Resumen:
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.
