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.
