Jeff Wendorff's bird photography portfolio of
honeycreepers from the family, Thraupidae.
Honeycreeper Wiki The typical
honeycreeper is a small bird in the tanager family. They are found in the tropical New World from Mexico south to Brazil.
Honeycreepers occur in the forest canopy, and, as the name implies, they are specialist nectar feeders with long curved bills.
The four Cyanerpes species have colourful legs, long wings and a short tail. The males are typically glossy purple-blue and the females greenish.

Red-legged Honeycreeper, Cyanerpes cyaneus Collective Noun - HoneycreeperThere is no official collective noun and so I've proclaimed that a group of
honeycreepers should be called a hive. I think that is awesome!!
