Description
The Amazonian royal flycatcher (Onychorhynchus coronatus) is a passerine bird of the tyrant flycatcher family. It is found in forest and woodland throughout most of the Amazon basin in northern Bolivia, eastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, eastern Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, and northern and western Brazil. Amazonian royal flycatchers are 15–17.5 cm (5.9–6.9 in) in length and like to dart out from branches to catch flying insects or snap them up from leaves. They build very large nests (sometimes up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long) on branches near water. The nest hangs over the water which makes it hard for predators to reach. There are two subspecies: O. c. castelnaui Deville, 1849 – west Amazonia O. c. coronatus (Statius Müller, PL, 1776) – east Venezuela, the Guianas and north Brazil It is easily overlooked and typically found in low densities, but overall it remains widespread and common. It is therefore rated as of least concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Endangered species.

Amazonian Royal Flycatcher typically resides in the midstory of humid lowland evergreen forests and may also be found in adjacent tall second growths, often in proximity to streams and varzea forests. Additionally, this bird inhabits mixed mangrove and palm swamps within certain regions. It displays a preference for pristine, unlogged forests. During certain times of the year, amazonian Royal Flycatcher has been observed in citrus orchards, such as those found in Panama. The Pacific subspecies gravitates towards deciduous and semihumid forests.
