Taxonomy
Tanagers a very varied family in both looks and behaviors. They are small to medium sized birds that tend to be very brightly colored but do not have to be. The bills vary with each species and can be anywhere from broad and short to curved and thin. The size of flock that a bird travels in varies depending on the species; some are solitary while others travel in large flocks. Most tanagers live in woodland and tropical forests. Tanagers usually eat both fruits and insects but some will eat nectar and honey as well. There are three subspecies: Catamblyrhynchus diadema citrinifrons, Catamblyrhynchus diadema diadema, and Catamblyrhynchus diadema federalis. The subspecies citrinifrons is found in Peru and has a paler cap while the federalis is in coastal Venezuela and is brighter than diadema.
