Dark-bellied Cinclodes

Paul Demkovich

Along the Ushuaia waterfront there is a derelict ship laying at an angle and clearly not operable. We stood about 50 yards away and saw this Dark-bellied Cinclodes displaying on the boat’s rail. Our guide played a call and the bird flew right up to us and perched on the rocks 10 feet away to see who was calling. It stuck with us for several minutes calling and displaying before it flew back to the ship – such fun!
