Term 4 Food Red-capped Manakins are frugivores. Fruits in the diet include melastomes, aroids, Rubiaceae, and Guatteria (Stiles and Skutch 1989). Red-capped Manakins eat fruit with high water content and low nutrient concentrations. This requires this species to either consume large amounts of fruit or only select the higher quality fruits with higher nutrient concentration. To support this diet, the Red-capped Manakin’s digestive system is adapted to processing large amounts of fruit. The stomach is very small and no fruit is held in the proventriculus, leading to rapid gut evacuation. This is how such a large volume of fruit is consumed each day and the maximum amount of nutrients is acquired. The Red-capped Manakin also does not have a structure for storing food (crop) like many other bird species (Worthington 1989). Besides fruit, the Red-capped Manakin has also been observed plucking insects from the foliage and eating them. They also have been reported to forage following army ants, which allow them to seize insects that are trying to get away (Skutch 1949). Behavior It perch alone and quiet, and make sudden flights to capture its food. It catch fruits in flight, or if possible directly from the perch. Insects are usually caught in flight. Occasionally in mixed-species flocks from follow ant groups and capture insects fleeing of these. Generally forage in the midstory of forest. Little information on metabolism. Mean body temperature in Panama 41.2º C (n = 24, range 37.8-43.8º C; Oniki 1972). Sexual Behavior As in other species of Pipra, male Red-capped Manakins display at leks (courtship assemblies); leks of Red-capped Manakins may include up to five males (Skutch 1949). Male Red-capped Manakins perform from a display perch that they choose for the entire breeding season. This is typically a straight, slender, and horizontal branch that is free of foliage and in an open area that is unobstructed by surrounding vegetation (Skutch 1949). There are four displays that are commonly made during courtship. The first one is the about-face, in which the male pivots back and forth and reveals the yellow "thighs". The backward slide is where the male moves backward along its display perch in a way that resembles a sliding or gliding movement. The male also displays by darting back and forth between his perch and the surrounding vegetation, snapping the wings each time he leaves the perch. The fourth display is a circling flight in which the male flies around several m away and then returns to his perch (Skutch 1949). Social and interspecific behavior Solitary, other than small groups of males at the lek.This information was from wekipedeia.

Save you, oh friendly wayward thing, So shy, and yet so bold, Are not the little ice-flints sharp? Are not the ridges cold?

But you who are so fair to man, Why do you swoop and leap? Why do you tear the little lambs, And score the trembling sheep?

Ah, call your flocks and keep the ice, For there you do not sin. Forget the farmyard and the fleece, Go not the field within.

There is no lark upon the snow, There is no thrush above. It is your kingdom; tarry there, If you would have our love.

Light is made up of colors of the rainbow and when you add them all together you get white. The sun appears a yellow color because it sends out more yellow light than any other color. Clouds reflect all the colors the exact same amount so they look white.

Why do clouds turn gray?

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look. Also, if there are lots of other clouds around, their shadow can add to the gray or multicolored gray appearance.
