Buenos Aires,

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!

A word about BirdLife's 2008 World Conservation Conference

This 6-day gathering was held in BA in September 2008.

Aves Argentinas, the local partner, hosted the event held every 4 years to set strategic goals and vote in new authorities. First time in the Americas, with 600+ delegates.

BirdLife is a partnership linking bird conservation organizations worldwide.

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!!!
