Native to the United States and Canada this raptor migrates to Argentina during the austral summer. It is opportunistic and feeds on a wide variety of animals. Nevertheless when it is in Argentina its diet reduces mainly to insects such as locusts, crickets, grasshoppers, etc. caught and eaten on the wing.

Always in flight and sometimes very high in the sky they circle or fly past the reserve generally in big groups.

Me, eating mulberries?

I was on the Lizard Path on my way to Viamonte when this Rufous-bellied Thrush unexpectedly emerged from the vegetation. Strangely enough it had more or less the size of an Eared Dove... The bird perched for some seconds on a branch right in front of me and moved very restlessly with an open bill but emitting no sounds at all. It is difficult to explain its behaviour but if one "anthropomorfizes" it, I would say it wanted to puke and did not manage for some reason. The bird dived into the bottom of the vegetation. I waited and searched but it never appeared. I believe that the explanation might lie in some sort of intoxication (we will never know it) and as I can see it the general aspect of this bird does seem very promising....

Mating

The House Wren makes do with any cavity either natural or artificial to build a nest. It only arranges some vegetal material to support the eggs and that's it. We discovered this wren carrying material into this hole.

This elaenia is carrying a web in its bill. Spider webs are used to stick the materials nests are built with. The nest is a tidy and elaborate cup which sits on branches. The inside of the nest is lined with feathers to cushion it. The feather the bird has on the tail might have got attached while working in the nest.
