If you are a bird lover and plan to engage in birdwatching activities during your visit to Iguazu Falls, you will surely want to know which bird species can be seen in the region. It is an extensive area with excellent biodiversity and an incredible variety of birds. In this case, we present a survey conducted by Jorge Escobar and Sergio Moya for Yacutinga Lodge, the establishment that offers the bird program suggested below. This study follows the following parameters, as shared by the people at Yacutinga Lodge, which we want to share with you:
This list follows the new systematics of the latest ornithological review in effect since 2019, which considers genetic sequence as valid.
Having enjoyed the direct and unquestionable observation of some species of maximum ornithological importance, either because of their conservation status, vulnerability, or even because they are new records for Argentina; as well as having detected the presence of some species of surprising appearance either due to habitat alteration or almost inexplicable situations such as the possibility of individuals released from captivity, we decided to include in this list, a section called EXTRAORDINARY and CURIOUS SPECIES. This section indicates the name of the species observed in our Environmental Reserve, date of registration, and place of occurrence.
Before moving on to the list of birds, we want to thank Yacutinga Lodge and Jorge Escobar and Sergio Moya again for the excellent work done.
