Masked Tityra

I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes


For this week's wild bird I am sharing another lifer from Belize the Masked Tityra. We saw this bird from the open air dinning room of the Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge. I saw many  of my Belize lifers just from the lodge's dinning room..

 Sorry for the quality of these shots, it was a gray day and I had to zoom in quite a distance to the tree.. But, you can definitely make out the id of this Masked Tityra. A medium sized passerine bird, placed in the Cotinga family and found on the forest-edge and woodlands of Mexico and Central America.

The Masked Tityra has black and white plumage, black face and a red eye ring. It also has a pinkish-red bill.

I hope you enjoyed my Belize lifer.. the Masked Tityra.
