ARGENTINA 2003

“Giant Hummingbirds sailing effortlessly between the columnar cacti of the Humahuaca Valley, Blue-capped Pufflegs whose striking colors were evident even in the shadows of the yungas forest of Calilegua, the sunset reds and oranges of Red-tailed Comets streaking across the Yala Valley... Hummingbirds were only one of the many families that gave birding highlights to the High Andes week in Argentina. Birding began as soon as we landed in Salta. Both the expected and the unexpected appeared during our first 24 hours, including Great Rufous Woodcreeper in the latter category and a Spot-backed Puffbird and Cream-backed Woodpecker claiming prizes for highlights in the former category. Fortunately, not all of us were dozing in the early morning as we entered Calilegua National Park as Lorette’s sharp eyes spotted a Red-legged Seriema in a most unexpected place. Thus began 1½ days that was to have us seeing the birdlife of the Yungas Forest nonstop. As Slaty Elaenias uttered their distinctive call, Fulvous-headed Brush-Finches, Mountain Wrens and Azara’s Spinetails had us peering through bamboo stalks for jigsaw glimpses until finally the birds yielded and gave full views for all. Mixed species flocks, the occasional raptor including a perched White-rumped Hawk and large flocks of Mitred Parakeets and the red-data listed Alder Parrots along with incredible views of a Giant Antshrike were only a few highlights of our all too-short time in the park.

The scenic Yala Valley, legendary amongst birders as a must-visit-site for Rufous-throated Dipper, was tempting enough that we were able to leave Calilegua with few regrets. And, we were not disappointed as constant scanning of the Yala River finally yielded a dipper that provided ‘scope views for all. Although a second visit was required to find Torrent Ducks, a pre-breakfast return to the Yala Valley was not minded as we had superb views of the ducks as well as repeat sightings of Rufous-throated Dippers.

During our ascent toward the high-altitude village of Abra Pampa, each stop, whether for birding, lunch or a scenic photographic stop, was filled with birds – from the endemic Moreno’s Ground Dove to tit-spinetails, hummingbirds or sierra-finches. There was no time or desire for napping although we all found ourselves moving a bit more slowly as the increasing altitude became apparent. Staying at the corner shop in this small village that seldom sees foreigners, having llama for dinner and introducing giggling children in the townsquare to their local birds through looks in the telescope complemented the birds that had been sighted that day.

Remote Pozuelos National Monument gave a feeling of being at the top of the world. The lake had receded this year with virtually no water so scanning for the desired pink haze of flamingos was a bit more difficult than most years. However, perseverance paid off as we drove through the baked earth of the lake edge and finally sighted a rivulet of water that led to shapes in the distance that could be imagined as flamingos. As we watched Puna Plovers and Red-necked Phalaropes and walked toward the lake edge, the hoped-for pink glow led us to hundreds of Chilean and Andean Flamingos, finally providing excellent study views of each. The one James’ flamingo sighted at the Abra Pampa lagoon while watching Puna Ibises earlier in the morning proved fortuitous as none could be found at Pozuelos this year. Gray-breasted and Least Seedsnipes, canasteros, earthcreepers, and an Ornate Tinamou for some added to our Pozuelos experience throughout the day.

Contentment reigned as we descended the Andes the final day toward the airport in Jujuy with birding continued until the final moment as a new family for most in the form of White-tipped Plantcutter was sighted and, finally and most appropriately for an Andean birding trip, Andean Condors were sighted soaring over the mountain tops!

An Andean trip taken alone is a birding spectacle, but combined with the Pampas and Patagonia is birding overload. Costenera Sur, even on a rainy day, proved to be one of Buenos Aires best points as we encountered non-stop birding throughout the day. Once again, the unexpected prevailed as a Stripe-backed Bittern provided one of the day’s highlights. (And this was after Spot-backed Gallinules, the World’s only parasitic duck - Black-headed Duck, Rosy-billed Pochards and many other species had been seen). The Pampas were superb as sun prevailed and wind stayed as a moderate level. Gilded, White-throated and Glittering-bellied Hummingbirds enjoyed the weather as much as we did. An incredible South American Painted-Snipe took the title of most unexpected and the sheer spectacle of waterbirds, Greater Rheas, and Southern Screamers complemented our 2 days there. And on to Patagonia, that wind-swept land that appears barren to some but is filled with bird life for groups like ours. Although our itinerary was changed a bit this year, thanks to airline schedules, the experience was no less spectacular. Our days on the Valdez Peninsula and at Punta Tambo were filled with too many highlights to mention – Southern Right Whales surfacing beside our boat, so close you could hear their breath, Elegant Crested Tinamous almost always appearing in groups of 3 (what a life those males have with 2 females at their sides), the experience of walking through a Magellanic Penguin colony, Chubut Steamerducks, Snowy Sheathbills….

The land of fire, Tierra del Fuego, provided the best of the best from sightings of Black-browed Albatrosses, cormorants, skuas, and Magellanic Diving-Petrels on the Beagle Channel to the Yellow-bridled Finch finally sighted after much searching on the Martial Glacier. And, none of us will ever forget the Magellanic Woodpeckers that entertained us by posing ever so well for photographs for over half-an-hour as we enjoyed the southern beech forest of Tierra del Fuego National Park. A second boat trip from Harberton to access the penguin colony in the Beagle Channel was magical as we watched undisturbed Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins go about their daily routines on an undisturbed island. Rio Grande provided wind as usual but did not distract from our enjoyment of Rufous-throated Dotterels, a pair of mainland endangered Ruddy-headed Geese, nesting Peregrine Falcons and Black-faced Ibises.

The Moreno Glacier and Calafate provided a fitting conclusion to our Patagonia experience as Rufous-tailed Plantcutters, Chilean Flickers, an Austral Pygmy-Owl and Austral Parakeets filled our birding needs while the scenic beauty and natural sounds of the glacier filled our aesthetic desires. The pirouetting of Magallenic Plovers, a new family for all, was worth a second visit to the lake for repeat views. The Winds of Patagonia will remain forever etched in the memories of all of us who tackled the walk to Lake Escachardos on the final morning as we watched Chocolate-vented Ground-Tyrants struggle to stay aloft (while thinking about how welcome a cup of hot chocolate would be at the time) and seedsnipe lead us toward the lake.

For those who continued on for the final week of the Argentinian adventure, Iguazú lived up to expectations of a tropical birding extravaganza. Common Potoos and a Tropical Screech Owl filled our night-birding desires our first night in the area, setting the stage for more birding highlights to come. Our hotel with Iguazú Falls as a backdrop provided an incredible staging point for early morning breakfasts followed by birding only a short walk or drive from the hotel. Great Dusky Swifts filled the sky at times and scenic walks around the falls afforded opportunities to observe nests and roosting behaviors of the swifts. White-eyed Foliage-Gleaners perched in the open, Southern Antpipits made us work hard until we all finally obtained tickable views, a Spot-billed Toucanet posed for ‘scope views and the ‘red-data listed’ Black-fronted Piping-Guans that were on the rocks in the river after our visit to Garganta del Diablo provided one of the week’s highlights for all. A tiny Rufous Gnateater perched in the open was a prize for those who forewent an afternoon siesta.

Our ample buffet meals that provided energy for yet more birding each day were complemented by the changing scenery of the falls from the restaurant windows - from heavy mist rising in the early morning to large volumes of water lit by the mid-day sun to pouring rain obscuring any evidence of the waterfall in the distance. A visit to hummingbird feeders in the town of Iguazu demonstrated the diversity of hummingbirds in the area that we never experienced during forest walks. With perseverance, we finally saw some of the sought-for crakes and rails of the area on our final full day as a Blackish Rail and a Slaty-breasted Wood-Rail walked across the road in the early morning and an Ash-throated Crake stood in the open by a muddy track at last light. The rain on our final morning may have shortened our week’s list somewhat, but did not in any way diminish the enjoyment of an incredible week’s birding in a tropical paradise.” Judy Davis.
