Phoenicopteridae

Phoenicoparrus andinus (VAG) : occurs in southern Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile, northwestern Argentina and occasionally in southern Brazil ( Grantsau, 2010). Ghizoni-Jr. & Piacentini (2010) suggest that it occurs in Brazil as a result of juvenile dispersal or of storms and that it is more common during winter. In the Canto dos Ganchos beach in Governador Celso Ramos/SC, a small population was detected and then monitored for 27 months (June 2008 to August 2010) and a specimen was collected in July 2009 (MZUSP 84351). There are also many photographs for SC (WikiAves, 2016), a specimen collected at PR ( Scherer-Neto et al., 2011) and records for Lagoa do Peixe National Park/ RS ( Belton, 1994; IBAMA, 1999; De Luca et al., 2006; WikiAves, 2016).This species was first record- ed for the Amazonian region in 2007, when an individual was killed by fishermen in the Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve and donated to the Mamirauá Institute ( Bernadon & Valsecchi, 2014). There do not seem to be breeding colonies in Brazil.

Phoenicoparrus jamesi (VAG) : occurs in southern Peru, northern Chile, western Bolivia and northwestern Argentina ( Grantsau, 2010). It is considered vagrant in Brazil, where there is only one published record for Acre (AC) ( Guilherme et al., 2005; MPEG 58950), one photographic record for RS ( Dias & Cardozo, 2014) and another record for Amazonas (AM) (M. Cohn-Haft, in prep.).
