Abstract
The Bran-colored Flycatcher (Myiophobus fasciatus) was studied at the southern border of its distribution in Buenos Aires. Data on adult behavior are included; different vocalizations were recognized. A total of 11 nests were studied. Nesting success was only 14.3%. Clutch size seems to be about 2 eggs throughout the species’ range. Variation in the growth rate of nestlings may explain this unusual uniformity, but further information on this point is needed.
