La Coronilla

Again, I apologize for the lack of photos since I am writing from an internet cafe but I tell you, Uruguay is beautiful! Imagine Kansas with the ocean coast....We were very succesfull capturing shorebirds on Laguna de Rocha and packed up once more and headed north, just 25km south of the Uruguay-Brazil border to a sleepy coastal town, not yet awakwened by the tourist season, La Coronilla. Across from the town there is an Estancia with rice agriculture where we have already been successful, capturing 6 Pectoral Sandpipers and 2 American Golden Plovers this morning!!! I hope the trend continues. The shorebirds love the newly flooded rice and swarm like ants. Just one more week in the field, I hope to make the most of it. I will try to post some photos once I reutrn to Beunos Aires next week. Chao!!
