It is found mainly in forest but also in clearings and
secondary growth. Most authorities say that it is mainly a lowland bird up to 400 metres though HBW states that it can be found up to 1,700 m in
Costa Rica. These photos were taken at the lodge at Montezuma which must be at about 1,650 metres.
Like all Oropendolas it is social, gregarious and arboreal feeding mainly in the canopy and on insects. |
