[Tweeters] Peru trip blog - Lima coast and mountains

[Scott Ramos via Tweeters]

Finally, the Peru report is complete. The last installment covers three day
trips we made starting from Lima or nearby. The first entailed a long day,
driving from sea level to 16,000 feet! We spent the most time in the Santa
Eulalia valley where we were changing habitats, and birds, every hour or
two, though mostly in arid environments.

The second day, we went to two coastal environments, the Villa Marshes and
Pucusana. A short pelagic out of the Pucusana port was a trip
highlight, observing tropical Boobies, Pelicans and Cormorants. The last
day was spent along the coastal dunes and marshes to the north where we
were introduced to seedsnipes, thick-knees and dotterels, as well as
Chilean Flamingos.

Peru is a fascinating country with an astounding breadth of habitats. About
the size of Alaska, this large country is well worth a lengthy visit
or maybe multiple visits!
