Feeding Habits
Spot-billed Ground Tyrant primarily feeds on insects. They forage alone or in pairs, occasionally in groups, using terrestrial hunting techniques. They run or hop on the ground, suddenly stop, and stand erect to spot prey or sally from the ground or rocks. They also perch on elevated points for foraging.
Habitat
The habitat of spot-billed Ground Tyrant is typically characterized by arid, barren landscapes dotted with sparse, bushy vegetation. A preference for steep, rocky slopes and cliffs is evident, while banks or stone walls may also provide a suitable environment. This species sometimes frequents the vicinity of high lagoons; however, it uniquely displays no particular affinity for aquatic settings compared to related species.
