Saracura-three-pots

It is also known as saracura-do-brejo, sericoia, sericora and three-pots. The three-pot saracura (aramides cajanea) is a species of bird in the Rallidae family. In general, it is heard more than seen. It lives on the ground of flooded areas with dense vegetation, mangroves, riverbanks and ponds. Its song gives rise to its three most frequent common names. Heard in the light of day and in the dark, it can, however, be heard in the middle of the day or at night. The singing, very low and loud, is a duet between the members of a pair and sometimes in chorus with neighbors. Depending on the region of the country, the local accent produces each of the common names. Saracuras in general were called “beccaccia” (read “becatcha”) by the Italian settlers, due to their clumsy way of taking off, similar to the European woodcock (

Scolopax rusticola).

Available in:. (With cuts and adaptations).
