I am way, way behind with my birding logs, and will therefore limit this to a listing of some of the birds I saw and photographed.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon of 19 October 2015 I drove up to Punta Rasa, one of the finest birding sites I have visited and one I can most highly recommend. It’s where freshwater meets seawater, and a stopping off point for migratory species all year round. You never really know what you\u00a0will see there.<\/p>\n

The area around Punta Rasa is also very good for other species (not water birds or migratory species, again all year round).<\/p>\n

So, here are the photos from Punta Rasa – with captions limited to ID info. Lifers of the afternoon were Great Pampa-Finch<\/strong>, Royal Tern<\/strong>, American Golden Plover<\/strong>, Olrog’s Gull<\/strong>, and Snowy-crowned Tern<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
