Paradise tanagers are described in the Birds of Peru field guide as "the quintessentially gaudy tropical bird," and it's hard to argue with that. These were coming to a small fruiting tree in San Pedro, at about 1500 m altitude on the Manu Road in southeastern Peru. Other species feeding on these fruits included a number of other tanagers (palm, silver-beaked, orange-eared, golden, golden-eared, golden-naped, spotted, beryl-spangled, bay-headed, blue-necked, saffron-crowned, and common bush-tanager), and in addition to the tanagers, versicolored barbets, blue-naped chlorophonias and orange-bellied euphonias. |
