The town also offers tennis courts, hunting and water sports. Located in rolling, partly wooded cattle-raising country, Santa Elena is home to 201 species of birds. A former manager of the factory, Currell H. Smyth, an enthusiastic ornithologist, made a collection of wild birds' eggs of all these species and donated it to the Buenos Aires Natural History Museum. Among the local species are the swallows that migrate every year to San Juan Capistrano, California, heralding the arrival of spring and the end of the Northern Hemisphere winter. Santa Elena residents would be glad to consider a sister cities relationship with any California city to which they are linked by the yearly migration of the swallows.
Winter there is summer here, and autumn here is springtime there.
