Look how I keep my balance!

Ricardo says it was only half the flock

The fishermen normally throw fish to the coast. There a neotropic cormorant and a rufescent tiger-heron were waiting. The cormorant got an Ossancora eigenmanni. Other cormorants approached. It was about to eat the fish, but a juvenile kept it and flew away with the prey

The tiger-heron seems to have a Iheringichthys labrosus.

Ricardo says that the cormorant tried to eat this chameleon cichlid Australoheros facetus. It took the fish and turned it to put it in the right position but unsuccessfully. Another cormorant had a try too but failed. These cichlids may be 30 cm. The cormorant stayed above water a bit then it dived and the story was left unfinished

The screaming cowbird parasitizes almost exclusively the Greyish Baywing. A characteristic of this parasitism is the similarity of the plumage in the chicks of these two species till the time the screaming cowbird begins to change into adult plumage. Black spots begin to cover the screaming cowbird's body till it becomes black. In these photos we can see practically the beginning of this process. .
