YELLOW-OLIVE FLYCATCHER Tolmomyias sulphurescens
It is not often that a bird´s nest is more instantly recognisable than the bird itself, but that is the case with the Yellow-Olive Flycatcher in Paraguay! Whilst there are several small, green and yellow flycatchers in forested areas, only one bird constructs a hanging nest with a long, tubular entrance on the underside - the Yellow-Olive Flycatcher!
