With Mexican silverspot

We cannot see what the coypu is eating, but it is obviously a plant since they are herbivores. They cut the vegetal material with their incisors or pull it with their hands which are also used to eat. The orange spot which is briefly seen before diving are the incisors.

Another winter visitor besides the dark-faced ground-tyrant and buff-winged cinclodes

We had been checking the shore for the presence of the dark-faced ground-tyrant or the bar-winged cinclodes, two winter birds associated to this environment. As we got to the Meeting Point Adrián saw something moving far on the shore. It was no more and no less the dark-faced ground-tyrant.

Feeding at the Coypu Pond. Carlos Agulian told us he had seen five roseate spoonbills from the outer sidewalk. We could see only this one. The rest were behind the island. Some time later we saw the five individuals flying.

Eating flower of Tessaria integrifolia

n field guides this species is treated like a monomorphic one since there are no noticeable characters which distinguish male from female. Anyway, female flanks are scale-like whereas the male's have an irregular barring. The rear third is finely barred in the male and wider in the female.

Carlos tells us that "This heron harpooned almost 15 times with no luck, at best a motionless stick was caught and it was returned to water. I could not watch it feed during this time. Frustrating hunt."

This grebe caught this plastic sachet (it seems a mayonnaise sachet). Luckily it did not eat it

Presumably the same female Javier saw a couple of days ago was eating insects in the water tank. One seems a cicada

It is remarkable how the number of individuals fluctuate in the Coypu Pond. One week lots of rosy-billed pochards, another yellow-billed teals and now Brazilian teals

The roseate spoonbills of the morning flew in formation

Again a roseate spoonbill in the Coypu Pond. In the afternoon the juvenile, with a snowy egret

25 individuals were counted in the Gull Pond

Too many caracaras flying over the coast at the Viamonte end, cicling in the sky, chasing, fighting. There were juveniles and adults. We approached the coast to see what was happening but we found nothing. Here eight individuals were above our heads
