No sé si corresponde o no cargar este registro. Aparecieron ejemplares en el río, después de la crecida. Muy seguramente alguien los introdujo con fines ornamentales. Lo subo porque es la primera vez que veo esta especie en alguna salida. El COA de la zona comentó que están en la reserva hace unas semanas. Son muy desconfiados, andan entre la vegetación y por el río. Apenas uno se encuentra a 10 mts. salen volando y se alejan a través del río, hasta la otra punta.
