Feeding Habits
Subtropical Doradito primarily consumes insects, foraging alone or in small family groups. Typically feeds undercover, staying low and quiet, but may perch atop grass to glean prey or hover-glean from grass tips.
Habitat
The subtropical Doradito typically inhabits marshes, moist sedge pastures, and brushy areas close to water sources within subtropical zones of the Andes. They show a preference for environments that support a mix of wetland and grassland ecosystems, often found in upland regions during the breeding season. Outside the breeding season, they are less frequently observed in agricultural fields and in tall grassy habitats.
