An electric blue bird sits on a mossy log. It has black tips on its wings and a black circle on its head that is filled in with gold feathers.

Alan says the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #blue. I was awed by the color of this #GoldenNapedTanager in #Mindo #Ecuador. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Golden-naped Tanager
Mashpi Reserve, Ecuador

Rain has a way of softening everything - except the color.

Today's bird is the golden-naped tanager. What a beautiful bird in a place that offered SO MANY beautiful birds. I saw this beauty on a trip to the Mindo Cloud Forest. It was dazzling. #birds #travel #ecuador #mindo #goldennapedtanager #tanager
