Iris wood-brown. 
Not far from the junction of the Saima with the Parana, these 
birds were shot, in a large swamp. 
They fly in pairs near the ground with a pitching motion, settling 
on a long reed. Only one note was heard, uttered on the wing or 
as they were about to fly. 
One or two specimens were observed near San Javier on the Uru- 
guay. Their food I found to consist entirely of ants.
