Guanacod, Lama guanicoe

Kummalisel kombel on guanacod valinud kehva toiduvalikuga elu kõrbes. Salinas Grandes soolajärve lähistel, Argentiina.
In some odd reason guanacos have chosen a life in the desert with the poor selection of food. Near Salinas Grandes, Argentina.

Soolaväljad

Silmipimestav vaatepilt. Keset kõrbe asuvast soolasest järvest on vesi ära auranud ning alles jäänud ainult sool. Kraabi ainult kokku (mida seal ka hoogsalt tehti). Salinas Grandes, Argentiina.
Fascinating sight. In the middle of the desert there is a lake wherefrom the water has evaporated so only the salt has remained. Just scrape it off the ground (which was also very actively done). Salinas Grandes, Argentina.

Guirakägu, Guira guira

Neid silmapaistvaid linde sai pikalt taga aetud. Kogunesid nad palmide okstele istuma ning vaikselt oodates tulid meile mürgised sipelgad kallale. Aga jäime ellu ja saime ka isaslinnust toredaid võtteid. Misionese provints, Argentiina.
We chased these spectacular birds for some time. They gathered to the branches of the palms and whilst waiting for them, we were attacked by poisonous ants. But we survived and got some nice pictures of the male Guira Cuckoo (aka White Ani). Misiones province, Argentina

Remarkable resemblance to bottlebrush. Unfortunately the original name is unknown, so we put our own name - bottlebrush tree. Iguazu, Argentina.
