I made a return trip to R\u00edo Gallegos in November 2015. This time it was for work (to give one or two talks at a local\u00a0teachers’ conference) but it was a good chance to meet up with my friend Emanuel Tiber\u00ed and do a little birding.<\/p>\n

We took a half day and went out to Punta Loyola, an area that Emanuel knows well as he is working on the reserve there. I was lucky enough to see one or too lifers while there (Least Seedsnipe<\/strong>, Chocolate-vented Tyrant<\/strong>, Collared Plover <\/strong>and Tawny-throated Dotterel<\/strong>) , so it was a good outing.<\/p>\n

Here are a few photos I took on the morning outing:<\/p>\n

In the afternoon I walked out along the costanera before taking my flight back north and took my final shot of the trip: possibly the most common bird in Patagonia, but always a delightful one: the chingolo.<\/p>\n
