May 2, 2022 - Mountain Elaenia (Elaenia frantzii)

Found from southern Mexico into Colombia and Venezuela, these tyrant flycatchers live in scrubby habitats and forest edges. They feed on insects, spiders, berries, and seeds, plucking food from plants or the ground in short flights. Females build cup-shaped nests from rootlets, mosses, liverworts, lichens, and other materials and incubate the eggs.
