Blue-backed Tanager

Cyanicterus cyanicterus

The Blue-backed Tanager (Cyanicterus cyanicterus) is a small passerine bird found in the Amazon Basin of South America. It is known for its striking blue back and bright yellow underparts, with a black mask around its eyes. This species is often found in the canopy of tropical rainforests, where it forages for insects and fruits. The Blue-backed Tanager is known for its melodious song and is often seen in small flocks. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss due to deforestation poses a potential risk to its population.
