Slate-throated Gnatcatcher
Polioptila schistaceigula
Least ConcernThe Slate-throated Gnatcatcher is a tiny active gnatcatcher or gnatwren that gleans small insects from foliage and brush in western Amazonia. It is generally resident, using local habitat year-round while shifting within its range as food and cover change. Fun fact: this batch connects several unusual songbird lineages, from cliff-nesting rockfowl to wetland donacobius and oxpeckers that forage on large mammals.
