Alagoas Trip Report - Feb, 2005
The Seven-colored Tanager
These
photographs were all taken on the farm over the period of our stay
there. We found the Seven colored in various places on the farm - He
was sighted on all of our walks on the trails we are defining.At this time of year he seems partial to mango - which means that within the past 450 years he has successfully adapted to use this exotic food source.
He also is very partial to the mulungu and the bromeliads found within. He uses the tree for food and shelter and the water found in the bromeliad for bathing and probably drinking.
