September 21, 2025 - Uniform Crake (Amaurolimnas concolor) Found in a spotty range from southern Mexico though Central America and into parts of South America as far as southeastern Brazil, these crakes live in forests, including swamps and mangroves. They eat earthworms, insects, spiders, small frogs and lizards, seeds, and berries, usually foraging in leaf litter and soft mud. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though they are thought to build loose cup-shaped nests. One nest found in Costa Rica was constructed from leaves in the top of a stump and contained four eggs.
