This article, published in the Journal of Raptor Research, explores the nesting behavior of Crested Caracaras in central Argentina. The study reveals that Crested Caracaras are known for constructing nests using a wide range of materials, including both natural and human-made substances. While the species typically chooses large trees or elevated structures for nesting, this study documents the first instance of Crested Caracaras incubating on the ground in agroecosystems in La Pampa province. The researchers observed this behavior after a nest fell from a tree, highlighting the adaptability of the species. The document is a list of literature cited in a report about Crested Caracaras in Argentina, including studies on breeding biology, nesting behavior, adaptation to urban environments, and the use of human-made materials in nest construction. It also mentions the impact of agricultural expansion on avian density and ecosystem services. The literature cited includes articles from various scientific journals and books on ornithology.
