Each day, male bees departed from the shelter early in the morning, returning to them late in the afternoon. Interactions among males were aggressive when two or more males returned simultaneously to the shelter, and lasted until all of them had either occupied a shelter inside the nest stick-matrix or left the nest proximity. Nests occupied by bird families apparently were preferred by bees, as well as those located nearest to a massive food source, a flowering tree Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth, 1823 (Fabaceae).

The record of the Black-backed Water-tyrant was made in the midst of a gap recognized so far in its distribution in southern Brazil, and the few data available do not allow any further conclusion on the implications of this register. The record of the Hooded Tanager, although maybe consequence of a wandering individual, suggests a current expansion of this species range. Finally, the records of the Bicolored Conebill represent a new southernmost distribution limit for the species.
