August 21, 2024 - White-browed Forest-Flycatcher (Fraseria cinerascens) These flycatchers are found in forests near rivers, lagoons, and creeks in parts of western Africa. Foraging alone and in pairs, they eat mostly insects and other arthropods, as well as small fruits, capturing prey in short flights or plucking it from surfaces. Females build cup-shaped nests from leaf skeletons, moss, rootlets, and fungus over bases of moss, twigs, leaves, lichen, rootlets, and plant fibers in cavities, often above water. They incubate clutches of one or two eggs alone but both parents feed the chicks.
