I found myself with a day to spare in Buenos Aires, en route from Lima, Peru to San Mart\u00edn de los Andes, in Northern Patagonia. I spent a few hours in the Reserva Ec\u00f3logica Costanera Sur (RECS) – had lunch and then went up to the Northern Suburbs to the Vicente Reserve. It was a gorgeous day – hot and clear, with a light shore breeze. This time I was on my own.<\/p>\n

I found a few life-listers: at least the giant wood rail costanera, the stripe-cheeked sparrow (tbc) and the\u00a0The greenish yellow finch (tbc) at the RECS and the\u00a0limpkin\u00a0and fawn-breasted tanager (tbc) at the Vte. Lopez Reserve. Some of these and some others are still to be confirmed (tbc). Pictures of these follow immediately, and then I have posted a selection of some older friends.<\/p>\n
