#Rufous-crowned Greenlet

[birdstudies]

March 2, 2024 - Rufous-crowned Greenlet (Hylophilus poicilotis) Found in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northern Argentina, these birds in the vireo family live in lowland and mountain forests and woodlands. They feed primarily on invertebrates, along with some fruit, foraging alone, in pairs, and in small flocks, sometimes with other species. Very little is known about their breeding behavior, though a bird was seen with green moss in late September and they have been observed in likely family groups of up to six birds.
