Imagine ascending from the Amazon jungle of the Andes towards the rapid streams of the semi-humid montane forest. Rare in general, but inevitable on our trips when you know where to look for it. Not only is it a target bird but it is the excuse to enter places with a very high diversity of birds.

Why, among more than 1000 species in this region, would we focus on this one without distinctive colors or shapes? We can give numerous reasons such as that it is one of the 20 endemic species of Argentina, or perhaps better, one of the 400 Patagonian species... but we have chosen it because we love the silent and vast Patagonian steppes where we see it.
