Orange-Collared Manakin

Caption

An orange-collared manakin, a fruit-eating bird that lives in wooded "shade" coffee plantations in Costa Rica. It is an example of a bird that does better living in such "agroforests" than on open farms. A new University of Utah study indicates that while tropical forests are best, agroforests are better than open farms for many birds.
