Anisognathus somptuosus cyanopterus, Blue-winged Mountain-tanager

Eestikeelse nimeta erksavärviline tangara on Andide mäestiku elanik, kes eelistab kõrgemaid tihedaid metsi ja mägialasid. Tema elustiil on aktiivne ning toiduks tarvitab lind nii putukaid kui ka puuvilju, see aitab tal kõrgel mägedes hakkama saada. Mägedes hakkama saamine on ka põhjuseks, miks see tangara liigub ringi nn peregruppides - koos otsitakse süüa ning koos on lihtsam ka kiskjatega hakkama saada ja järglaste eest hoolitseda. Foto sai tehtud Mindo pilvemetsas, Ecuadoris.

The Blue-winged Mountain-tanager is a resident of the Andes mountain range, favoring higher, dense forests and mountainous areas. Its active lifestyle involves a diet of both insects and fruits, which enables it to thrive in high mountain environments. The challenges of mountain living are also the reason why this tanager moves around in so-called family groups – together they search for food, defend against predators, and care for their offspring. This photo was taken in the cloud forest of Mindo, Ecuador.
