Abstract ∙ Abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing tackle, including monofilament lines, often result in negative impacts on a variety of birds. However, scarce information is available for South American raptors. Here we report three instances of raptor entanglements or injured birds in southeastern Buenos Aires, Argentina, all belonging to the Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango). The sightings include one injured female (2015), and one male and two females entangles in nylon monofilament lines (2017). All observations referred to live individuals during the species’ breeding season.
Resumen ∙ Chimango (Milvago chimango) enredado en aparejos de pesca en el sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina Las artes y aparejos de pesca abandonados, perdidos o descartados, incluidas las líneas de nylon o monofilamento, a menudo tienen un impacto negativo en una variedad de aves. Sin embargo, es escasa la información disponible para aves rapaces en América del Sur. Presentamos tres casos de aves enredadas o mutiladas en el sudeste bonaerense, Argentina; todos pertenecientes al Chimango (Milvago chimango). Los avistamientos incluyen una hembra mutilada (2015) y un macho y dos hembras enredadas en líneas de nylon o monofilamento (2017). Todos los hallazgos incluyeron individuos vivos durante la temporada reproductiva de la especie.
