That's the non-passerines out of the way. I'll do the passerines later. Suffice to say, Chile is a superb country for birding - but don't try and cram it all in at once, unless someone else is doing the driving.

That is Awesome Chris!

Thanks Larry. I must admit it was an awesome trip but I think that may have been my last self planned uber-trip. I think I'll let someone else work out the logistics from now on. ;) BTW this was the first time I've got back and it has taken more than a day or two to get over it. Decrepitude is slowly creeping up on me :-C.

" ... Decrepitude is slowly creeping up on me :-C."

Tell me about it! I know the feeling! I'm getting a little older, a little slower, my memory is (well you know), I like a nap after lunch, etc., etc.
