Crimson-collared Tanager

Ramphocelus sanguinolentus

The Crimson-collared Tanager is a striking bird found in the humid forests of Central America. This medium-sized tanager is known for its vibrant plumage, with a deep crimson collar that contrasts with its black head and bright blue body. The species is often observed foraging in the canopy for fruits and insects, and its melodious song can be heard echoing through the forest. The Crimson-collared Tanager plays an important role in seed dispersal and is an indicator of the health of its forest habitat. However, like many tropical species, it faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
