FUENTES MORENO, Axel et al. Observations of the spotted rail, Pardirallus maculatus (Aves: Rallidae) in central-western Veracruz. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2019, vol.35, e3502223.  Epub 30-Dic-2019. ISSN 2448-8445.  https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2019.3502223.

We report the first records of the Spotted Rail (Pardirallus maculatus) in central-western Veracruz. The presence of Spotted rails in this area can be explained by the high dispersal capabilities or wandering behavior of the species but also it could be due to the fact that there are biases in the knowledge of its distribution. Also, we report the consumption of duckweed plants (Lemnaceae) for this rail.
