Black Oropendola

The Black Oropendola is a large, distinctive oropendola with mostly black plumage, a chestnut-brown rump and tail, a pink facial patch, and a long pale bill. It inhabits humid tropical forests of Colombia and Panama, where it nests colonially in tall emergent trees. It feeds on large insects, fruits, and nectar, and males display dramatically at nesting colonies with bowing displays.
