Visiting the marshes Pajonales and Juncales Abundant bird life A Coots' metropolis Frightening the Coots Grebe and Painted Snipe colonies The haunt of the Social Marsh Hawk The beautiful Jacana and its eggs The colony of Marsh Trupials The bird's music The aquatic plant Durasmillo The Trupial's nest and eggs Recalling a beauty that has vanished Our games with gaucho boys I am injured by a bad boy The shepherd's advice Getting my revenge in a treacherous manner Was it right or wrong?
That enchanting part of the marsh, with its forest of graceful miniature trees, where the social trupials sang and wove their nests and reared their young in company that very spot is now, I dare say, one immense field of corn, lucerne, or flax, and the people who now live and labour there know nothing of its former beautiful inhabitants, nor have they ever seen or even heard of the purple- plumaged trupial, with its chestnut cap and its delicate trilling song.
