Abstract
We present the first documented record of the Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) for Argentina. On 17 October 2013, we photographed an individual of Curlew Sandpiper feeding in the south coast of Mar Chiquita inland sea, one of the biggest saline lakes of South America. Our finding of the Curlew Sandpiper confirms the presence of this species previously considered as hypothetical for Argentina.
