Driving South of the Border: Birding Trip Report, 3/27-4/28/09

In and around North America

For years I have looked at maps and envisioned driving from North America to the tip of South America.  Since becoming a birder, the hope of seeing many exotic and never-before-seen species has added to the lure.  I knew this trip wouldn't take me as far as my ultimate goal, but it would be a first step--driving into a foreign country alone.
