Today’s photo of the day is actually 5 photos. More specifically, five different species of tanager, all photographed in pretty much the same spot in northern Brazil. The first is a silver-beaked tanager, followed by a scarlet throated tanager, sayaca tanager, palm tanager, and hepatic tanager. There are thought to be about 240 species of tanager, all living in the Americas, mostly in the tropics, and usually very brightly colored.
I’d put my bets on the sayca tanager (iridescent light blue) and the hepatic tanager (reddish orange. The hepatic tanager looks like he was posing for you, Sean. :-)))))
What lovely photos! My retired partner and I are hoping to open a small guest house in Trinidad. Is there any chance that we may have your permission to use and acknowledge your excellent photo of the silver-beaked tanager on our website (still under construction, you can see our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/AmazonLodgeTrinidad)?

I like the first one best. He is the chubbiest.
These are so beautiful!

Denise,
Are you suggesting that I would eat one of these fine creatures?
