Thamnophilus schistaceus Orbigny 1837

Description

PLAIN-WINGED ANTSHRIKE Thamnophilus schistaceus

On 15 June 2018 a pair of T. schistaceus was observed in the same floodplain forest as that where the nest of Phaethornis hispidus was found. The two birds gave constant alarm calls and circled me. Searching for a possible nest, a single fledgling was found, perched 2 m above ground (Fig. 2). From its appearance, the young had probably fledged the same or previous day. Nests have been described from Brazil in February and October, and from Peru in March and September (Zimmer & Isler 2003).
