Chalk-browed Mockingbird
Chalk-browed Mockingbird is a mimic like other Mockingbirds, indicative of its intelligence. The individual in this image had to deploy every bit of that resourcefulness, since (as can be seen in a close look) it has lost its left foot. Its adaptability is illustrated by the setting of this photograph, which was a rocky beach on the shores of Guanabara Bay near the international airport in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This species is found only in South America, but is widespread in the eastern part of the continent from Brazil south of the Amazon Basin down to central Argentina.
