Birds from Peninsula Valdes

Birds of Peninsula Valdes

More than 180 species of birds exist in the Valdes Peninsula either passing through on their chosen migratory route in flocks or alone or occupying a niche as a permanent resident. Many can be seen from Puerto Madryn or Puerto Piramides, while the observation of other species requires a more dedicated search in specific areas where they enjoy the solitude of this incredible geography, like “Birds Island” on the shores of Golfo San Jose. Here I have illustrated just 25 of these species.
