Dove
Eared Dove, so named for a dark patch of feather os the side of the bird's upper cheek that looks like an ear. These doves are the size of the popular Mourning Dove in North America, and in the hand, it is difficult to tell the two species apart. In the Cordoba region, farming practices and vast roost areas allow these birds to thrive at epic population levels. Various recent estimates put the Eared dove populations in excess of fifty million birds.
Perdiz
Known as Partridge or Perdiz, the Spotted Tinamou is related to the pheasant and also the ostrich or rhea. They are sporting gamebirds that hold well for dogs, and are usually found as single birds or in pairs. In addition, offering great upland sport in the field, they are wonderful on the table.
Pigeon
Two types of wild pigeons can be found in Argentina and Uruguay, the Spot-Winged and the Pica Zuro. These are not the domestic pigeons found in rural barns and on city statues, but fly and decoy more akin to a wild duck. Wild pigeons are tough, and their large wing surface areas make them fast and agile fliers. |
