E Sosa Mendoza Weekend Spanish/English G Cox San Pedro, Misiones Anytime English/Spanish I am an English ornithologist who went off to watch birds in Bolivia 23 years ago. I Have been working in tourism, conservation (Amboró National Park) and leading birding groups for over 10 years. I moved to the amazingly bird-rich area of the Araucaria Atlantic Forest of San Pedro very recently with my family. I am looking forward to learning the birds as well as hoping to continue leading groups here - to the many protected areas close by - and am also currently working as an ornithologist with a UN project to establish a new protected area in the dry Chaco of the north of Argentina. I will be very happy to answer anyone's questions regarding birds and where to watch them in Argentina or Bolivia, but please note, internet connections in San Pedro are VERY SLOW. I also travel a lot for my work at the moment so there may be up to a week's delay in response.
