La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)
Endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Untamed Birds of Colombia Expeditions
Colombia is the only South American country where this woodpecker can be found, and we had several chances to see and photograph them at a some of the sites on our Birds of Colombia Expedition.
Starting in Valle de Cauca around the city of Cali, we visit multiple sites specifically chosen for the birds that can be found and the photographic opportunities the sites provide. We then travel north, making stops at select sites, eventually spending several days around the incredibly diverse area of Manizales, Caldas.
While this trip only explores a small part of the worlds most bird diverse country, it is chock a block with with special species including Colombian endemics and other rare species!
Any questions about our Untamed Birds of Colombia Expedition?
We have a scouting trip planned later this year to explore yet more of Colombia and find more top bird photography sites.
So stay tuned!
