About These Birds
Black-capped Tanager
The Black-capped Tanager is a strikingly beautiful tanager of Andean foothills forests in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with males displaying a glossy black cap and turquoise-blue body plumage with black wings and tail. It inhabits the canopy and edges of humid montane forests and adjacent tall secondary growth. It feeds on small fruits, berries, and insects.
