Topic: Torrent Tyrannulet


  
  Torrent Tyrannulet (Serpophaga cinerea) - The Firefly Forest
Torrent Tyrannulets are mostly gray, darker above and paler below, and have a white throat, a fl tail, fl wings with small, gray wingbars, a small, fl bill, fl legs and feet, and dark brown eyes.
Torrent Tyrannulets spend much of their time flying over the water from boulder to boulder (or fallen log) hawking for insects, so they can get a bit damp anyway.
Torrent Tyrannulets definitely prefer to live along the Savegre River in the mountains, where this river is much smaller, rockier, faster moving, and more streamlike.
