White-rumped Tanager occurs only at one single location in the country - Laguna Blanca, making it a species of national conservation concern. Here they rove around in small family groups, led by a dominant pair - the parents of the other group members. The dominant pair combine to produce a remarkable duet in the early morning, standing with head raised and wings and tails vibrated rapidly. More
