BIRDS OF ESTEROS DEL IBERA
.
The biodiversity, of birds in particular, in this area is remarkable and it is so easy to see relatively rare species up close. In general, humans are not perceived as threats by the species in this area, in particular by the resident birds.
At the last count it was estimated that there are 328 different species of bird that either live here or migrate through, and that is not counting sub-species and morphs. There are about 8 endangered bird species in the area and I have seen them all since April 2010.
Some of the photos below were taken in Buenos Aires province, and a couple in Missiones, but all of the birds have been seen in the Esteros del Ibera.
I have done my best to identify all of the following birds, but errors can be made and I would be grateful if you would inform me if you disagree with any of my identifications - info@collett-trust.org Likewise, the commonality is from my own experience and is related to this area rather than Argentina as a whole.
New pics unclude the Striped Owl, Large-billed Tern, Pearly-vented Tody-tyrant, Azure Gallinule, Ash-throated Crake, Crested Doradito, Grassland Sparrow, the endangered Saffron-cowled Blackbird, Marsh Seedeater, Dark-throated Seedeater, Sporophila morph, Sooty-fronted Spinetail, Nacunda Night Hawk, Orange-headed Tanager, Chotoy Spinetail, Streamer-tailed Tyrant and Pale-breasted thrush. I am gradually putting them in the correct order.

These photos were all taken by me (bar a Marsh Seedeater taken by Jim Lawrence of Birdlife and a Little Nightjar taken by Gregory Guida). You are welcome to use any of my pictures provided you credit them to the Collett Trust.
