Population status & breeding ecology of ash-breasted tit-tyrant (Anairetes alpinus, Tyrannidae)

Isabel Gomez

We will estimate the population number of the Ash Breasted Tit Tyrant using direct observations in transects through the Polylepis forests. We will mark individuals of A. alpinus in order to determine their movements through the distinct Polylepis forests areas, within the Choquetanga valley and in the near surroundings, to identify the key areas to be considered critical for the conservation of A. alpinus. By observing active nests, we will learn some aspects of the breeding ecology of A. alpinus.
