Abstract
The Brown-capped Whitestart (Myioborus brunniceps) is distributed in Andean forests of Bolivia and Argentina; it nests in the montane forest and descends to winter in the piedmont and Chaco areas. In this work, we describe nests, eggs and juveniles observed in Tucumán, Catamarca and Jujuy. The observations are compared with previous descriptions, finding important differences in the shape of the nest.
