Field Notes
Description:
This nocturnal insectivore hunts from a perch like a shrike or flycatcher. During the day it perches upright on a tree stump, and is completely invisible, looking like part of the stump because it stays so completely still as it perches. If disturbed by larger animals, such as Common Marmosets , it may break its camouflage and try to chase them away however. Wikipedia
Habitat:
Tropical lowland rainforest: Sacha Lodge
