The Flame-faced Tanager is one of the most spectacular members of the diverse and exceptionally colorful genus Tangara. Living up to its common name, the forehead begins as a deep glimmering red, shading into a brilliant yellow on the nape and sides of the head. This "flame" contrasts sharply with the jet black back. The Flame-faced Tanager is a common member in mixed species foraging flocks in the canopy of humid montane forest from the Andes of extreme southwest Venezuela south to central Peru. It forages exclusively along mossy branches and occasionally peering at the underside in search of arthropods. There are three subspecies of the Flame-faced Tanager, described based mostly on minor differences in plumage. The species is typically found from 1000-2600 m and is most numerous above 1500 m. The IUCN Red list assesses the Flame-faced Tanager as a species of Least Concern; however, the population size is declining due to habitat destruction. Thus, the Flame-faced Tanager should become the focus of future studies.
Have a Peaceful Saturday!

Candle flames for the Macro Mondays theme: flame. An interesting challenge - what the eye perceives and what the camera records are not necessarily very similar.
HMM!
Thanks for visiting. I appreciate the very kind comments and faves very much.
Have a wonderful week!
Ramphocelus flammigerus -female-
(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)
This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".
The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.

Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me

Cooking this afternoon! Potato and cabbage curry!
For Macro Mondays, Theme - Flames!

I like to take their photos up close or far away, love to see their habitats, too. (very cropped)
Male flame skimmers are known for their entirely red or dark orange body, this includes eyes, legs, and even wing veins. Females are usually a medium or darker brown with some thin, yellow markings. Due to its choice habitat of warm ponds, streams, or hot springs, flame skimmers are found mainly in the southwestern part of the United States.
It's very difficult for me to thank everyone individually, so thank you all very much for your visit and your comment, much appreciated.

The Flame-colored Tanager is widespread and common in the highlands of Central America, from northern Mexico south to western Panama. It primarily is resident, but some individuals disperse, especially after breeding, and it is a rare visitor to the mountains of the southwestern United States. Flame-colored Tanager occurs in a variety of forested habitats, including humid evergreen forest, pine-oak forests, and forest edge. Males are primarily orange or red, with dusky stripes on the back, and black wings with prominent white wing bars and tips to the tertials. The male of subspecies bidentata of western Mexico is more orange, especially on the face and the belly, than are males of the three other subspecies, which are redder overall. Females lack red or orange; they are olive above, with dusky streaks, and yellow below, with a wing pattern similar to that of the male. This species forages for a variety of fruits and insects in the midstory and canopy. Flame-colored Tanager usually travels alone or in pairs, which frequently associate with mixed-species flocks. This is a juvenile. Photographed at Copay de Dota - Costa Rica.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

When I first really noticed dragonflies around 2005, it was because of one large bright red (really orange) one that seemed to rule the swamp. They would fly at great speeds (well, up to 35 mph) patrolling their overlapping territories which covered two-thirds of the lake.
For awhile it seemed I was taking photos of Flame Skimmers to the exclusion of every other species (until competition from Widow Skimmers), but their numbers were only part of the reason. The other was that they perched perfectly on blades of water grasses, at the very end of a branch, or atop my favorite, the Horsetail Grass which has a matching evolutionary period of 330 million years! If that doesn't gain your interest, well, then I'll just count myself lucky enough to discovered them in the first part of the digital age.
