Hey there! Oh this is so sweet. I know they have a beautiful song as well. That is one of the many things I miss from living in Louisiana...the many wonderful birds. This is an outstanding photo! He looks so pretty sitting all snug like that. Thank you so much for a lovely bird. Verena
Very nice capture. I saw one far up in a tree one time and thought it was a Cardinal, but a birder with a scope showed me it wasn't. Pretty looking bird.
As a kid this was one of my favorite birds:):) Lovely picture of this fine feathered friend Elizabeth!! I see a tiny thread of something in his beak, I guess he's off to build his nest!!
I believe I've never seen a Tanager before. A fascinating bird & I'm enjoying it's orange-red color. Great lighting on the foliage too. Beautiful capture Elizabeth.
Ditto Paul's comment, but the softness would also create a very peaceful wallpaper. The angle with which you captured him, under the leaves and away from the strong light, intimates privacy for both the bird and us viewing him, as though he were sharing a secret place with us. Good shot, Elizabeth.
