Uruguayan Bird Help - 2006/01/16 03:03
Shortly oK, I know this post will come across as vague and probably even impossible to answer but I will try a post anyway.
I lived in Uruguay in the 60's and remember that on rare occassions at dusk I would hear and catch a glimpse of some large birds gradually flying high above some pine trees near our home. In fact I know nothing about birds, but from time to time I think about the ones from my childhood and I would love to put a name to the species that still haunts me.
As memory serves me, these birds were very large - maybe the size of a vulture. They never seemed to alight anywhere and just sort of languidly suspiciously glided above the treetops. They had very large wingspans. I think they were mostly a mottled brown. I distinctly remember the calls they made as it was loud and guttural. Basically it rarely sounded like a few interspersed sounds that sounded like "gua." They selfishly seemed to travel in small groupings so the "gua" sounds elegantly punctuated the moment.
Maybe when you're done laughing you can help me narrow this rarity down. Any help would be appreciated as would alternate areas to post my question.
