Resumen

Se describe el uso de un dormidero comunal por Eufonias (Euphonia spp). en el Jardín Botánico Wilson (Costa Rica), a partir de observaciones directas realizadas durante cuatro días consecutivos en enero de 2024, al atardecer y durante la noche. Se registraron grupos de cinco a ocho individuos y la presencia de otras especies incluyendo Comemaíz (Zonotrichia capensis), Cardenal Veranero (Piranga rubra) y dos especies del género Elaenia. El uso fue temporario y asociado a la estructura de la vegetación, sugiriendo que la cobertura densa podría influir en la selección de los sitios de pernocte.
