Our group at Siete Hermanos in yet another grand landscape of Northwestern Argentina (Panorama by guide Dave Stejskal)
I have to say that this year we had another very successful Northwest Argentina trip. It was fantastic to visit a country featuring such a variety of different places, and this tour manages to cover a lot of them. To find the birds we traveled from very hot chaco to the pleasant moist yungas and to the breathtaking altiplano. To reach these fascinating places we drove across canyons, large dry valleys, and high mountains. The journeys were worth it to find the most incredible birds with very peculiar names like Firewood-gatherer, which we saw gathering; Sandy Gallito, which observed in a very arid place; and Salinas Monjita, an obligate of the salt flats. These birds are named for what they do or where they live.
Our tour also provided the opportunity to see many endemics and a lot of important and very range-restricted species. Cordoba was a really great place with many birds unique to the area, including the Spot-winged Falconet. Tucuman enabled us to see a great variety of good birds such as Rufous-throated Dipper, Yellow-striped Brush-Finch, White-browed Tapaculo, Bare-eyed Ground-Dove, and Tucuman Mountain-Finch. During our drive along the dry valley between Tucuman and Cafayate, we made another good stop with several more endemics, the best being White-throated Cacholote and Sandy Gallito. But the scenery was also spectacular. We watched a lot of exciting birds in Salta, including Maquis Canastero, Zimmer's Tapaculo, Rufous-bellied Saltator, and Rock Earthcreeper. The Chaco was possibly the hardest place for us on the trip, but there was a lot of good birding to had nevertheless. Highlights were Stripe-backed Antbird and a possible split, the "Red-billed" Scythebill found here. In the Yungas we were especially lucky with nightbirds, including a perched Rufous Nightjar. The Montane Forest Screech-Owl was the winner the first night, it was soon surpassed the next night when a Lyre-tailed Nightjar gave us a fantastic show.
To add an exciting finale, the Altiplano was also amazing! On our visit to Pozuelos we had Wedge-tailed Hillstar, three species of flamingos, families of Horned Coots, avocets, Puna Plovers, and two species of seedsnipe. The highlands near La Quiaca completed the fun with big numbers of Citron-headed Yellow-Finches, Red-backed Sierra-Finches, and the Diademed Sandpiper-Plover. And yet the top prize among highlights in the Antiplano was not a bird but the big Puma!
Argentina was fantastic for all the above, but I have to also mention the fantastic meat dishes (parrilla) and the inexpensive but delicious wine that we enjoyed!
From Dave and me, many thanks to all of you for coming with us on this tour! We hope that you had a great time -- we certainly enjoyed it.
