FLAVESCENT WARBLER Basileuterus flaveolus
In the humid forests of the northern half of eastern Paraguay lives another species of warbler. Here he occurs alongside the Golden-crowned Warbler, and in fact is often found in his company. Vocally they are quite similar, but this is a larger bird, much yellower overall, and more inclined to be terrestrial in its behaviour.
