The Giant Snipe (Gallinago undulata) in Argentina
Abstract
Records of the Giant Snipe (Gallinago undulata) in Argentina date from 1886 to the present but none of them could be assigned to this species with certainty and it is not known if some specimens were really collected within Argentina. Therefore, data are confuse and subjective according to the interpretation of specialists. In this study we summarize the available records of Gallinago undulata in Argentina and confirm with recordings its presence in the area of the Aguapey River, Santo Tomé Department, Corrientes Province. We speculate on the historic and present status of the species in Argentina and recommend a seasonal monitoring in Aguapey and further searches in order to determine its status and potential local threats.
