Behavior, vocalizations and possible relationships of Xenornis setifrons (formicariidae), a little-known Choco endemic

Article Abstract:

The behavior, vocalizations and possible relationships of Xenornis setifrons were investigated. Observations were made at a Kuna Indian Reserve about 75 miles from Panama City. Seven to nine different species of the birds were studied for three continuous hours. The setifrons' foraging and flocking activities were recorded using Sony tape recorders and microphones. Results indicated that the flocking and foraging behavior of Xenornis is similar to the behavior of Thamnomanes, a regular member of the antbird family.
