The Paint-billed Crake Breeding in Costa Rica

Paint-billed Crake (Neocrex erythrops) Science Article 1

abstract

We report a recent observation from southern Costa Rica of the Paint-billed Crake (Neocrex erythrops), a little known species from eastern and northern South America. An adult and recently hatched chick were observed at close range in wet grassy second-growth. This observation constitutes the first record of the young of this species and represents the only breeding record for Central America.
