I came to Northern Patagonia to pursue one of my other passions, fly fishing. However, I carry my camera with me when possible and still try to observe the entire natural world around me. Patagonia is an amazing place. It's still largely unspoiled by man. It doesn't have the diversity of the tropics, but still has some very interesting and unique bird species and for me, they're almost all new species!
After a week here in Northern Patagonia my bird list for 2024 has grown to 76.
