Myiotriccus ornatus nest

On 10 April 2016, a nest of Ornate Flycatcher (Myiornis ornatus stellatus) was discovered beside the Montezuma Road, in Tatamá National Park, dpto. Risaralda, western Colombia. It was attended by two adults. The nest was sited within what appeared to be a natural moss cavity, c. 5 m above ground (highlighted by the red square on the first photo) and, from what could be seen of it, broadly matched descriptions and photographs of nests of this species recently presented by (1 Greeney, H. F., A. Solano-Ugalde and G. A. Londoño (2016). Nest architecture, eggs, nestlings and taxonomic affinities of the Ornate flycatcher (Myiotriccus ornatus). Ornitología Colombiana 15:70–81. Close ). The behaviour of the adults suggested that the nest contained young, although none was audible. The nest-tree is shown in the second photograph, but the nest itself is not visible from the angle at which it was taken.
