A tropical species, the Rose-throated Becard occurs in
desert riparian forests, open woodlands and mangroves. They feed on insects hawked from the air or gleaned from leaves, and during the fall and winter
they rely on fruits. The large, hanging nest is made of plant fibers woven
with bark shreds, spider webbing and leaves and suspended high in a tree top
from the tip of a branch.
