I can see why you look forward to them passing through. Really an excellent shot, The bird really jumps off of that BG.

Thanks Dan. I had another shot of him in some Sage Brush that really popped but I preferred the head angle in this one.

nice shot Bill
what a paint job on that guy, it's amazing how many tanagers there are, we saw a lot of different ones in Costa Rica.

Thanks Randy. They're one of the more colorful ones that pass through.

Nicely done - beautiful bird.

Thanks Allan. They do this cocked head thing when they're perched. Fun to watch.

Very nice photo Bill. We’re starting to see a few around our Feeders recently and by the time I go into the house to grab the Camera they’re gone.
