There are lots of brightly-colored South American tanagers. This one, the golden-collared tanger, is very pretty, but more subtle than some of its relatives. It's a common bird in higher-elevation Peruvian cloud forests on the east slope of the Andes (along with extremely colorful relatives such as the hooded mountain-tanager and the scarlet-bellied mountain'tanager). These were photographed on a drizzly day near the Wayqecha Research Station, at about 3000 m elevation on the Manu Road in southeastern Peru. |
