A quick stroll around the La Vega suburb of San Mart\u00edn today revealed a few old favourites and no real surprises except perhaps a dormilona cara negra (aka Dark-faced Ground-Tyrant<\/strong>) Muscisaxicola maclovianus<\/em>) – see further below – which I don’t see here regularly.<\/p>\n

First off the Zorzal Patag\u00f3nico (Austral Thrush<\/strong>), a common sight here. Here’s one perching on a post.<\/p>\n

The tero (Southern Lapwing<\/strong>) is always here, and screeches at and dive-bombs anything and everything. They are ground nesters, and this one seems to be sitting on eggs)<\/p>\n

Where there’s water you’re likely to find the Remolinera com\u00fan\u00a0(Bar-winged Cinclodes<\/strong>) and today was no exception.<\/p>\n

And here’s the Dormilona I mentioned, the Dark-faced Ground-Tyrant<\/strong>, one of three dormilonas I’m familiar with although there are six or seven in Argentina.<\/p>\n

The Cacha\u00f1a (Austral Parakeet<\/strong>) is very common around San Martin – here’s a close up.<\/p>\n

And finally, no bird trip around San Mart\u00edn fails to see the Bandurria austral (Black-faced Ibis<\/strong>), recently voted as\u00a0the bird emblem of the area.<\/p>\n

All in all a nice short stroll; nothing special but good to be out again with the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
