humid forests occupied by Sierran Elaenia, but the habitat relationships between the two species have not been studied in detail. In northwestern Argentina, where White-crested Elaenia overlaps with Small-billed Elaenia, there is some degree of segregation by habitat: Small-billed Elaenia breeds in tall woods, and primaril below 1500 m, whereas White-crested Elaenia occurs in smaller trees and in agricultural areas, with an elevational distribution of 1500-3500 m.
