Saracura Cantando

The three-potted tanager (Aramides cajaneus) is a species of bird in the Rallidae family.

It is also known as saracura-do-brejo, sericoia, three-coco, siricora, siricoia, sericora and three-pots. In general, it is heard more than seen. It lives on the ground of flooded areas with dense vegetation, mangroves, riverbanks and ponds. Its song gives rise to its three most frequent common names. Heard in the light of day and in the dark, it can, however, be heard in the middle of the day or at night. The singing, very low and loud, is a duet between the members of a pair and sometimes in chorus with neighbors. Depending on the region of the country, the local accent produces each of the common names. The saracuras in general were called by the Italian settlers of beccaccia (read becatcha), due to their clumsy way to take off, similar to the European woodcock (Scolopax rusticola).
