La historia
I photographed this Yellow-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila nigricollis) at PANACA in Quimbaya, Quindío, Colombia on June 15, 2017. Its genus was moved into the tanager family, Thraupidae, beginning in 2012. It is a small seed-eater with a short, thick bill. PANACA, the National Agricultural and Livestock Park, lies about 7 kilometers west of the town of Quimbaya. The 47-hectare park has interactive exhibits and more than 200 species of animals. Quimbaya takes its name from the Quimbaya civilization, the pre-Columbian people who lived in the area.
I took this with a Canon EOS 70D and the EF400mm f/5.6L USM, at 1/500 sec, f/6.3, ISO 400. IUCN lists the Yellow-bellied Seedeater as Least Concern, and Quimbaya became part of the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 2011.
