Historia Natural
Reproducción
Su nido es de construcción y localización semejantes a las del tijo (Crotophaga sulcirostris). Puede ser elaborado por una pareja solitaria o varias parejas en cooperación; lo colocan de 1.2 a 3 m. de altura sobre un árbol o arbusto espinoso. Ponen de 4 a 15 huevos o más, parecidos a los C. sulcirostris (de color blanco tiza que rápidamente se manchan de café y que dejan ver una cáscara azul o verde azulado cuando se rasguñan), pero más grandes.
Alimentación
Forrajea a menudo con el ganado. En ocasiones persigue hormigas guerreras o arrieras (Eciton sp.) para cazar los insectos que huyen del ataque de estas.
Comportamiento
Forman bandadas en sitios abiertos.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Frecuenta potreros, sabanas, cultivos, jardines, áreas de crecimiento secundario, pantanos y arboledas despejadas.
Distribución
Es una especie residente común en el sur de la vertiente del PacÃfico, desde el nivel del mar hasta por lo menos los 1.200 m. en algunos sitios; escasamente alcanza a extenderse hasta Cañas por el norte. El primer registro en Costa Rica se produjo en 1931 cerca de la frontera con Panamá; para 1940 habÃa alcanzado el Valle del Térraba, y en 1975 el extremo sur de Guanacaste. Ha desplazado en gran parte al tijo (Crotophaga sulcirostris) de Parrita hacia el sur.
