Piranga Ludoviciana Vocalizations - Pone
''Piranga'' is a genus of birds long placed in the tanager family, but now considered members of the cardinal (bird), cardinal family, Cardinalidae. The genus name ''Piranga'' is from Tupi language, Tupi word ''tijepiranga'', the name for an unknown small bird. Similar in shape and habits to the true tanagers, their coloration betrays their actual relationships. They are essentially red, orange, or yellow all over, except the tail and wings, and in some species also the back. Such extensive lipochrome coloration (except on the belly) is very rare in true tanagers, but is widespread among the Cardinalidae. These songbirds are found high in tree canopies, and are not very gregarious in their breeding areas. ''Piranga'' species pick insects from leaves, or sometimes in flight. They also take some fruit. Several species are bird migration, migratory, breeding in North America and wintering in the tropics. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Piranga'' was introduced by the French ...

Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot
Louis Pierre Vieillot (10 May 1748, Yvetot – 24 August 1830, Sotteville-lès-Rouen) was a French ornithologist. Vieillot is the author of the first scientific descriptions and Linnaean names of a number of birds, including species he collected himself in the West Indies and North America and South American species discovered but not formally named by Félix de Azara and his translator Sonnini de Manoncourt. He was among the first ornithologists to study changes in plumage and one of the first to study live birds. At least 77 of the genera erected by Vieillot are still in use. Biography Vieillot was born in Yvetot. He represented his family's business interests in Saint-Domingue (Haiti) on Hispaniola, but fled to the United States during the Haitian rebellions that followed the French Revolution. On Buffon's advice, he collected material for the ''Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de l'Amérique Septentrionale,'' the first two volumes of which were published in France beginning i ...

Piranga Hepatica
The hepatic tanager (''Piranga flava'') is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), it and other members of the genus Piranga are now classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family. Etymology and taxonomy The common name ''hepatic'' means "liver-coloured", namely, brownish-red. The specific name is Latin for yellow or golden. There are three subspecies groups, which may be separate species: * the ''hepatica'' group, breeding from Nicaragua north, in pine and pine-oak forests and partially migratory * the ''lutea'' group (sometimes known as the tooth-billed tanager), resident from Costa Rica to northern and western South America in highland forest edges * the ''flava'' group (sometimes known as the red tanager), resident in open woods elsewhere in South America Description Members of the northern group are larger and stockier than other ...

Red-hooded Tanager
The red-hooded tanager (''Piranga rubriceps''), is a medium-sized American songbird in the family Cardinalidae, the cardinals or cardinal grosbeaks. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The red-hooded tanager and the other species of genus ''Piranga'' were originally placed in the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Since approximately 2008 they have been placed in their current family. Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G.

Summer Tanager - Texas - USA H8O9934 (23250423155)
Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, occurring after spring and before autumn. At or centred on the summer solstice, the earliest sunrise and latest sunset occurs, daylight hours are longest and dark hours are shortest, with day length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition, and culture. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. Timing From an astronomical view, the equinoxes and solstices would be the middle of the respective seasons, but sometimes astronomical summer is defined as starting at the solstice, the time of maximal insolation, often identified with the 21st day of June or December. By solar reckoning, summer instead starts on May Day and the summer solstice is Midsummer. A variable seasonal lag means that the meteorological centre of the season, which is based on average temperature patterns, ...

Rose-throated Tanager
The rose-throated tanager (''Piranga roseogularis'') is a medium-sized songbird in the family Cardinalidae, the cardinals or cardinal grosbeaks. Endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula in Central America, it is found in Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico.Hilty, S. (2020). Rose-throated Tanager (''Piranga roseogularis''), version 1.0. In Birds of the World (J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott, J. Sargatal, D. A. Christie, and E. de Juana, Editors). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. https://doi.org/10.2173/bow.rottan1.01 retrieved May 15, 2021 The male has greyish plumage with a deep rose throat and crown, while the female is similar but for a yellow crown and throat. Taxonomy and systematics American ornithologist Samuel Cabot III described the rose-throated tanager in 1846, having seen a pair in the Yucatán Peninsula and shooting the male. A 2019 genetic study using mitochondrial DNA showed that it was a basal (early offshoot) of a lineage that gave rise to the scarlet, hepatic, summer, w ...

Scarlet Tanager
The scarlet tanager (''Piranga olivacea'') is a medium-sized American songbird. Until recently, it was placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), but it and other members of its genus are now classified as belonging to the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). The species' plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family, although the ''Piranga'' species lacks the thick conical bill (well suited to seed and insect eating) that many cardinals possess. The species resides in thick deciduous woodlands and suburbs. Etymology The genus name ''Piranga'' is from Tupi ''Tijepiranga'', the name for an unknown small bird, and the specific ''olivacea'' is from New Latin ''olivaceus'', "olive-green". Description The scarlet tanager, a mid-sized passerine, is marginally the smallest of the four species of ''Piranga'' that breed north of the Mexican border. It can weigh from , with an average of during breeding and an average of at the beginning of migration. Scarle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Western Tanager
The western tanager (''Piranga ludoviciana''), is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), other members of its genus and it are classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family. Taxonomy The western tanager was illustrated and formally described by American ornithologist Alexander Wilson in 1811 under the binomial name ''Tanagra ludoviciana'' from a specimen collected on the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803-1806). The type locality is Kamiah, Idaho. The specific epithet is from the Late Latin ''ludovicianus'' for "Louis". The name is from Louisiana, the 18th-century French administrative district of New France, rather than the modern state. The western tanager is now placed in the genus ''Piranga'' that was introduced by French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1808. The species is monotypic; no subspecies are recognized.
