Abstract

We present new observations of Andean Coot Fulica ardesiaca (Gruiformes: Rallidae) in the Carrizal Bajo wetlands, extending its known distribution and confirming the breeding of the species through direct observation of chicks and the vocalization of alert calls in the face of the human presence near them. We propose a probable case of natural hybridization with the other Coots species inhabiting in the area.
