Hi Mary. The Rufous-bellied Thrush was very much American Robin-like in its habits and habitat. The kiskadee is more kingbird-like than chickadee like, although I see the resemblance. Glad you enjoyed the photos!

The rufous bellied thrush could pass for the American robin around here. And that great kiskadee has similar coloring on its head to our chickadees. And at first I was sure I was looking at a band-tailed pigeon. Now that bird, for sure, could be a band-tailed pigeon’s double. All of your photos, Adam, are great (as usual). And you sure have given all of us a great taste of the city of Buenos Aires from your description and photos. I’m so glad you got a picture of that peregrine falcon — now that is definitely an international bird! At least it seems to be in the Americas. And, of course, a lovely “finale” with your sunset photo. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful tour, Adam! You’ve managed to capture the essence and flavor of the city and combine it with the interesting nature there. Your pictures are wonderful. I like the sunset. A great post!
