Feeding Habits
Golden-crowned Flycatcher's diet consists mainly of insects and fruits, including beetles (Coleoptera), bugs (Homoptera), stink bugs (Pentatomidae), and wasps and ants (Hymenoptera). Golden-crowned Flycatcher forages actively, hunting with unique adaptations to capture a variety of prey.
Habitat
The golden-crowned Flycatcher typically inhabits the canopy and edges of wet montane cloud forests, as well as humid foothill and montane woodlands. It thrives in areas affected by natural disturbances such as landslides or where trees have fallen, creating moderate-sized clearings. Additionally, golden-crowned Flycatcher can be found in larger clearings, high-elevation pastures with scattered tall trees, along roads, and near watercourses. Their elevation range generally spans from 1,000 to 2,800 meters, but in some regions, it extends from 350 to 3,100 meters.
