Hot Rods with Flames
View allAll Photos Tagged Flames
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!

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.

Flame Robin, Petroica phoenicea
≠==================≠
We have only had a limited success this year with the winter visiting Robin flocks. Perhaps we were not looking in the right places. Perhaps they have wanted to explore new areas on their pilgramage down from the high country.
This male was feeding along the mown area beside a roadway, and as vehicles drove past, he'd fly back to a bushy area.
Fortunately for me, he came back onto ta branch near where I was standing.

Flame Robin (m) (Petroica phoenicea) from one of two encounters with this species this winter, central Victoria, Australia. The female was hunting across the forest floor nearby, while the male briefly surveyed the area from this low vertical perch; he then joined her shortly afterwards. This is an extreme crop, so fine feather detail is lacking, but I really liked the setting.
It's pouring rain, stifling and blowing the dog off the chain — time to bring the photographic subject indoors. The hibiscus season is almost over and the flowers are withered, wet and shredded. But wait, there in the dense shrub there's one. Quickly cut, remove insects, stick stem into some water in a wine bottle. Open the curtains wide, set the flower, camera and tripod up, and forget there's another night and day of boisterous La Nina weather. And here it is, the last flame hibiscus of the summer.

Rainy day ICM play that started out with me trying to get some photos for the 100 flower challenges. This is a lily.
