First description of the nest and eggs of Golden-Crowned Flycatcher (Myiodynastes chrysocephalus)

Abstract

The Golden-Crowned Flycatcher (Myiodynastes chrysocephalus) is an uncommon monotypic species, which occurs in the montane cloudforest that extends from middle Peru to northern Argentina. Its breeding biology is poorly known. Only few nests have been found but were poorly described. In this article, we present and describe a Gold-Crowned Flycatcher´s nest found during January 2022, in Jujuy, Argentina. The nest contained three eggs, which we describe in detail. The description of this nest is the first in depth, both for this species nest and eggs.
