Rose from my garden last summer.

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.

Flames of a campfire.

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!

We celebrated eldest grandson, Aidan birthday , last Saturday at my second daughter home. Along came this gorgeous Flame-back and I already had my cam ready waiting for him to arrived. My daughter Mel, gave me the heads up that he is back becos the Oil Palm Tree is fruiting and he loves eating them. I just love his Red Hairdo.

Often imagine what I could've achieved if I can drink...

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

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.
