Least ConcernThe Horned Screamer is a large wetland bird of tropical South America, found around marshes, lakes, floodplains, and slow rivers. It has a black-and-white body, long legs, sharp wing spurs, and a thin horn-like projection rising from the forehead. Fun fact: Its loud carrying calls make it one of the most unmistakable voices of South American wetlands.
