Blue-crowned Trogon is fairly uncommon throughout its large range. It occurs in lowland humid forest, particularly in várzea, and seem to prefer edges and second growth. Like other trogons, it forages on small arthropods and fruit, often perching motionlessly for long periods of time. To distinguish Blue-crowned from other trogons, note especially the red belly and black tail fairly barred with white, field marks that are present in both sexes. The male also has a blue head and breast, whereas females are gray throughout their head, breast, and back. Wild - picture taken at Chapada dos Guimarães - Mato Grosso - Brazil.

Wishing everyone a nice blue Monday!

The Black-collared Hawk (Busarellus nigricollis) is a denizen of most fresh or brackish water habitats in tropical and subtropical Central and South America, occurring from central Mexico south to Uruguay. Typically Black-collared Hawks perch above shallow pools or marshes and drop onto prey, which most often are fish; as in the Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), the undersides of the toes of this hawk have spines to aid in grabbing fish. Other prey includes lizards or rodents. Named for its black bib, the Black-collared Hawk most easily is identified by its rufous plumage and very short tail. This species can be quite common in appropriate habitat but is patchily distributed and local over much of Amazonia. Picture taken at Pantanal, Brazil.

Wishing everyone a Peaceful Wednesday!

I'll be away for a while. Take care!

Anhinga - the Anhinga is among the most distinctive of American birds, with long, snakelike neck, straight bill, large fanlike tail resembling that of a turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; from which the former name Water Turkey was derived), corrugations on its central rectrices, and unique swimming, flight, and behavior patterns. This truly aquatic species spends its life in water or on branches overhanging protected, usually freshwater streams and ponds. Unlike most aquatic birds, Anhingas have fully wettable plumage and dense bones, adaptations that allow them to achieve neutral buoyancy in water, facilitating a slow, stalking hunting habit while submerged in shallow aquatic vegetation, where they spear fish. The neck vertebrae are arranged to allow a strong and rapid stab. While the bird is swimming on the surface, its body is usually submerged, with only the head and snakelike neck visible, making it obvious why the term “snake bird” is often applied. The word “Anhinga” is derived from a Tupi (Brazilian) Indian name, anhingá or anhangá, for the devil bird, an evil spirit of the woods (Jobling Jobling 1991).
