As the sun rose higher the nice weather invited many locals to venture to the lakes to enjoy the day. Unfortunately that meant the ducks went into hiding… except for the giant, child-powered fowl pictured above!
A break for lunch, keeping binoculars close at hand, offered a welcome moment of relaxation. The time also offered some additional good birds like Bearded Mountaineer, Black-chested Buzzard Eagle, Rufous-naped Ground Tyrant and Hooded Siskins.
Brown-bellied Swallows flew overhead as we walked into a small canyon that offered views of Bare-face Ground Doves, Rusty-fronted Canastero, White-browed Chat-tyrant, Band-tailed Seedeaters, Chiguango Thrushes and hundreds of Rufous-collared Sparrows!
