Comments

A social species, often seen in pairs, but also banding into parties of 6 or 7, especially in the evening, when many birds congregate in high branches prior to roosting, in association with other species. It resembles Blue Tanager in general habits (ffreench R., A Guide to the Birds of Trinidad and Tobago)
