Abstract

he breeding behavior of a couple of Narrowbilled Woodcreepers, L. angustirostris, was followed in a nest discovered in an urbanized area in the municipality of Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Eggs, nest and nest site are described. Three nestlings were color-banded and parental care received by each of them followed. Parents alternated in incubation and pos-nestling care and cared for the young for 19 days, until they left the nest. Some parts of the nestlings’ bodies were infested by Philornis sp. Reproducion followed the pattern known for the family.
