GUIDING
- Please take note I offer full-day worry-free birding trips to
the best hotspots in the Buenos Aires area. We can visit productive
nature reserves or inland country areas with spectacular habitats
that will really "up" your list. Spring/summer species
count should easily top 100 spp., and in winter you can expect about
80 spp. I bring an English-language field guide and checklist for
the outing. I provide transport and sort out meals for the day.
I am normally available on weekends, but can sometimes accomodate
a weekday as well.
If you are interested kindly email me.

Selection
of FIELD GUIDES and other books on the birds and wildlife of Argentina
and the region
I have put together a compendium of useful links from where you
may select and purchase (via Amazon) a good number of natural
history books about the fauna of South America. This includes
birding field guides and other useful books for your birding trip
to the region, as well as some travel guides. There are also some
books to introduce you to the food, wine and music of the land
- even tango!
Check out basic differences, pros and cons, and then purchase
on-line from Amazon - it will help support this site!

BirdLife's
World Conservation Conference 2008 merits a few words...
This 6-day gathering was held in Buenos Aires during September
2008.
Aves Argentinas, the local BirdLife partner, hosted
this very successful event, held every 4 years to set the strategic
goals for the new period and to vote in new Birdlife authorities.
First time to be held in the Americas, and attended by over 600
delegates.
The event was named "Taking on the Mellennium Challenge".
BirdLife is
a partnership linking bird conservation organizations worldwide.

I
can recommend visiting my website of the Ribera
Norte nature reserve (site is both in English & Spanish)
This has a page on birding in the Buenos Aires area with much useful
information, and describes other reserves too.
If you are coming to
Argentina for birding I would be delighted to answer any questions you
might have about your trip.
Also kindly consider hiring me as a birding guide. I can take you to many
hotspots, starting early for a full day of birding!

Hope you enjoy these
photos, and remember: always do your bit to help wildlife survive for
future generations...
Argentina´s
first nature conservation NGO.
It's aim is conservation of the avian population thorugh education
and management actions.
