Several species of chachalacas -- slim chickenlike birds -- occur occur in Central and South America, one, the plain chachalaca, makes it as far north as southeastern Texas. Chachalacas are remarkably noisy and social; flocks often make an impressive racket at dawn, or when calling to each other. This one was photographed at Pantiacolla Lodge in southeastern Peru. |
