ANTARCTICA FEB 2014
Wandering Albatross in the Drake Passage
We started off in Buenos Aires between flights from Paris and onward flight to Ushuaia. An hour or so to walk along the prom and some Monk Parakeets were noted. Not a lot else though.
Monk Parakeet
The first few photos of this blog were taken in Ushuaia where we spent two nights waiting to board our ship for our voyage to the Antarctic. We stayed in a great hotel on the Beagle channel where we were able to get great views of some nice birds. we also spent a whole day in the Tierra del Fuego National Park where some of these photos were taken.
