Birds of Patagonia
by Luis Villablanca

Located at the southern tip of South America, Patagonia is a destination which may be on your bucket list for hiking at the magnificent Torres del Paine National Park, visiting its fjords on a cruise, or just as a gateway to places like Antarctica or the Falkland Islands. It has some beautiful landscapes with mountains, rivers and glaciers.

However, a good portion of this land is covered by vast apparently barren pampas, with shrubs deformed by the fierce Patagonian wind. This is the home for many bird species which come to this latitude either to nest during the austral spring or to take a break from the boreal winter until they undertake their return trip north in a few months.
In late October I had a chance to visit the area and photograph many of the local bird species, which I will share with you during this presentation
