December 31, 2020 - Collared Redstart or Collared Whitestart (Myioborus torquatus)

Found in Costa Rica and Panama, these warblers live in mountain forests. Foraging in pairs or small groups and frequently joining mixed-species flocks, they feed on insects, often capturing them in the air. Females build domed nests on the ground from plant fibers, roots, tree-fern scales, and leaves and probably incubate the eggs alone. Both parents feed the chicks.
