“A scarlet-breasted robin was hopping in short spaces upon the grass before her.”

Jennie Gerhardt

“A scarlet-breasted troupial of La Plata perches conspicuously on a tall plant in afield, and at intervals soars up vertically, singing, and, at the highest ascending point, flight and song end in a kind of aerial somersault and vocal flourish at the same moment.”

The Naturalist in La Plata

“A quetzal!" shouted my uncle excitedly, for it was a scarlet-breasted bird, with back and wing, coverts of a glorious golden-green.”
