May 18, 2022 - Morelet’s Seedeater (Sporophila morelleti)

Found from southern Texas through eastern Mexico to Panama, these seedeaters live in grasslands, savannas, and shrublands. They eat mostly seeds and insects, usually foraging in flocks in low vegetation, or sometimes on the ground, in bushes, or in low trees. Frequently breeding in small colonies, females probably build the small cup-shaped nests from grass, small twigs, rootlets, plant fibers, and other materials in shrubs or large weeds. While females likely incubate the eggs alone, both parents feed the chicks.
