The Red-legged Seriema is found in
open woodland, grassland and other
open areas from central and eastern
Brazil through eastern Bolivia,
Paraguay and Uruguay into central
Argentina. The bird has a raised crest,
pink legs, a red bill, a greyish-white
maxilla and stunning blue eyes. The
bird will feed on grain, but it prefers
to be a diurnal hunter in semi-open
drier landscapes south of the Amazon
basin. It hopes to feed on beetles,
grasshoppers, lizards, snakes and
rodents. Its fast paced run allows it to
escape its predators. It flies much
less frequently, and it is rather clumsy
in flight.
This bird is highly vocal. His loud
yelping cries sound like they are
coming from a young dog. The
photograph was taken just before
sunset, and this Red-legged Seriema
was just resting after letting out
several loud yelps.
