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.

BOTD: Golden-collared Manakin
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."

They eat small fruit and insects, picking food from surfaces in flight, alone or in small flocks. Males perform complicated courtship displays in groups, known as leks. Females lay clutches of two eggs.
