Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
These birds are real bloodsuckers! Vampire finches get their unique feeding habits. Individuals use their sharp beaks to create shallow wounds in the body and wings of larger birds like boobies, and drink the exposed blood as a supplement to their diet of insects. However, their victims don't seem to mind-- it's thought that this behaviour also removes parasites from their host's feathers.

BOTD: Summer Tanager
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"A languid song in southern woods, sounding like a lazy robin, is the voice of the Summer Tanager. Seeing the bird may require some patience, because it usually moves rather slowly in the treetops, often remaining hidden among the leaves. At times, however, it flies out conspicuously to catch flying insects in mid-air. This bird apparently has no fear of stinging insects, often raiding wasp nests and occasionally becoming a minor nuisance around beehives."

Capybaras and Brazilian Tanagers :-)
Take it easy, man - but take it!
[ID: an illustration of two capybaras - one laying down and one sitting - facing to the left with a serene expression. Red and black birds fly by, and one bird is perched on a capybara’s head. They are on a jade green background with yellow and white flowers. End.]

Favorite Bird Pics June '24
“And here is where nature mocks you absolutely. Birds don’t work on your schedule. They don’t care an iota for your plans or desires. They ridicule your fantasy that you are in control of what it is you see. They appear when they want to and disappear accordingly.” Julia Zarankin in Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder Baby Barred Owls Daddy Downy Woodpecker feeding baby Eastern…

BOTD: Scarlet Tanager
Photo: David Remsen
"Male Scarlet Tanagers seem almost too bright and exotic for northeastern woodlands. These birds are fairly common in oak forests in summer, but they often remain out of sight as they forage in the leafy upper branches. Sometimes in spring, when the Scarlet Tanagers have just arrived from their winter home in South America, a late freeze will force them out in the open as they search for insects on roadsides or in gardens."

At Reserva Alambi on the way to Mindo, we saw a variety of birds. The white-necked jacobin, golden tanager, and black-capped tanager were a few of them.
