Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: I provide the first description of the nest and eggs of Fawn-throated Foliage-gleaner Automolus cervinigularis, based on observations over a 13-year period at El Copal Reserve, Jiménez, Cartago province, Costa Rica. I studied six nests; all were built at the end of a tunnel with a stick platform inside like other foliage-gleaner nests. Based on citizen science data (n = 8) and my own observations (n = 6) the species' breeding season occurs between February and July.
