The Blue-winged Mountain Tanager (Anisognathus somptuosus) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers. These bright, beautiful little birds are often seen at banana tables at lodges in their range.
They can be found in the higher elevations (mostly above 2500 meters) in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. I’ve seen them at Angel Paz, Sachatamia & Rio Blanco and they always brighten up my day!

Banana tables usually attract these little cuties in their range but some people have gotten lucky seeing them in the bush as well.
