brushland tinamou (Nothoprocta cinerascens) that regularly flew 660 ft (200 m) from nest to feeding place. In other species, flights of 660–4,900 ft (200–1,500 m) have been observed. In Patagonia, the elegant crested tinamou (Eudromia elegans) forms strings of six to 30 or more birds. But most adult tinamous live singly except during the reproductive season. Many tinamous roost on the ground, but in some—especially those in the genus Tinamus—the hind surface of the tarsus is rough. More
