The Bolivia group met up in Santa Cruz on 9th and a couple of us saw a pair of Red-legged Seriemas before leaving the airport! The following day we headed south out of Santa Cruz towards the Chaco. We stopped en route at some savannah and light Chaco woodlands. One of the first birds to start the dawn chorus was this Spot-backed Puffbird but he took some finding in the end. Notable species between Santa Cruz and Camiri (where we stayed for two nights on the edge of the Chaco) included Stripe-backed Antbird, Greater Rhea, Bolivian Slaty-Antshrike, Rufous Casiornis, Ringed Teal and White Monjita.
