Black-crowned Tityra

 

The Black-crowned Tityra is a handsome, mostly silvery gray bird of tropical lowland forest and adjacent semi-open areas with taller trees. Usually found at mid-upper levels of fruiting trees.


The male is more silvery overall, with a black cap and the female has a brown face and smaller black cap.


Tityras nest in tree cavities that they sometimes steal from woodpeckers.
