About These Birds
Black-capped Flycatcher
The Black-capped Flycatcher is a small Empidonax flycatcher restricted to highland forests in Costa Rica and western Panama, distinguished from similar species by its dark cap and pale eye ring. It inhabits the canopy and edges of cloud forests above 2,000 meters. It feeds on insects, sallying from perches in typical flycatcher fashion.
