September 24, 2023 - Swallow-tailed Manakin or Blue Manakin (Chiroxiphia caudata) Found in parts of southeastern Brazil and Paraguay and northeastern Argentina, these manakins live in and around forests. They feed on small fruit and insects, picking food from surfaces in short flights or sometimes while perching. Males display in groups of three or occasionally more, jumping and hovering in turns in front of a female, though one dominant male is usually the only one of the group to breed with her. Their nests are built from dry plant fibers, root-like fungal structures, moss, and dry leaves in small trees or shrubs. Females lay clutches of two eggs.

Photo: Ad Konings
"A small, plump, and short-tailed manakin with a restricted range in Panama and western Colombia. Males are striking with a bright yellow throat and collar, a black cap, and a black back with greenish rump and belly. Females are entirely olive-green with red legs and dark bill and eye. Occurs in dense understory of forest, second growth, and edges. Males gather in groups to display for females; otherwise most likely to be found at a fruiting tree or sitting quietly in the lower levels of forest."

the blue-backed manakin is a small passerine bird found in deciduous forests of tropical south america. the species is named for the male’s distinctive plumage, with a bright blue back on a black body, with a red-accented head; females are primarily olive green. they are almost identical to the lance-tailed manakin, but lack that species’ distinct namesake tail feathers. this species primarily feeds on fruit and insects. they are known for their elaborate breeding performances, like other manakins; however, uniquely, dances to win affection from females are not performed competitively, but collaboratively. up to eight male manakins will dance together in a ‘lek’ (nest or burrow-like construction made solely to perform mating dances) to impress a female.
