Feeding Habits
Swainson's Flycatcher primarily consumes insects and fruits. Nestlings are fed dragonflies and berries. Noted for foraging by hover-gleaning to capture prey and occasionally employs aerial hawking. Shows a preference for feeding in mid-strata vegetation and displays frugivorous tendencies in non-breeding areas.
Habitat
Swainson's Flycatcher preference lies in woodlands, clearings, and varied forest types, including savannas, cerrado, and scrublands. They adapt to fragmented landscapes, such as urban environments and isolated forest areas. Notably inhabiting canopy levels of subtropical hill forests, swainson's Flycatcher is also present in riparian zones, coastal mangroves, and, during non-breeding periods, in both Chaco and rainforest ecosystems.
