About These Birds
Black-hooded Tanager
The Black-hooded Tanager is a strikingly colored small tanager with a blue and turquoise body, black hood, and contrasting golden-buff rump. It inhabits humid montane forests of Venezuela and adjacent Guyana at elevations between 1,000 and 2,500 meters. It feeds on small fruits, berries, and insects, foraging actively in the canopy and forest edges, often in mixed-species flocks.
