April 10, 2023 - Chin Hills Wren-Babbler (Spelaeornis oatesi) Found in eastern India and western Myanmar, these wren-babblers live in evergreen forests and nearby scrub. They probably eat small invertebrates, usually foraging near the ground. Breeding between March and June in Myanmar, they build domed oval nests with entrances near the top or side from leaves, coarse grasses, fibers, moss, and other materials in dry grass or other low vegetation on banks. Females lay clutches of two to four eggs.
