Abstract

In Ecuador, the Mountain Caracara Phalcoboenus megalopterusranges in the southernmost Andes. Records come mainly from the provinces of Loja and Zamora Chinchipe. However, there are a few visual records north of the known distributional limit, in the province of Azuay, all undocumented. We present the first photographic record for Azuay Province. In August 2018, we observed and photographed one adult at San Gerardo, canton Girón, western Andes of Azuay. This record represents a new, northernmost locality, and suggests that the species may be locally distributed north of its current known distribution.
