Spotted
The Hangnest Tody-Tyrant is a small, yellowish-bellied flycatcher known for its habit of building hanging, pouch-like nests. It is a common resident of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in the understory and mid-story of humid lowland and montane forests across much of tropical South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and the Guianas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive nest in open forest or at edges. Listen for its high-pitched, often complex vocalizations which are a reliable indicator of its presence.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round during daylight, with heightened activity during the breeding season when nests are built.
Its name comes from its remarkable, long, pendant nest, which is intricately woven from plant fibers and hangs from thin branches.
