Even hummingbirds who are always fighting for territory and resources have their moment of peaceful coexistence. Wishing we "humans" could do the same...

This may be my last post for a while. I'll be away photographing.

The Golden-collared Honeycreeper is an uncommon resident of humid montane forests of the Andes, from southern Colombia south to southeastern Peru. Its behavior is similar to that of many other species of small tanagers: singles or pairs forage for fruit and insects in the forest midstory and canopy, and usually are associated with mixed-species flocks dominated by other species of small tanagers. Picture taken at Amagusa Reserve - Ecuador.

Fairly large tanager with a thick bill. Males are visually striking with bright crimson bodies and black wings and tail. Note the silver lower mandible. Females lack the silver bill and are mostly brown with a cinnamon belly and rump. Found at forest borders and in non-forest habitats, including urban parks and gardens. Males are impossible mistake, being brilliant scarlet-red with a black tail and wings, and a very obviously pale mandible to the bill. Females, on the other hand, are less distinctively plumaged and recall. Not globally threatened (Least Concern). Uncommon to locally fairly common; almost always in small numbers.

Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
