MOUNTAIN CACIQUE Cacicus chrysonotus. A Mountain Cacique is carrying a long, green grass blade in its bill as it approaches the entrance of the nest it is building which hangs from a tree limb near the Papallacta River on the upper east slopes of the Andes near Papallacta in northern Ecuador at 8:48 AM on October 3, 2019. The nest hole is located on the left at the level of the cacique's head.

The elevation here is about 2,700 meters (8,858 feet).

The Mountain Cacique belongs to the family Icteridae and lives in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Bolivia.

The Mountain Cacique has also been known as the Northern Mountain Cacique Cacicus leucoramphus.
