Length: 8 in. (20 cm )

Nesting in mountainous pine and oak woodlands, the Hepatic Tanager stays high in the tree crowns. Here it gleans and flies out to catch insects from the vegetation but in the later summer includes more fruits in its diet. The nest is made of loose grass and moss and placed high on a horizontal branch.

The four-digit banding code is HETA.
