Argentina

The sunrises were amazing. This was at Pellegrini. A very small village. All dirt rodes. We were up at 6 and out the door in a boat this day before the sun to catch shots of the birds.
This is May on the left 75 and packs a hugh camera and tripod everywhere she goes.Then Michelle and Brig who also packed Cameras and tripods. Then there was Sue who was just a birder and listed with a small point and shoot camera.
this is us in the later part of the morning. DAd Brig and Michelle and hte two guides and pushers of the boat. When we were in shallow waters. Marsh's really.
Nate is our guide and he gets right down and dirty with the birds. Ted is in the background. He is a research scientist at OHSU. Eye research.
This is the view of what I watched A LOT. I will continue..
