Habia (bird)
Ant tanagers are birds of the genus ''Habia''. These are long-tailed and strong billed birds. Description The males have a red crest and plumage containing red, brown or sooty hues. Females may resemble the males or be largely yellowish or brown in colour. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), they are actually closer to ''Cardinalis'' in the Cardinalidae. Consequently, it can be argued that referring to the members of this genus as ant-tanagers is misleading, but no other common name has gained usage. All species forage for insects, which can be larger than their bills. Fruit is a minor part of their diet. red-throated, sooty and black-cheeked ant tanagers form a superspecies; they inhabit second growth and patchy woodland. They look down from a series of low (2–3 m) perches and take prey from foliage or in flight. They follow army ant swarms to catch insects that are fleeing from the ants. Red-crowned and crested ant tanagers prefer denser undergrowth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Red-throated Ant Tanager
The red-throated ant tanager (''Habia fuscicauda'') is a medium-sized passerine bird. This species is a resident breeder on the Caribbean slopes from southeastern Mexico to eastern Panama. It was usually considered an aberrant kind of tanager and placed in the Thraupidae, but is actually closer to the cardinals (Cardinalidae). Consequently, it can be argued that referring to the members of this genus as ant tanagers is misleading, but no other common name has gained usage. Red-throated ant tanagers are long and weigh . Adult males are dull dusky red, somewhat paler below, and with a bright red throat and central crown. The female is brownish olive, paler and greyer below, and with a yellow throat and small dull yellow crown stripe. Young birds are brown and lack the throat and crown patches. Both sexes of this species are duller and darker than the related red-crowned ant tanager which occurs on the Pacific slope in its Central American range. It occurs in thick undergrowth ...

Crested Ant Tanager
The crested ant tanager (''Habia cristata'') is a bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Taxonomy and systematics The crested ant tanager was originally placed in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. In the early 2000s, DNA analysis revealed that all the members of ''Habia'' were more closely related to the cardinals, so they were moved to family ''Cardinalidae''.Hilty, S. (2020).

Black-cheeked Ant Tanager
The black-cheeked ant tanager (''Habia atrimaxillaris'') is a species of bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is endemic to Costa Rica. Taxonomy and systematics The original description of the black-cheeked ant tanager assigned it the binomial ''Phoenicothraupis atrimaxillaris'' and placed it in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Genus ''Habia'' was later shown to have priority so the species was renamed to its current binomial. In the early 2000s, DNA analysis revealed that all the members of ''Habia'' were more closely related to the cardinals, so they were moved to family ''Cardinalidae''.Pott, C., D. J. Lebbin, E.

Sooty Ant Tanager
The sooty ant tanager (''Habia gutturalis'') is a species of bird in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae); formerly, it was placed with the true tanagers in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and secondary forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss. Taxonomy The bird was first formally described in 1854 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater. The binomial name derives from the Guaraní name ''habia'' for various finches and tanagers, and the Latin word ''gutturalis'' which means "of the throat". The sooty ant tanager is a monotypic species. Description 19-20 cm in length. The adult male is dark grey with a conspicuous scarlet crest (not always raised) and a rosy-red throat. The adult female is duller with a pinkish-white throat. Distribution and Habitat This bird is found in northwest Colombia, occurring in the Upper Sínu Valley at the northern end of the western Andes, and east ...

Sooty Ant-Tanager Male With Crest Raised
Sooty is a British children's television media franchise created by Harry Corbett incorporating primarily television and stage shows. The franchise originated with his fictional glove puppet character introduced to television in 1955, with the franchises focused around the adventures of the character – a mute yellow bear with black ears and nose, who is kind-hearted but also cheeky, performs magic tricks and practical jokes, and squirts his handler and other people with his water pistol, including on other television programmes he guest stars on. The franchise itself also includes several other puppet characters who were created for television, some of whom became the backbone to performances, and features additional elements including an animated series, two spin-off series for the direct-to-video market, and a selection of toy merchandising. The franchise remained in the ownership of Corbett until his retirement in 1976, before being passed on to his son Matthew. The rights ...

Ant Tanager (40806177612)
Ants are Eusociality, eusocial insects of the Family (biology), family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the Taxonomy (biology), order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from Vespoidea, vespoid wasp ancestors in the Cretaceous period. More than 13,800 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their geniculate (elbowed) Antenna (biology), antennae and the distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists. Ants form Ant colony, colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies that may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. Larger colonies consist of various castes of sterile, wingless females, most of which are workers (ergates), as well as soldiers (dinergates) and other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called "drones" and one or more fertile females ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Red-crowned Ant Tanager
The red-crowned ant tanager (''Habia rubica'') is a medium-sized passerine bird from tropical America. The genus '' Habia'' was long placed with the tanagers (Thraupidae), but it is actually closer to the cardinals ( Cardinalidae). Consequently, it can be argued that referring to the members of this genus as ''ant-tanagers'' is misleading, but no other common name has gained usage. Red-crowned ant tanagers are long and weigh (male) or (female). Adult males are dull reddish brown with a brighter red throat and breast. The black-bordered scarlet crown stripe is raised when the bird is excited. The female is yellowish brown with a yellow throat and yellow-buff crown stripe. The Red-crowned ant tanager is a shy but noisy bird. Its call is a rattle followed by a musical ''pee-pee-pee''. This bird is a resident breeder from Mexico south to Paraguay and northern Argentina, and on Trinidad. Common in its wide range, it is not considered threatened by the IUCN. It preferentially occ ...
