BOTD: Red-legged Honeycreeper

Photo: Aaron Maizlish

"Small, warbler-like tanager of tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge, woodland, and semi-open areas with taller trees. Often occurs in small groups, sometimes larger flocks, usually in the canopy of flowering trees, where it probes for nectar with its long bill. Red legs are bright on male, dullest on young birds. Male is blue in breeding plumage, with a turquoise cap; female and non-breeding male are greenish overall with faint streaking on the chest. In flight, the underside of the wings flash bright sulphur-yellow."

Animal of the Day!

Red-legged Honeycreeper (Cyanerpes cyaneus)

(Photo by Andres Vasquez Noboa)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Northern South America; Southern Central America

Size (Weight/Length)- 18 g; 12 cm

Diet- Flower nectar; Fruits; Seeds; Insects

Cool Facts- The red-legged honeycreeper can be found in small flocks in flowering or fruiting trees, feasting to their heart's content. During the breeding season, males and females pair up. The female builds the nest and incubates the eggs, the male defends the nest from predators and brings food for his chicks. The eggs hatch after only 13 days and the chicks fledge after 14. Their most common predator is the ferruginous pygmy owl and the honeycreeper can identify the owl’s call out of any other bird species, often fleeing when one is heard.

Rating- 12/10 (Blue is the rarest color found in nature.)
