I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
This week I am sharing another Belize lifer the Crimson-collared Tanager. All my sightings of this bird were at our Belize Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge.
On a pretty day, this bird was gorgeous! Black with a red collar, tail coverts are also red. Habitat is the edges of humid evergreen forest.
Looks like I captured this Crimson-collared Tanager singing.. In the morning at breakfast, these birds were hopping around in the trees..
They have a pale colored bill. The plumage is identical in both sexes..This bird is found from Mexico south to Panama..
Above is the same bird on a rainy morning at our Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge. Even on a gray day the Crimson-collared Tanagers red nape and neck really stand out. I hope you enjoyed my Belize lifer.
Thanks for stopping by my post and for all the nice comments.

Hi Eileen,

A Beautiful Bird!!
That's a gorgeous bird!
amazing...in that first photo he almost doesn't look real...as if he is made of felt or wool or something. What amazing colors!
Such a stunning bird! Lovely photos, Eileen. I've never seen one of these before. All the best, Bonny
That's an incredibly beautiful bird. I wonder if it's related to the Scarlet Tanager?
Never heard of that one Eileen. What a beautiful lifer for you to get, and its looks certainly match the name this time. I hope you're having an enjoyable week.
i think i need to move to Belize ... what a beautiful bird. i wonder if he/she can be camouflaged when he needs to? ( :

What a cool bird! I've never seen anything quite like it.
Wow, a most striking tanager! How wonderful it must have been to wake up every morning and see this beauty. Terrific photographs, Eileen!
That is one gorgeous tanager! I love the close up shots. And why do they insist to pose in the cloudy weather??? I saw them twice and each time I had a bear of a time getting decent photos of them. You got great shots! Congrats!
Congrats on this stunner! You really have amazing photos. I've seen this bird twice and each time, it decided to pose in the very cloudy weather:)
Handsome indeed . . .
The Texas Birders posted a sighting of one of these a few months ago...too far a distance for us to drive and not have it show up. So, we just drooled and forgot it was there.
Extraordinary images today Eileen.
WoW, what a beautiful bird eileen, you have had an awesome year with lifers!!!

Hello Eileen,

My goodness Eileen how beautiful these Crimson-collared Tanagers are!
I believe the closer you get to the equator, the more colorful the birds tend to be!
What a dream place indeed to observe the bird world and probably many other interesting creatures!
Well done!!
What a beautiful bird, love the colouring. Thanks Eileen.
Eileen gosh, this is again a beauty of a bird! That red and black I find beautiful to see. I really need to emigrate * lol *.
