September 19, 2021 - Red-Capped Cardinal (Paroaria gularis)
These tanagers are found in the lowlands of northern South America, usually around lakes and rivers. They eat mostly seeds, along with some fruit and insects, foraging in pairs or flocks low in vegetation. Breeding between June and September, pairs build shallow cup-shaped nests from twigs, roots, ferns, and other plant materials. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs.
A small South American bird is the red-capped Cardinal (Paroaria gularis). It belongs to Paroaria, a genus in the Thraupidae family of tanagers. Insects, rice and fruit feed on the red-capped cardinal. In conspicuous pairs or family units, it is normally found. It stretches for most of the year if there is a well-marked breeding season.
