llegaron al Río de la Plata en 1837, en el vapor "Potomac".
Se afincan en una suerte de estancia de 400 varas de frente por legua y media de largo, adquirida a Tristán Nuño Valdéz, cuñado a su vez del hacendado Juan Manuel de Rosas, llamada los "25 Ombúes". Allí comienzan una ardua vida de hacendados con la cría de ovejas.
El matrimonio se ve bendecido por la llegada de 6 hijos, 4 varones y dos niñas. Su cuarto hijo se hace famoso describiendo los alrededores de su rancho natal, en su autobiografía "Allá lejos y hace tiempo". Los niños de origen anglosajón, eran llevados a bautizar a la ciudad de Buenos Aires, en la Primera Iglesia Metodista en la Avenida Corrientes, existe un registro de bautismos, que contiene las partidas de esos primeros hijos.
Cincuenta años después, en 1891, se crea el nuevo partido de Florencio Varela, sobre el pueblo de San Juan. Al fallecer Guillermo Enrique Hudson, el Dr. Fernando Pozzo, (médico y eminente ciudadano e intendente de Quilmes), se aboca a difundir su memoria. Primero dicta una conferencia en la Facultad de Medicina. Más tarde ubica con su esposa el rancho natal y crea una Asociación de Amigos en 1941, plantan un histórico "ombú" y descubren un monolito en la esquina de la antigua estanzuela los "25 Ombúes", festejando con éxito la donación del solar natal del Escritor y primer naturalista argentino, en las antiguas tierras del Visconde Davidson, el mismo se encuentra en la zona rural del actual partido de Florencio Varela, es declarada "Reserva Natural" por la Ley 12.584 de la provincia de Buenos Aires en 2000, y allí funciona un museo evocativo.
Su primera directora, "ad honorem" durante los primeros años fue la Profesora Violeta Shinya, sobrina nieta del escritor. Difundió su obra y promovió el lugar en su larga trayectoria educativa y directiva; obteniendo importantes logros y donaciones, para ampliar de las 4 ha iniciales, llegar a la antigua estanzuela, preservando así la belleza del lugar. Crea también 2 bibliotecas y restaura el antiguo rancho natal.
Guillermo E. HudsonActualmente es una reserva natural que abarca 54 ha. Por el predio pasan los arroyos "Las Conchitas" y Santo Domingo", y tiene una amplia variedad de ecosistemas con animales y plantas nativas, manteniendo el paisaje como lo viera su tío abuelo en su tierna infancia. [2] dedicado a su memoria. Descendientes de los primeros colonos "Pioneros" de América.
En 1874 afectado por una grave dolencia cardíaca, se mudó a Londres, Inglaterra. Al año siguiente se casa con Emily Wingrave. Fue cofundador de la primera sociedad real protectora de las Aves: "Bird Protection Royal Society" (1922) Pero por no ser Lord inglés, cede la presidencia. Fallece en Worthing, West Sussex, Londres, el 18 de agosto de 1922. Su tumba se encuentra en Broadwater (Sussex) (Sussex; parte de Worthing), West Sussex, Inglaterra.
En su honor se nombró con su apellido la localidad homónima del Partido de Berazategui, provincia de Buenos Aires

Villa Speranza, Hudson Country
J. L. Speranza
Buenos Aires, Argentina
William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist.
Hudson was born in the Quilmes, a borough (partido) of the greater Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, son of settlers of U.S. origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms.
Hudson settled in England during 1874. He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888–1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Day (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s.
He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
Hudson's best known novel is Green Mansions (1904), and his best known non-fiction is Far Away and Long Ago (1918).
In Argentina, Hudson is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson, the Spanish version of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him.
Towards the end of his life, Hudson moved to Worthing in Sussex, England. His grave is in Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery in Worthing.
