Resumo:
A small group of flamingos landed next to the runway of Rio Branco International Airport, Rio Branco, capital city of the state of Acre, Brazil. One injured individual of this group was captured, and died in captivity two days later. This individual was prepared as a study skin (MPEG 58,950) and later identified as a juvenile Puna Flamingo Phoenicoparrus jamesi, therefore representing the first record of this species for Brazil. Apparently, the small group of flamingos recorded at Rio Branco was deviated from its normal course by strong winds of a cold front that swept through the central Andes and western Amazonian lowlands in late April 2005.
