	Cracidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chachalacas, guans and curassows are birds in the family Cracidae.
		Two species, the Trinidad Piping Guan and the Rufous-vented Chachalaca occur on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago respectively.
		The ichnotaxon Tristraguloolithus cracioides is based on fossil eggshell fragments from the Late Cretaceous Oldman Formation of southern Alberta, Canada which are similar to chachalaca eggs (Zelenitsky et al, 1996), but in the absence of bone material their relationships cannot be determined except that they are apparently not from a dinosaur.

	Audubon WatchList - Plain Chachalaca
		Chachalacas are medium-sized, turkey-like birds that are widespread throughout Central and South America.
		In the United States, Plain Chachalacas are found naturally only in the lower Rio Grande Valley of south Texas; there are also introduced populations of this species found further north in Texas, and off the coast of Georgia.
		Surveys of Plain Chachalacas in south Texas between 1990 and 1997 found no population trend for the species in that area, and no trend estimates are available from the remainder of the birds' range.

	Song of the Chachalaca \| TPW magazine \| February 2002
		Perhaps 15 yards ahead, several chachalacas appear to be in the midst of a brush country rumble.
		The plain chachalaca, about the size and shape of the drab female ring-necked pheasant, ranges from the Lower Rio Grande Valley southward, with various subspecies occurring along the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico into Honduras.
		Oddly, chachalacas — sometimes called Mexican pheasants or Mexican tree pheasants — seem to thrive in disturbed habitat like the thickets and brushlands that spring up after tropical forests are cleared.

		The plain chachalaca, a bird similar to the Andean guan, was still in season, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley brushland is one of the few places in the United States where they can be hunted.
		But when human events conspired against the hunt, an early departure for South Padre Island on Sunday morning was in no way a problem.
