Kelp Gull portrait
How exciting to see any avian species I didn’t know existed! Plus others looked familiar to identify them to a family level such as swans or cormorants. However, I think I was as bright-eyed as the White-tufted Grebe at the incredible diversity or as red-eyed as the Silvery Grebes from lack of sleep. But the delicate beauty of the flamingos, in their salty but amazingly colored water, surpassed any loss of sleep.
Relish these few examples from Patagonia, Chile of part 1 while part 2 will concentrate on “land” birds.

So many different species! And all beautifully photographed too. There were a lot that are similar to our North American birds. Nice that Chile has so man endemics. Thanks for another great article and I’m looking forward to part 2.
