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 (
