Description
Summary:The straight-billed reedhaunter inhabits marshes that contain eryngos (Eryngium spp.) and is distributed from Uruguay to Brazil, where it was thought to be restricted to the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. In this study, we report the first record of the species for Paraná State, in the city of Palmas, increasing the known distribution of the species and the state’s list of birds. We also highlight the importance of studies to the conservation of the species in the state.
