ENDEMIC- Apical Flycatcher - Myarchus apicalis - Soata

It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests. All individuals selected open, shaded perches,
usually on bare horizontal or diagonal branches or
vines . Birds remained on a single
perch anywhere from five seconds to more than one
minute before flying to another perch. During this
time, they actively scanned for prey by constantly
turning the head.
Birds foraged mostly from 1--3 m above ground,
but occasionally ascended to 12 m. Most of our
observations of birds more than 3 m above ground
were of individuals that initially responded to tape
playback by flying in above our heads, but then
settled down to forage, remaining at greater
heights for several minutes after ceasing to
vocalise.
This birds you saw very easily at Soata area or reserva Mana Dulce
