Soy una excelente nadadora y vivo a las orillas de rios y lagunas. Usualmente me alimento de la vegetación acuática. Soy presa de aves rapaces y otros mamíferos predatorios que acechan especialmente en la temporada de reproducción.

As you have observed, my simple but elegant song is composed of clear, pure whistles. Most of my songs end with two or three triplets—whistles with three obvious pulses.  ¿Puedes identificarme cuando me veas?

Watch me sing my typcal simple but yet elegant melodies. I bet you must have heard it before

I am a robust bird and measure between 35 to 48 cm in body length and my weight ranges between 135 and 250 g. I visit Zasqua because I like fresh and salt water bodies. I can be found in the dense vegetation along rivers, lakes and mangroves. I love eating crabs and other crustaceans, molluscs and small fish. In America I am found from United States and Canada to the north of Chile and Argentina through Central America and the Caribbean islands. I am also found throughout most of the African continent, Pacific islands, and Australia. 

Watch and listen as I stalk my prey in a swamp.
