One of the most beautiful of the Atlantic Forest<br />

tanagers, the Red-necked Tanager lives in forest and<br />

brushland, though it will visit neighboring gar<strong>de</strong>ns,<br />

aban<strong>do</strong>ned plantations and orchards. The female is<br />

not as vividly colored as the male.<br />

In pairs or small groups, this bird can be seen<br />

foraging among tree boughs, looking for fruit, insects<br />

and spi<strong>de</strong>rs. It is an active forager, mostly among the<br />

higher branches, which it will examine closely while<br />

hanging upsi<strong>de</strong> <strong>do</strong>wn. It is often seen <strong>de</strong>scending to<br />

the bushes in search of fruit.<br />

Little is known about its reproduction, other than<br />

that the female lays three eggs, which she incubates<br />

alone for 12 or 13 days. Both parents feed the chicks<br />

with insects and fruit.<br />

Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />

Paranapiacaba mountain ranges • common; often<br />

seen in mixed flocks near buildings and other installations<br />

in protected areas.<br />
