		+	They have a unique bill structure. The bill is broad-based and short. The upper mandible is deeply decurved, fitting over the shorter, upward-curved lower mandible. This allows an extensive movement of both mandibles. The tongue and jaw muscle structure is complex, diverse and highly developed. It allows great power and control in handling and investigating food items.<br />
		+	The legs are short, the head always proportionately broad and large but the neck short. The feet are zygodactyl with granular scales.
		+
		+	Many species have been trapped and used as cage-birds world-wide. Some species are heavily endangered as the trapping of wild birds still goes on in many regions.
		+

	The plantation and to the north the hotel gardens at Naama Bay attract many passerine migrants including various pipits, [[Bluethroat]] and warblers. The Maritime Hotel at Naama Bay has a golf-course which also attracts passerines and has a few ponds.

	==Overview==		==Overview==
	The Chaco area is a vast lowland district in the north-central to north-west part of [[Argentina]]. It is largely flat, and consists of scrublands, savanna, swamps, rivers, and small lakes. Much of it is dry, and hot in the summer. The National Park has an area of 150 km² (15,000 hectares, or 37,500 acres). It was created in 1954 in order to protect a sample of the Eastern Chaco, composed mainly of warm lowlands, with an annual summer rainfall between 750 and 1,300 mm. The area includes several environments: scrubland, savanna, swamps, and small lakes. The scrubland is the habitat of the red quebracho, the white quebracho, the algarrobo, and the lapacho (all of these commercially valuable species). The fauna also includes the carayá monkey.

	Chaco National Park was created in 1954 to protect a sample of the Eastern Chaco, composed mainly of warm lowlands, with an annual summer rainfall between 750 and 1,300 mm. This park represents a small, last contiguous quebarcho forest, which once covered the north of Santa Fe Province, the western half of Chaco Province, and the northeaster corner of Corrientes Province. This forest was cleared over the 20th-century for wood and tannin, leaving what is now primarily cattle-grazing pastures.

	There are several good hiking trails, and a road loop leading to some seasonal marshes/lakes. These have small shaded, elevated observation towers. After a dry spell, the lakes and marshes may decline to grassland. Then the species that depend on open water will have moved on, but there will still be excellent birding.

	Best access is via highway 16, a major east-west road in the north-central part of the country. Approximately 60km west of the city of Resistencia, turn north at La Escondidaon a more minor, but good paved road. Continue to the small village of Capitán Solari, where there are signs leading to the park. The last 5km are not paved, and may be impassable in a standard 2-wheel drive passenger car in wet conditions.
