The blue-grey tangare is one of Costa Rica's most charming songbirds. With its soft grey plumage and bright blue wings and tail, it brings a touch of tropical colour to everyday life in both the jungle and villages. This medium-sized songbird often lives in pairs or small groups and can be found in gardens, open forest edges and even near people. Its cheerful presence and soft song make it loved by nature lovers and photographers alike.
The blue-grey tangare feeds mainly on fruit, berries and insects, playing an important role in seed dispersal and biodiversity conservation. Its calm and social behaviour makes it a bird that is often easy to observe - an ideal model for nature photography.
This photo collection captures the beauty and vibrancy of the blue-grey tangare: from intimate portraits in which its subtle blue tones stand out beautifully to dynamic images of birds in motion or feeding in tropical trees. An ode to a bird that embodies the essence of tropical nature - colourful, harmonious and ever-present.
