bird of submontane evergreen
forest
, it breeds
at mid-altitudes (mainly above 1,200 m
) but can occur lower in the non-breeding season
(March-October)2. Its population density
is closely tied to the presence of ant-nests. Pairs can persist in forest patches as small as 0.5 ha if there is an ant-nest, but the density
is usually much lower4.[1]
