Feeding Habits
Short-crested Flycatcher predominantly consumes insects and fruits, like beetles, stink bugs, and Capsicum berries. With a diverse diet involving ants, bees, wasps, cicadas, and more, short-crested Flycatcher forages solo or in pairs from perches, adept at upward-striking and hover-gleaning to capture prey.
Habitat
The habitat of short-crested Flycatcher encompasses forest clearings, woodland edges, savanna-like cerrado, seasonally flooded várzea and igapó forests, riparian woodlands, and human-modified landscapes such as agricultural areas. Typically inhabiting regions in the tropical zone, short-crested Flycatcher is associated with primary successional vegetation near rivers, including monocultures of Tessaria and areas where Tessaria is intermixed with Gynerium sagittatum.
