According to the distribution map , their migration takes them as far south as Argentina, but decidedly less common in central and eastern South America. This time, I was able to spend about ten minutes with this bird, closely observing it as it hunted from branch to branch, from tree to tree. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I’m in love.

Invercargill The bottom of New Zealand and you’d be forgiven for thinking the end of the world is where you’ll be heading if you’re following Argentina, Scotland, Romania or Georgia. A good place to see the enigmatic Kokako.

Weidensaul worked on the first research project in Argentina 24 years ago, and his memories of that time in the pampas are both a baseline for what has happened since, a mini-story in itself, and a tribute to Pete Bloom and Brian Woodbridge, the wildlife biologists who originated the study of Swainson’s Hawks in Butte Valley.
