Birds - Chile

These feathered images comprise the summer months, zig-zagging the longest north to south country on Earth. My educational journey along the western slopes of the Andes and the nearby, Pacific Ocean shoreline - from the Big Island of the Land of Fire (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego), northward thru the Patagonia Ice Fields, Magellanic Subpolar Forest, Valdivian Temperate Forest, Matorral (scrubland), and to the Atacama Desert and high Central Andean plateaus.

Southern Caracara (Polyborus plancus) - this species grows to about 26 in. (65 cm) in length - a wingspan of 4.3 ft. (1.3 m) - and weight up to around 3.5 lb. (1.6 kg). This specimen along the volcanic rock shoreline of Lago Todos los Santos, at the eastern base of Volcan Osorno - Vicente Rosales National Park - Los Lagos (region).
