Many-coloured Chaco-finch, Bolivia 11 August 2006.

We left Camiri early this morning and headed to Boyuibe and east into the Chaco where we saw a variety of birds typical of the thorny woodlands there. One of the first to appear was this handsome Many-coloured Chaco-finch - shame the Black-legged Seriemas heard calling on and off all day didn't decide to venture out on the roads though. Chaco Earthcreeper, Lark-like Brushrunner, Little Thornbird, Crested Gallito, Short-billed Canastero and Brushland Tinamou were welcome too in a hot and dusty day in the Chaco.
