#black-fronted tody-flycatcher
ALTApril 28, 2022 - Common Tody-Flycatcher or Black-fronted Tody-flycatcher (Todirostrum cinereum)
Found from southern Mexico into central South America, but not in much of Amazonia, these tyrant flycatchers live in gardens, forest clearings and edges, and other open and semi-open habitats. Frequently foraging in pairs or small family groups, they capture their arthropod prey in quick flights or pick it from plants while hovering. They also eat some fruit. Pairs build long pouch-like nests with side entrances in trees from plant fibers, spiderwebs, and other materials. Females incubate clutches of two to three eggs and both parents feed the chicks.
