Chalk-browed Mockingbird
Mimus saturninus (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823)
Mimidae — Mockingbirds, Thrashers
Chalk-browed Mockingbird, Mimus saturninus, is a passerine of the Mimidae family found in South America, including Amazonia and the south-east. It lives in open country, from savannas and forest margins to open woodland, grazed land with scattered trees, and gardens in towns and suburbs. The species is split into four subspecies. The nominate form occurs in southern Suriname and nearby Pará in Brazil, while the others range through eastern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, central Argentina and extreme south-eastern Brazil. It is mainly a lowland bird, though it reaches about 2,500 m in northern Argentina.
