Sicalis luteola (Sparrman)
In the 1963 compendium (Friedmann, p. 213) it was noted that this finch had been listed as a victim of the shiny cowbird in Argentina and in Uruguay. It was then stated that, “inasmuch as neither the finch nor the cowbird are local or rare, and inasmuch as the nest of the former seems in every way suitable, it is difficult to see why the misto (grassland yellow) finch is not parasitized more frequently.” Now Eugene Gerzenstein has informed us that in Uruguay he found it to be a fairly frequent host choice of the parasite. An additional Argentine record comes to us from Señor S. Narosky, who found a parasitized nest at Atalaya, Buenos Aires, 26 November 1967.
