Media notes
Lateral view of two birds foraging in a tree. This species is uncommon and usually unpredictable in Venezuela. However, in the last few weeks it has become abundant in the Macarao National Park near Caracas at 1848 m altitude feeding in Melastomatacea and other trees. Nobody from our group of very experienced birders had never seen it perched before. We were lucky that a band of some 20 birds landed in front of us. Elevation: 1848 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
