Hemispingus

Hemispingus is a genus of birds
That belong to the tanager family
They live in the Andes, where they sing and chirp
And feed on insects and berries

Some have bright colors on their heads or chests
Some have stripes or spots on their wings
Some have names that are hard to pronounce
Like Hemispingus xanthophthalmus or Hemispingus pyrrhocoma

They are not very famous or well-known
But they have their own charm and grace
They are the hemispingus, the half-tanagers
And they deserve their own place

The Hemispingus is a genus of birds in the family Thraupidae, also known as tanagers.

There are 11 species of Hemispingus, each with different names and characteristics.

However, they all share a common habitat: the subtropical and tropical moist montane forests in the Andes mountains of South America.

These forests are rich in biodiversity and provide food and shelter for the Hemispingus and other animals.

• The Superciliaried Hemispingus is olive above and yellow below with a gray crown and a white eyebrow.

• It forages in the canopy of forest or edge, often following mixed-species flocks.

• The Black-headed Hemispingus is gray above and whitish below with a black head and a white eyebrow.

• It lives in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

• The Drab Hemispingus is dull olive with a less obvious eyebrow.

• It inhabits humid montane forests and elfin woodland.
