The Ladder-tailed Nightjar, Hydropsalis climacocerca, bird with central distribution in the Amazon Basin, was recorded in the state of Maranhão and the middle of the Tocantins River for the first time. An individual adult of the species was recorded in 2016 on a temporary river island downstream from a hydroelectric dam. This record expanded the area of occurrence and distribution of this species in the Brazilian Cerrado.
