Los Llanos is a vast tropical savanna in Colombia, home to over 700 bird species!! Some of which include the Plain-Brown Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa, top left) and the Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra, top right)!

The bottom photos are Swallow Tanagers (Tersina viridis) – a male on the left and female on the right! Swallow tanagers have broad, flat bills that are specialized to help them catch insects mid-flight and forage for fruits. This adaptability helps them thrive across the tropical forest habitats! 🌴🦜
