August 17, 2017 - Black-capped Piprites (Piprites pileata)
These birds are found in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. They mostly eat small fruits and arthropods, foraging alone or in pairs and sometimes joining mixed-species flocks. Though little is known about their breeding habits, males have been observed performing displays for females during the breeding season. They are classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habit loss in their small range and a population size of less than 10,000 birds.
