May 26, 2022 - Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant (Myiotheretes striaticollis)

Found in the Andes from Venezuela to Argentina, these tyrant flycatchers live in open habitats, including shrublands and forest edges. They eat insects and small vertebrates, hunting alone or in pairs in flights from exposed perches. They build their messy cup-shaped nests under bridges or overhangs.
