About These Birds
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.
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.
