wagon

In the print, this bird resembles a tanager with a thick and short beak, with a small tail.

The bases of the dorsal and flank feathers are white, but only visible when the cart is groomed. In the female version, this bird is completely black.

In the corner, the carretão is very reminiscent of the screams made by another species, the guaxe. The difference is that it is harder, stronger and huskier. The voice, however, is emitted in an economical way at the first flashes of the morning. In general, the sound is heard at dawn (hence one of its popular names).

“Land of the People”.
