Red-legged Honeycreeper

This superb image of a male Red-legged Honeycreeper was taken by photographer and bird guide Karlos Ross. Males are much more brightly coloured than the females which are olive-green though paler and streaked below. They are resident but quite rare in Cuba and found and found in the west and east of the island and also a couple of forested areas in between as well as on Cayo Coco. Elsewhere they are found from Mexico to southern Brazil. They feed on fruit and insects as well as nectar.
Karlos lives in Holguin and if you wish to use Karlos' services as a bird guide in eastern Cuba then you can best contact him by email [email protected] or through his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/karlos.ross.79
