Abstract


The Black-and-tawny Seedeater, Sporophila nigrorufa, is an endangered species and one of the rarest seedeaters found in Brazil’s Pantanal and Cerrado. Although its distribution range encompasses Bolivia and Brazil, few sites harbor this species in both countries. In Brazilian territory, this species was recorded at only three sites. Here, we report on two new documented observations from Mato Grosso do Sul State, in the Pantanal and easternmost Brazilian Cerrado.
