February 25, 2024 - Black-lored Cisticola (Cisticola nigriloris) These cisticolas are found in mountain grasslands, marshes, and along the edges of forests and streams in southern Tanzania, northeastern Zambia, and northern Malawi. They feed primarily on insects, foraging in pairs or small groups and often joining mixed-species flocks. Breeding from November to April, they build large ball-shaped nests with side entrances from dry grass and spiderwebs and line them with grass seed heads, plant down, and sometimes other materials. Females lay clutches of two to four eggs.
