On our first afternoon in Iguaçu Falls National Park (September 28, 2011), Brad and I birded along the road leading from our hotel to the Devil's Throat area of Iguaçu Falls (Brazilian side). Swallow Tanagers were perched in the trees along the forest edge. The Swallow Tanager (Tersina viridis) is the sole member of the genus Tersina. This is a photo of a male that shows the tail shape, black face mask, and blue upper-body coloration. It was a sunny day with temperatures ranging from highs in the 90's to lows in the 70's.
