No es el Pantanal, ni los Esteros del Iberá, ni los Bañados de Rocha.
Allá en los lejanos años 80, cuando iba a la escuela primaria, cantabamos una canción en el recreo que hacía referencia a nuestro contaminado y maloliente curso de agua del barrio.
"...♫ ♫ ♫ el arroyo Miguelete donde nadan los soretes ♫♫♫ ...".
Evidentemente nadan otras cosas allí, porque esta Garza Blanca Chica remontó vuelo luego de alimentarse bajo el puente de Avenida Agraciada
