Cabanas San Isidro (Cosanga, Équateur/Ecuador)
The day is cloudy and rainy as is often the case here in July! A couple of Trogons frequent this place a lot! This magnificent bird is for once clearly visible in the middle of the lush vegetation!

The masked water tyrant (fluvicola nengeta) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in its major range in eastern and southeastern Brazil in the caatinga and extreme eastern cerrado, and also Atlantic coastal regions; a second smaller disjunct range occurs on the Pacific side of South America in western Ecuador, and coastal border regions of northwest Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest.
Masked water-tyrants eat mostly insects like butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers and larvae.

This is the last of the three flowerpiercer species I saw on the Columbia excursion. The Masked flowerpiercer has that same upswept bill with a hook at the tip that is designed to pierce the base of a flower, gaining access to the nectar, and thus avoiding pollinating the flower.

Diglossa cyanea
(Masked Flowerpiercer / Picaflor enmascarado)
The Masked Flowerpiercer is a common constituent of the Andean avifauna. It ranges from the coastal mountains of northern Venezuela south to northern Bolivia, principally at elevations above 2000 m, and it is generally found in humid montane forest and its borders, especially those close to the treeline.

A common (but not plain) yellowthroat calls out from its cattail perch, proclaiming its righteous territory.
These bright diminutive warblers are usually in perpetual motion in dense vegetation seeking insect and spider prey and avoiding predators, making them a difficult subject for photographic attention.
Although common yellowthroats are fairly abundant and occur across a broad swath of North America, their numbers have declined by 26% over the past 50 years, due in large part to the loss of their preferred wetland habitat.
Fairly large flowerpiercer, almost all blue with black mask and red eye. Bill is upturned with a hook at the tip, typical of a flowerpiercer. Sexes alike. Fairly active like a warbler or small tanager, often following a mixed-species flock but sometimes foraging separately. Could be confused with Blue-and-black Tanager but note bill shape and blue (not black) wings. Separated from other flowerpiercers by bright blue color combined with black mask. Quite common and widespread in the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia, usually above 2,000 m. Feeds on fruit, nectar, and insects. ebird.org/species/masflo1
I couldn't stop photographing this bird. What a beauty! Wishing everyone a peaceful Blue Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

For some reason he kept coming back to this leaf on our Nectarine tree, which gave me a chance to get some shots.

This species is widespread in the highland forests of the Andes and Guiana Shield from Guyana through Colombia and down to Bolivia. Hacienda El Bosque, Colombia
these beauties are actually members of the Tanager family
( Thraupidae ) and are not true cardinals
Seen late afternoon from a small boat on the Ariporo River in Llanos Orientales in Colombia.
This river is a part of the Orinoco River basin.
This tanager is found in northeast Colombia, northern Venezuela and Trinidad.
