Birds ID's getting Harder
Your brown bird in the awesome mud nest looks like a Rufous Hornero also called a Red Ovenbird (National Bird of Argentina). The Robin- like bird appears to be a Rufous Bellied Thrush. The last bird is some type of Columbiformes (dove, pigeon) but can't tell what. The winery tours and tastings look like so much fun, esp by bike, if you can keep them in the upright position. When you get back you can tour the local wineries on your new Motorcycle. Did you see that Pete is in the drawing for the Webster's Sweepstakes?

Birds
We will try to get more pictures of birds. We will be heading into the Andes to do some hiking and rafting. Should be fun! Pete is excited his name is on the list for the Harley. He says he only put his name in once, but I have been having the kids put his name in rather than mine, so I think his name was in there quite a few times!

Where is my Bird d'jour? The Toucan from the other day is a Toco Toucan, of the many species of Toucans and Toucanettes. I think this is the common one that is seen in zoos. Your butterflies are also amazing. We loved those coatis too, but I bet they can be a nuisance if people feed them. Those look like some big bottles of wine!

Bird
The bird of the day is still trapped in my fancy camera and has not been transferred to go to the blog. We bought one of the small bottles of wine and not the big gallon jug. We are heading out touring the wineris via bicycle today.

Warm and sunny
The weather has mostly been warm and sunny. In Iguazu it was very humid. Now we are in Mendoza, and the humidity is lower and it is very comfortable.

Beautiful
Very cool bird! I looked it up and it is a crested jay. The falls look amazing. I bet it is noisy.

Thank you for the bird ID Mary.
The falls are quite loud. Cannot hear the birds if close to the falls. There are a few birds that we will have to look up.

Going home
We fly back to WI tomorrow from Phoenix. Had 20 great days with temps mostly in mid to upper 60's and low 70's, supposed to be in 80's next week (sure). Back to reality -- they had 4" - 6" of snow today, but 60's by Sunday and Monday. Have a great trip, stay safe.
