- Abstract
This article explores the nesting behavior of the Chimango Caracara, a medium-sized raptor, in urban areas of Argentina. While urban environments can provide resources for birds, they also pose risks such as pollution and collisions. The study documents four recorded nests in major cities, highlighting the adaptability of the Chimango Caracara's nesting habits. This is the first case of successful nesting on a human structure within a highly populated city. The article suggests that further research is needed on the presence of chimango pairs nesting in urban areas and the occurrence of colonial nesting in cities.
