Birders who have been to see the Northern Pintail may be interested in
another southern hemisphere record of this species. In August 1993, my wife
and I saw a male Northern Pintail in fresh plumage near Valparaiso in Chile.
This bird was associating with Yellow-billed Pintail. I assumed at the
time that it was probably a 1st for Chile although I did not follow it up,
given my very limited Spanish! As I am currently on holiday in Australia, I
do not have full details of this record to hand but I will be able to supply
them on my return to the UK in early September.
Regards,
Paul James
