Owl of the Day: Spectacled Owl 📷 William Orellana

Photo of owl perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘Uncommon but unmistakable. Very large spectacular owl of humid evergreen forest in tropical lowlands and foothills. Often roosts at low to middle levels, usually well hidden in shady spots, and flushes easily. At night, favors open forest canopy and forest edge, but calling birds can be well hidden in foliage. Song is a resonant, pulsating series of deep hoots, sounding rather like a sheet of metal being flexed quickly; an uncommon variant call of the Mottled Owl sounds rather similar.’

Tanager of the Day: Turquoise Tanager 📷 Claudia Brasileiro

Photo of bird perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘Fairly widespread across northern Amazonia. Striking tanager found in the canopy in forest, edges, plantations, and gardens. Mostly seen in pairs or small single-species groups. Depending on the light can look quite dark, but has a mostly blue head and breast with black on the crown and around the bill, and blue flanks with black spots. Upperparts are mostly black with some blue highlights. Yellow belly. The call is a series of fast and high-pitched “psii” notes.’

Tanager of the Day: Beryl-spangled Tanager 📷 Andres Vasquez Noboa

Photo of bird perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Unmistakable: entire body boldly spotted with bright blue-green, sharply contrasting with black mask and back. No other tanager has such a spangled appearance. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,500–2,500 m, within forest and also at edges or in second growth.’
