OUTPUT REPORT COA FROM 17 JULY 2010
Coordinated by Silvana Alzogaray
The frost and the bitter cold did not stop nine observers we meet at 9:30 Hs in order to hike and go in search of birds that decided to stay for the winter season.
As expected, before arriving at the site chosen, we accompanied the inevitable Chimango, kelp gulls and some Bandurrias. We did not know if the latter were part of the pob 
relations who migrated or others who came from southern areas. Then we came to the area of \u200b\u200bthe birth of the Limay River, take a right and traveled along a steppe environment lined with plants such as broom sedge, baby, paramela, black hawthorn, chacay stick piche, among others. As we walked sighted among the branches of some of these shrubs, the Diucón, flocks of Austral Cabecitanegra and Meadowlark Common, which drew attention with his shrill voice. At Patagonia we find Burguete Thrush in a rose hip, which pecked fruits to supplement their diet. In 
around, a worried look left Patagonian Comesebos beautiful colors to accompany us along the path.

All binoculars were intent on capturing the Calandria Mora, as a part of the group had spotted the previous day in the place, but did not appear. Probably not knowing that it will have crossed a big surprise waiting for us above, just on a hill of volcanic rocks. There we were the acrobats rayaditos and tit-tyrant, pecking at the branches of a cypress ridge. 
roosting Using a dry branch of another individual of the same tree species, we could see a Kestrel, showing typical black mustaches and sideburns. Later, flying from tree to tree, we observe a Pitío Carpenter. At the same time, we hear the voices and the flutter of a flock of California quail taking off from the base of rock formation. The two photographers in the group (Mateo and Facundo) had the ability to capture with their cameras. Suddenly, we were surprised by a repeated chorus sounds ruerr ruerr ... ... ... ruerr from a large flock of small birds, which had just landed on the floor. Semi-dark colors of the pieces of weathered rock would not let us make out clearly, for mimicry that was generated, the hungry birds looking for something to eat hastily. Again, the skill of the photographers, hidden and lurking, had his cameras were photographed. With guidebook in hand, we could identify the newcomers: the Highway colorful, probably fleeing the snow and cold prevailed in the high Andean steppes. The surprise was even greater when we look in detail photos of Facu as among the flock were also down from their summer habitat of the altamontaña, the Yales Plumbate with their partners.

Behind us, a couple of chinchillones leaping from rock to rock and hide in the cracks. Check back!
As we did Caranchos flight, Black-Headed Jotes and a Common Marsh joined us. Satisfaction, pleasure, joy ... All that we collected and feelings that made us forget the winter cold. Birdwatching
makes people happy!
