Breeding
Introduction
Little information; most of what is known is from Skutch (1972).
Breeding: Nests reported from Costa Rica in June, but adults have been seen feeding juveniles as late as October (Skutch 1972). In Panama, a bird was observed carrying nesting material in January (Wetmore et al. 1984).
Nest building: Nest is a shallow, very thin cup of fibers; it is attached by the rim to slender horizontal twigs. It apparently is constructed entirely by the female, although the male sometimes accompanies the female to the nest (Skutch 1972). The nest observed by Skutch was 6 m above the ground. The clutch is two; the eggs are "rather dark" and can be seen through the thin lining of the nest (Skutch 1972). The incubation period is 12-13 days. Both parents fed nestlings but the female fed them slightly more often. After nestlings were born, their main diet consisted of insects, but as nestlings grew older, the parents brought red objects thought to be Clusia seeds or berries (Skutch 1972). The nestlings fledged after 13-14 days (Skutch 1972).
