We're delighted to have a strong population of strange-tailed tyrants at the reserve. So much so that we've adopted these beautiful and endangered birds as the symbol of the Trust
This beautiful Hummingbird can be found all over central and northern Argentina and is the most common member of the Trochilidae family.
In Argentina it is found in the North of the country east of the Andes and as far south as Buenos Aires province.
