Contribution to the knowledge of some rare birds’ distribution in the Northeast Buenos Aires province

Abstract

Within the framework of a bird monitoring program that reproduce in the northeast of Buenos Aires province, we present observations of rare birds in this habitat and provide information on the dates and type of habitat where the observations occurred. We focus on species whose distribution does not regularly include the northeastern of Buenos Aires province (Spot-winged Falconet Spiziapteryx circumcincta, Squirrel Cuckoo Piaya cayana, White Woodpecker Melanerpes candidus, Smooth-billed Ani Crotophaga ani, Scaly-headed Parrot Pionus maximiliani, Yellow-chevroned Parakeet Brotogeris chiriri, Scissor-tailed Nightjar Hydropsalis torquata and Black-backed Water- Tyrant Fluvicola albiventer) and in order to contribute field data to the distribution of these birds with few records in the area.
