Primer registro de nidificación del zopilote aura (Cathartes aura) en El Salvador
El zopilote aura (Cathartes aura) es una de las aves carroñeras más abundantes del continente americano, sin embargo, algunos detalles de su biología reproductiva son totalmente desconocidos en varios países. En febrero de 2018 encontramos un nido con dos huevos en una cavidad rocosa natural en el departamento de Usulután, El Salvador.
