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 can provide 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. Alec Earnshaw

Birdlife's World Conservation Conference 2008
Aves Argentinas, the local Birdlife partner, hosted this very successful event, held every 4 years to vote the authorities and to set the strategic goals for the new period. It was the first time it was held in the Americas and was attended by over 600 delegates.
This 6-day gathering was held in Buenos Aires from 22-27 September 2008.
The event was named "Taking on the Mellennium Challenge"
For more information about Birdlife, check out their website - HERE


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.
