Western Tanager


Western Tanager

The Western Tanagers live near us, but they rarely come right into the trees in our yard. It is always a little thrill to have a sighting. This female perched in the madrone tree just above the birdbath, and I was able to photograph her underlit with the reflecting light from the water. Painting that effect challenged me a bit.
