Diademed Tanager

Catamblyrhynchus diadema

The Diademed Tanager is a striking bird found in the Andean cloud forests of South America. It is known for its vibrant plumage, with a bright yellow head, black body, and distinctive white wing patches. These tanagers are often found in mixed-species flocks foraging for fruits and insects in the forest canopy. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, which contribute to the rich tapestry of sounds in the cloud forest. The Diademed Tanager faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation, but conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining habitat.
