In the UFRA area: In the studies carried out at UFRA areas, this species of bird had a restricted spatial distribution. It was only found in organic sugarcane fields. The strong presence of web spiders (feeding and reproduction) has represented a double source of resources for this species. This bird is considered rare because it was spotted only once.
