Aramus guarauna (Linnaeus, 1766) (Aves, Aramidae),is a heron that lives in Neotropical America and mainly inhabits swamps and freshwater wetlands from the southeasternUnited States to central Argentina. However, there havealso been a small number of records of the bird in the southernpart of Argentina. Here, we report the first documented record of A. guarauna in Chile, on the edge of the Ramsar site, LasSalinas de Huentelauquén (Canela, Región de Coquimbo). Thepresence of Aramus in this zone could be due to its great abilityto colonize new environments. |
