Registros documentados del Corocoro Escarlata (Eudocimus ruber Linnaeus, 1758; Aves: Threskiornithidae) en Loreto, Perú

Abstract

In Peru, the Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) is considered a vagrant or errant species. Only recently has it been documented for Peru and its occurrence is occasional; not that of the habitual local avian community. In this note we present the registered accounts of this species in Loreto as well as outline its current status in Peru. Additionally, we confirm that some species of birds appear in the area surrounding the city of Iquitos or other areas of Loreto as a consequence of the new open spaces that are generated by anthropogenic activity.
