HUBER, W., WEISSENHOFER, A., AUBRECHT, G. 2009: First observations of nest and nestling of the<br />
Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager Habia atrimaxillaris (Dwight & Griscom 1924), endemic to the Golfo Dulce<br />
rainforests, Costa Rica - Brenesia 70 (in press)<br />
Abstract: A nest and nestlings of the endemic black-cheeked ant-tanager Habia atrimaxillaris<br />
were first found near the <strong>Tropenstation</strong> <strong>La</strong> <strong>Gamba</strong>, in SW Costa Rica, in February 2008. The<br />
nesting site is situated in the largely primary Esquinas forest near the Golfo Dulce, where H.<br />
atrimaxillaris is regularly observed. The nest and nestlings are described here in comparison with<br />
other Habia species. Aspects of breeding behaviour are discussed, including new findings such as<br />
the discovery that a non-breeding helper is involved in rearing the juveniles.<br />
