Western Tanger

Not a prize winning shot but my first reasonable one of this species. I am going camping for 4 days in the area where I spotted this and several other Tanagers. Hopefully I'll get some better shots.

Very nice bird.

Maybe if you could darken the background he would stand out more?

Very colorful bird. Nice composition. It might be a tad bright but I bet some photochoppin' could fix that.

A goldfinch has a shorter beak...and this bird looks like it's larger too.

I'm so proud I actually knew this!!! Usually I need the heads up from someone else! :ivar

Thanks all.
Yep, It is mighty bright. It was mid day and this branch is sticking out of a lake so there was tons-O-glare. I'll get em this weekend though

I spotted my WT two days ago! They are so shy......hard to get a good pic, they seem to know just when you are ready to snap the pic!
