“…Feeding behaviours presented an increase in mean duration in austral winter and early spring (June–September). Aldana‐Ardila and Carlos (2022) observed a variation in food availability during the winter in the Barra of Lagoa do Peixe, involving a decreasing availability of Laeonereis acuta and Alinea succinea , main food resource of Chilean Flamingos at the site, phenomena also observed in other lagoons during cold period (Senerpont et al . 2012; Singh & Singh 2015; Aldana‐Ardila & Carlos 2022).…”

This demands more energetic expenditure in foraging from the flamingos (Polla et al 2018), increasing the duration of behaviours associated with searching for a foraging area and feeding.…”

Assessing animal behaviour is essential for understanding their relationship with the environment and assisting in the management and conservation of species in natural habitats, especially those that present large range distribution and occupy very dynamic environments. The Chilean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis, Aves: Phoenicopteridae) breeds in the temperate regions of South America, going from Ecuador to the south of Argentina, but moves to regions on the southern coast of Brazil and Uruguay during the non-breeding season. To understand activity patterns and behavioural variations on wild Chilean Flamingos in Brazil, we carried out monthly field trips to the Lagoa do Peixe National Park, on the middle coast of Rio Grande do Sul state, between May and November 2019, totalling 99.8 total hours of observation. Forty-one different behaviours were detected, divided into six categories: Feeding, Locomotion, Resting, Preening, Social Agonist and Social Non-Agonist. A significant variation in frequency, total duration and mean duration was detected for the behavioural categories over the months, mainly in the social categories, possibly indicating a strong influence of climatic aspects, such as temperature, rainfall and wind, but also of population aspects, such as flock density and stage of the reproductive cycle, in the behaviours observed in the lagoon. We also detected a variation in behavioural richness and active behaviours among the months, indicating that contranuptial areas like Lagoa do Peixe can be used for more than only feeding and resting.

“…Reflecting the complex and different environments present in the park, the diet of the bird community in the park also presented a high variation among the different groups of species (García-Núñez et al, 2020;Tu et al, 2020). For coastal and wetland species, the invertebrates were the main source of food, mainly from the sandy beaches and the Barra region, an important ecotone between the lagoon and the sea, with a high variety of crustaceans, annelids, mollusks, and other microorganisms related to brackish environments (Goss-Custard et al, 2007;Aldana-Ardila & Carlos, 2022). In the outer parts of the park, where the influence of the sea on the lagoon decreases, the main diet of the wetland birds seems to be from vegetal origin, mainly microalgae, plants, and seeds, coming from the nearby flooded grasslands (Moorcroft et al, 2002;Crowley & Garnett, 2009).…”

The Lagoa do Peixe National Park is an important federal protected area for migratory and resident birds located on the middle coast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Nevertheless, the ornithological fauna of the Lagoa do Peixe National Park is still underestimated. The main goal of this article is to review all available ornithological records and update the list of species that occur in the Park. Furthermore, the species with confirmed records in the National Park were also classified based on their occurrence, diet, main habitat associated, conservation status, and populational trends, aiming to fully characterize the ornithological fauna of the Protected Area. The primary and secondary lists recorded 349 species for the area, including 74 migratory and 13 under some level of threat. Invertebrates represented the main prey item of the bird species analyzed. Most bird species were associated with forest environments, with a relevant number of species exclusively dependent of wetland and coastal habitats. The number of species recorded reinforces the importance of the area for the conservation of birds in South America. Furthermore, the list can be an important tool for the development of conservation and management actions, environmental education, and science communication.
