Introduction

The Golden-crowned Warbler primarily forages in forest understory. It moves actively, continually flicking the wings and often carrying the tail cocked (Stiles and Skutch 1989).

Territoriality

Sexual Behavior

Social and interspecific behavior

Forages in pairs or small flocks (family groups? of 3-5 individuals), which often associate with mixed species flocks. Frequent flock associates in Central America include Tawny-crowned Greenlet (Hylophilus ochraceiceps) and Red-crowned Ant-Tanager (Habia rubica) in southeastern Mexico (Howell and Webb 1995), and antwrens, antvireos (Dysithamnus), redstarts (Myioborus) and "other small birds" in Costa Rica (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
