which to bird the surrounding high puna and get up to La Quiaca.
We stayed at the Residencial Cesarito which was great fun and
cooked the best Milanesa in Argentina. Do not ignore the marsh
situated to the west of Abra Pampa. It was very dry when we were
here but there were plenty of birds tucked away on small pools....Phil

the Iguazu Falls. We first took a short boat ride to see the
Devil's Throat (the most powerful part of the falls). On the
way I picked up Olivaceous Cormorant and White-winged Swallow
as well as the large numbers of Black Vultures rising on the updrafts
created by the falls. From the look-out over the Devil's Throat
we could view Great Dusky Swift shooting in and out from behind
the falls...Saul Cowen reports.
