SPOTTED TODY-FLYCATCHER Todirostrum maculatum

On 8 July 2018 a nest was found on Ilha do Veados, 53 km downstream of Porto Velho (08°33’52.8”S, 63°38’46.6”W). Just one nestling was present, already with open eyes and completely feathered, and was being fed by the adults. The nest was sited in the aerial portion of a root of a Capsiandra sp. ( Fabaceae), c. 5 m from the bank of the Madeira River and 1.29 m above ground. It was a closed / oval structure, 200 mm long by 75 mm wide. Its lower portion also comprised an elongated ‘tail’ of 210 mm (Fig. 5). The nest entrance, located at one side, measured 25 × 35 mm. This species’ breeding biology is comparatively well known, with eggs found throughout the year across its range, and the nest reported above is similar to previous descriptions (Walther 2004).
