Field Notes

Description:

I saw this two Drakes in rocks on the river that cross my city. They were standing in the sun, watching attentive around.

Habitat:

I found this couple on the banks of the river that flows through my town, a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.

Yeah "Marta RubioTexeira", you're right! ;) And, thanks for help with ID "FaredinAliyevski". I was saw this specie, but I don't have sure 'cause the wings, but, now I have sure. ;)

Could it be that the right one is a female (hen) and the left one a male (drake)?
