Mejía Wetlands
Close to the little village Mejía you can find a famous Wetland area. This is the only wetland area in more than 2000 km and a lot of birds are visiting this area on their way up and down the Pacific coast of Latin America. A guide told us that the experts normally are visiting the place in the wintertime (june-august) since this is the best time to see rare types of birds. According to Wikipedia you can find 141 types of birds in the Wetland, 57 of this are visitors.

Burrowing Owl
I visited an area close to the beach of Mejia in the south of Peru with my girls and father in law today, and I had the opportunity to take some nice pictures of this Burrowing Owl.
