On our way from Guango, up in the mountains, we stopped to photograph another species when this Scarlet-bellied mountain tanager (also called 'Fire-bellied mountain tanager') landed in a tree nearby. It looked surprised, flapped with its wings, and then flew on - a quick encounter... This tanager is a characteristic fruit eater. In a study of the stomach content of 44 birds, only three contained anything but fruit - the complementary foods consited of nectar, petals and insects.
