Two species of blood protozoans were identified from blood smears collected, from 15 specimens of the Chimango caracara (Milvago chimango) on Isla Grande de Chilo in southern Chile. These included Leucocytozoon toddi in 13 birds, including all 5 of the 4-6 week old nestlings examined, and 8 of the subadults or adults. One of the nestlings also had a dual infection of L. toddi and Haemoproteus tinnunculi. These are the first reports of blood parasites from M. chimango.
