Thank you

I'm sorry. I just said that it was a possibility (a good one since the bird inhabits the region), but I really don't know for certain. But in terms of it being a termite mound? Yes I'm pretty sure it is.

Thanks for the information.
There really Campo flickr in this area, besides, rufous hornero, white woodpecker and chalk-browed.
Do you think there is the same case in this spotting?http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/21598101

I would guess from the structure and texture it is a termite mound (see article here http://watchingtheworldwakeup.blogspot.c... about one-third down into the article. The holes could be bird excavations into the termite mound, I don't know for sure. The campo flicker is one species that makes holes in termite mounds for feeding and even nesting sometimes http://neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/por...

Ok, but you know that animals can live there?
