#Bird of the Day: Rose-throated Becard (RTBE)
Among the 17 species of becards in the family Pachyramphus, the RTBE is the only 1 that occupies any US habitat—just barely-- the very southern tips of Texas & Arizona. Pachyramphus is from the Ancient Greek’s pakhus meaning "stout" or "thick" & rhamphos

The rather bizzarely named White-naped Xenopsaris was a passerine related to the becards that reminded me of a heavily billed Blackcap, and was a bird that we only saw at Ceibas in Central Argentina. Mostly skulky but it did show nicely on this one occasion #Birds #birding #argentina

From June 19, 2021: this old shrine is just a few miles south of Patagonia, Arizona, not far from where rare Rose-throated Becards sometimes nest. It’s certainly the most elaborate and intriguing roadside shrine I’ve seen in AZ.

Female Barred Becard with a caterpillar for breakfast. Becards are in their own family, Tityridae, and were previously grouped in other families such as tyrant flycatchers or cotingas. We are still learning about tropical birds.
