About These Birds
Black-faced Tanager
The Black-faced Tanager is a medium-sized tanager with pale gray plumage, a dark back, and a striking black face and throat contrasting with its otherwise clean appearance. It inhabits open woodland, cerrado scrubland, forest edges, and second growth from Colombia and Venezuela to Bolivia and much of Brazil. It feeds on fruits, berries, and insects, often foraging in the open on shrubs and low trees.
Azure-rumped Tanager
The Azure-rumped Tanager is a Vulnerable tanager found in humid forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico, weighing about 14g with a wingspan of 17.5cm. It has pale blue-and-white plumage with an azure rump and is restricted to a small and fragmented range. Habitat loss in its cloud forest home poses a significant threat to this species.
