About These Birds
Black-headed Tanager
The Black-headed Tanager is a small, glittering tanager with a glossy black head contrasting with silvery-white and turquoise body plumage in the male. It inhabits humid montane forests, forest edges, and adjacent plantations of northwestern South America, primarily in Venezuela and Colombia. It feeds on small fruits, berries, and insects, foraging actively in the canopy and midstory, often in mixed-species flocks.
