We were heading up to the 'Weenhayek village Timboy on the slopes of the Andes, north of the Gran Chaco area in ​​southern Bolivia. As usual I was screening the countryside for birds through the car window and suddenly called 'Stop'! Something had moved in the grass on the other side of the fence. It turned out to be just the species I was looking for, the Red-legged seriema. The Black-legged seriema (Chunga Burmeisteri) is relatively common in northern Gran Chaco, but I had never seen the Red-legged seriema before. It is found more at the outskirts of the Gran Chaco or on the mountain slopes of the Andes. I had a few seconds when the bird looked up and watched us curiously. Then it bowed down again and disappeared in the high grass together with his partner, that I just got a glimpse of. The long legs were sadly covered by the grass, but in the picture you can see the characteristic "crest" of upright feathers, the bare blue skin around the eye and the blazing red bill. Seriemas are big birds, the red-legged species reaches 90 cm, and is notably aggressive. At the nest they can even attack people. They subsist on a variety of small animals, larvae, insects, lizards, snakes, and other birds.
