Behavior
Introduction
Like most solitaires, the Black-faced Solitaire is mostly arboreal. Often sits upright on a perch remaining motionless while allowing for a close approach, then will quickly fly off with just a flash of the wings (Ridgely and Gwynne 1989).
Social and Interspecific Behavior
Usually solitary or in pairs. When not breeding, may form loose flocks (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
