Wild, Windy Wordless Wednesday

South America Trip - Part 8: Mirador los Cuernos

Sunday, March 23:

After a quick breakfast at our hotel we loaded up the car and headed to Salto Grande, just a quarter mile past where we’d parked the previous day for our boat ride across Lago Pehoe. The winds were blowing fiercely, but the air was warm’ish as we made our way the few hundred yards to the viewpoint overlooking Salto Grande.

I woke early’ish and went for a short walk along the Rio Serrano to see if there were any morning birds a’wing. It was clear and mild, with fantastic views of Torre Grande.

We woke early-ish, packed, and ate a light breakfast. While the others got ready, I walked down to the waterfront to do some morning birding, and was glad I did, as the light was favorable and plenty of birds were out.
