    E Couve and C Vidal
    Birds of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Antarctic Peninsula
    ISBN: 9-568-0070-40
    2003


    Comprehensive field guide to all the resident, migrant and vagrant birds of Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Antarctic Peninsula, including the Falklands and South Georgia Islands. This is a unique region on the planet including the frozen austral fjords of Chile and the steep Argentina Atlantic coast that is virtually teemed with wildlife. Between are the Valdivian temperate forests that are the realm of the Chucao Tapaculo and the windy arid Patagonian Steppes where Rheas and Tinamous travel in groups. The guide describes over 400 species with over 2000 colour photographs. Descriptive accounts are provided for each species covering identification, status, range and habits. Distribution maps are also included. It is hoped that this book will inspire the reader to observe, learn and therefore protect the rich but also fragile birdlife of this remote outer corner of the world.

    Stay warm

    Try to travel light especially if you plan to fly on a small plane.

    Even the penguins wear a warm jacket here. Just kidding but you may need one especially if you are out on the water. Be prepared for rain because you will probably see plenty. It seems to always be breezy here also so bring a scarf and hat. Casual dress is good here

    Bring plastic bags for your camera equipment. Plenty of memory or film would be good also.

    A woman can never have too
    many shoes...
    by WYLENEoftheWORLD
    There are so many great deals on leather shoes, coats and bags, wallets and belts that you will want to bring an extra bag to bring them home in!

    If you are a contact wearer (and even if your not!) bring eye drops and tissues! The pollution really takes it's toll!

    Bug spray for Iguazu Falls and the Pampas!

    Postcards of your hometown- people here really enjoy seeing where you are from, and many ask to keep the cards!

    Windproof jackets, warm pullovers, scarfs, gloves, sleeping bags, which stands temperatures below zero °C (even in the southern summer). Be sure to have enough proviant, when you travel Ruta 40, as the settlements in Patagonia are very scattered. Be prepared of quick weather changes, especially in the Andes mountains.
