I photographed the Brünnich’s Guillemot (American name - thick-billed murre) in a bird colony on a rocky cliff together with the common guillemot and the razorbill. There are just a few features distinguishing it from the common guillemot, namely a little more massive beak with a distinct white stripe on it and a bit darker plumage on its head and spine (practically black). In terms of their size the common guillemot and the brünnich’s guillemot are similar, as their weight is about one kilogram with a wingspan of about 70 cm.

In Patagonia there were no problems with shooting the thorn-tailed rayadito. The house wren could also be observed often around there. Thorn-tailed rayaditos liked to stay in bushes where they felt safe. They were quite agile so quick reflexes while shooting was absolutely necessary. It is a small, nice to shoot passerine bird in the Furnariidae family. Its weight is about 12 grams, with a wingspan of a little more than 10 centimeters.
