This month I've thought about potential effects on nearby nature due to Calgary's water emergency. Also, it's been an okay month for birding, a good month for bear sightings and the start of wildflower season!

Birding in Tierra del Fuego National Park, Argentina

On March 21, 2024March 27, 2024 By GeoKsIn Argentina4 Comments

Booking a guided birding tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in Ushuaia, Argentina. Not only did we encounter almost every headline bird species in the area, we learned a lot about the region's plants and other wildlife. Plus we didn't have to worry about finding the right local bus service to get back to our hotel!
