The Ark in Space has an article about the Paradise Tanager (pictured above).  Could it be that a certain super hero used this Amazonian songbird as an inspiration for his costume (especially his mask?). Probably not, but it's a fun question to ask and there is no doubt that this is a simply stunning bird.
