ALTApril 20, 2022 - Plain-capped Ground-Tyrant or Paramo Ground Tyrant (Muscisaxicola alpinus)
These tyrant flycatchers are found in scrubland, grassland, and other open areas in the Andes in parts of Colombia and Ecuador. They eat insects, standing upright on the ground or a low perch and capturing their prey in short flights. They build nests from grass and roots in cavities or crevices under rocks, where females lay clutches of four eggs.
