This bird is not uncommon on the open grassy country near Maldonado on the
banks of the Plata. It sits generally on the top of a thistle; from wliich it makes
short flights and catches its prey in the air. The two long feathers in its tail
appear quite useless to it. It sometimes feeds on the ground. In the stomach
of one which I opened there was a spider {Lycosa), and some Coleóptera.
