Author's comments:
Fotografía tomada desde un refugio a varios metros del nido. Se pudo constatar que ambos sexos incuban. A veces, en el cambio de turno, el ejemplar que llegaba traía una ramita con una pequeña flor blanca de una vegetación acuática del lugar.
La primera observación de la especie en Saladillo la hice en 1968 y no la volví a encontrar hasta 1986.
