Argentina Part 2

Mystery critter?? He was at the Iguazu Falls . Very aggressive animal!! He jumped up on the table of a girl next to us and grabbed her sandwich in his mouth and ran off with it. We all just could not believe what we had just seen.
This bird was everywhere. Very loud and wanted us to know he was there. The plush crested Jay. Just to let you all know I did also get some shots of birds.
This is Valerie our host at Rincon De Socorro in the Iberia wetlands. You could only get here by truck,bus or horse. Very rough dirt roads. We did ride horses here but I can't seem to find a picture of us o the horse's. Hmmm
This is our chef. All his life he wanted to be a chef here at the lodge. He worked his way up to that position. First he was the horse stall person then when there was an opening at the kitchen he was a helper and now the chef. Dreams do come true even in a very small place of maybe 20 people and his village of 40.He saved his money, bought a computer and watched cooking classes on line to see how to make the food. Very good food. We rode horses out to his village to see where he came from.
Just a spread of what we ate. YUMMMMM

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..
