Crap picture but the best I have, as it was taking from a wet pitching open boat on a winter ocean, trying to get close enough to the island to see the wildlife but not TOO close.
Taken at the Humboldt Penguin Reserve off of Caleta Chanaral, Chile. July, 2019. July 4, I think.
It was interesting to find out more about the World Anteater Day www.flickr.com/groups/2183105@N23/discuss/72157721921959251/
I didn't think I had a photo of one and I was right but I did come across a couple of pics from our brief but amazing trip on the Amazon instead.
These were high in the rainforest trees and the pic was taken from the small boat on the river.
"The South American Coati, Nasua nasua, is a member of the raccoon family (Procyonidae) and is usually easily recognised by its reddish-brown fur, long banded tail and dark elongated snout. It is also known as the ring-tailed coati, though the rings on the tail may be quite weak. The fur colouration may also vary: there are many subspecies.
The name âCoatiâ comes from native American Indian words cua, meaning âbeltâ and tim, meaning ânoseâ, referring to the way coatis tuck their nose into their belly while sleeping. Its scientific name, Nasua, comes from the Latin word for ânoseâ, referring to its long snout."
Barra do QuaraĂ, RS, Brazil.
Usually a bird of wetlands and grasslands, this one was just calmly perched on a fence post.
Fence posts seem to be the favorite perches of many birds in the southern grasslands of Brazil, a perfect lookout in these open landscapes.

Not sure what the significance of this celebration of the independence of Chile, Argentina and Mexico has in a Bangkok Park but it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the independence of those countries in 2010. Looks like it has seen better days too
Colony of breeding sea lions on a small island in the Beagle channel. Town of Ushuaia and Martial mountains in the background. It was not easy to shoot while on a catamaran especially using a long lens so I'm very happy with this shot.

A wild adult white ibis.
Wikipedia - The .American white ibis (Eudocimus albus) is a species of bird in the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is found from North Carolina via the Gulf Coast of the United States south through most of the coastal New World tropics. n flight. Males are larger and have longer bills than females.
The breeding range runs along the Gulf and Atlantic Coast, and the coasts of Mexico and Central America. Outside the breeding period, the range extends further inland in North America and also includes the Caribbean. It is also found along the northwestern South American coastline in Colombia and Venezuela. Populations in central Venezuela overlap and interbreed with the scarlet ibis. The two have been classified by some authorities as a single species.
Their diet consists primarily of small aquatic prey, such as insects and small fishes. Crayfish are its preferred food in most regions, but it can adjust its diet according to the habitat and prey abundance. Its main foraging behavior is probing with its beak at the bottom of shallow water to feel for and capture its prey. It does not see the prey.
During the breeding season, the American white ibis gathers in huge colonies near water. Pairs are predominantly monogamous and both parents care for the young, although males tend to engage in extra-pair copulation with other females to increase their reproductive success. Males have also been found to pirate food from unmated females and juveniles during the breeding season.
Praia do Cassino - Rio Grande, RS, Brazil.
That's a juvenile or subadult tern. You can tell by the more mottled wings and back, and the dark bill.
This species breeds along the coasts of southern South America - from southern Brazil to Argentina and Chile, including the Falkland Islands - and migrates northward outside the breeding season, reaching southeastern Brazil and even Peru.

(Continuation of story)
When we were near the tip of South America, I seemed more excited than many of the other passengers. I am certain that it was because I was carrying memories with me; thoughts of a special friend of mine.
I have mentioned him before on my posts. He is a man whose life has been dedicated to sailing and writing.
Webb Chiles sailed around Cape Horn when he was 33 years old in a 37 ft sailboat named Egregious. It was a difficult accomplishment, but he did it and went on to set many records.
He has amassed a huge following in the sailing world. Many folks, who know the technicalities of sailing, marvel at his achievements. His books are very popular, as are his articles in sailing magazines. He wrote STORM PASSAGE after making his first monumental voyage.
So I kept company with Webb on the deck of my boat that was huge in comparison to his little boat that he sailed alone. The day I was I there the sea remarkably calm except for our Captain racing against another cruise ship. We won of course.
But back to Webb. Few people can say of their lives the same thing Webb does. He dreamed of doing what seemed to be impossible and he made it happen. Now at the age of 75 he is back out on the high seas, completing his sixth circumnavigation. He is off the coast of South Africa as I am writing this.
One of my favorite quotes from his writing is,â a sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind.â I thought that as photographers you would enjoy this wisdom.
Before boarding the first morning ferry to Tierra del Fuego, we had time for a quick check of the shoreline around Punta Arenas. Dolphin Gull and Southern Giant Petrel were the highlights on the water. As we drove back to town we saw this beautiful fox trotting along in a field by the main highway. Pulling over carefully in the heavy traffic, I hopped out the vehicle, squeaked to attract the attention of the animal, and fired off several hand held shots. The light was bad, but the new "de-hazing" slider in LightRoom allowed me to salvage a pretty picture from the situation.
We did well with this fox on the trip, seven sightings in total, from Puerto Varas in the north to Tierra del Fuego in the south. In contrast, we had one sighting (thanks Jodie) of the bigger cousin - the Culpeo or Andean Fox. That was a bit unexpected, as judging from flickr and elsewhere, the Culpeo was rather camera-friendly, mooching handouts at several locations. Maybe a crackdown on feeding wildlife in Torres del Paine National Park has cut down on the photo ops. Probably all for the best.
