Abstract:We report Fan-tailed Warblers (Euthlypis lachrymosa) foraging in association with the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in El Imposible National Park, El Salvador. Although the warbler is known to forage opportunistically at ant swarms, this is the first report of commensal feeding with a mammal.
