Green Honeycreeper (male) standing on a branch at Tinamú Birding Nature Reserve in Manizales Caldas, Colombia.

Beautiful small tanager of humid tropical lowlands. Found in humid evergreen forest edges, plantations, and gardens; at times with mixed-species feeding flocks of honeycreepers and euphonias. Often in pairs, feeding at all levels in fruiting trees and bushes. Note the short, curved bill. Males are a unique green-blue colour with a black hood and a banana yellow beak. Female resembles female Red-legged Honeycreeper but is larger, brighter, uniform green, yellow lower bill and greyish legs.

ABOUT
DIRK BECKERS

Dirk Beckers is a hobby wildlife & nature photographer living in Antwerp (Belgium). Fujifilm is mostly the gear I prefer but sometimes Nikon has a place in my bag. Aside from some exposure, sharpening, noise reduction and basic colour corrections, I don’t spend much time post-processing my photos. I believe that good photographs are accomplished outdoors, in the field, and not in front of the computer. That’s the essence of my photography. For more about me click here.

BIRD
IDENTIFICATION

Please be aware that I’m not an expert in Ornithology. I’m using the Merlin app from The Cornell Lab for bird identification, but if you think that there are still some mistakes with the names of the birds, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to make the necessary corrections!
