The spinetail, a fascinating creature with various species found in different parts of Argentina and Mexico. One such species is the Red-faced Spinetail (Cranioleuca erythrops), captured in Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, Corrientes, Argentina during November. This adult bird perches gracefully on a branch, showcasing its vibrant red face. In Santa Victoria, Jujuy, Argentina during July, the Tawny Tit-spinetail (Leptasthenura yanacensis) can be seen perched delicately on a twig in a polylepis woodlot. Its presence adds beauty to this natural habitat. Moving to Ceibas, Entre Rios, Argentina in June brings us the Yellow-chinned Spinetail (Certhiaxis cinnamomeus). This adult bird finds solace perching on water plants while displaying its stunning yellow chin. April takes us to an unknown location within Argentina where we encounter the Sulphur-bearded Spinetail (Cranioleuca sulphurifera). It confidently sits atop a seedhead with elegance and grace. Venturing into Mexican waters now reveals an entirely different kind - the Adult Spinetail Mobula (Mobula japanica). These magnificent creatures are known for their incredible leaping abilities out of the water. Their long whip-like tails captivate observers as they soar through the upper Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). Not only do these mobulas possess impressive agility but also exhibit intriguing mating behavior. Massive schools gather together in what appears to be possible mating rituals within the upper Gulf of California. The long whip-like tail becomes even more significant as it features a sting at its base. Witnessing an adult spinetail mobula cruising along Isla del Carmen's calm waters off Baja California is truly awe-inspiring. These majestic creatures dominate their surroundings with their unique physique and mesmerizing movements.
