    ....Birdwatching in Uruguay with Bueme's Travel Service
      You could call it :¨Nature adventure off the beaten track¨ or ¨something far from the usual tourism¨, taking back country and dirty roads in a land rover, in small groups guided by a naturalist, to experience the spell of an uncontaminated enviroment.

Endemics and Specialities

in Uruguay

Information on endemics and specialities is derived from Sibley & Monroe checklists and bird distribution lists in Thayer's Birder's Diary - Version 2.5, supplemented by material found in Where to Watch Birds in South America - by Nigel Wheatley. South American speciality birds, while not endemic, are those that can only be found in three or less countries of South America. Information on endangered birds is derived from the IUCN Red List, Birdlife International.  The endemic, endangered and speciality birds may be uncommon, extremely rare vagrants, may be extirpated in the country now or may only be present in migration. However, documented sightings of each species noted below have been made in Uruguay.
