% underwater inconsistency

Blackish Cinclode
[edit]It might border on trivial; but added the BC after a second read of the article "Cleaner Birds: an over view of the Neotropics, it is stated in the text on page 200- - "the Blackish Cinclodes drinking blood from the wounds of elephant seals comes as a surprise, since this bird feed on insects and other small arthropods, foraging among faeces of marine mammals and birds (Remsen 2003). However, foraging in the proximity of marine mammals can lead to feeding on mucus, blood, wounded tissue, and even milk".... at least I find it interesting, but can be reviewed and removed if not important enough.
