today's bird is this very brave and curious chachalaca
October 2, 2025 - Rufous-headed Chachalaca (Ortalis erythroptera) Found in parts of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, these chachalacas live in forests, scrub, and cultivated areas. They feed on fruit and possibly leaves, foraging mostly in small groups of two to seven birds. While little is known about their nesting behavior, they probably breed from January to May and lay clutches of three eggs. They are classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to ongoing population decline from habitat destruction and hunting.

"Our only representative of a distinctive tropical family. Plain Chachalacas are common in a limited area of southern Texas, where their flocks live in thickets or riverside woods. Frequently, especially at dawn and dusk, a flock will perch in a tall tree and give voice to a disorganized clattering chorus of cha-cha-lac calls."
