Odd Bird

This close-up of this Southern Screamer captures the unique characteristics of this unusual bird. It is found in southeastern Peru, northern Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina.

 

Screamers are the “guard birds” of their habitats; their trumpet-like calls can carry for several miles, warning other birds.

 

The Southern Screamer establishes monogamous relationships that last its lifetime, around 15 years.
