Below is the full list of species I recorded on our trip. Highlighted names are linked to pages where photos of the species that we photographed in Argentina are displayed. Where more than one subspecies of a particular species was photographed on the trip, links to pages with photos of all the subspecies are included. Although this was not specifically a photographic trip, I still managed to get photos of a number of the species so it will at least give some indication of what we saw. This list represents only the species I recorded and there were several other species seen by others which I did not get to see on the trip. |
