WC #404 Summer Tanager

The Summer Tanager visited several times this summer into early September. I tried several times to capture the young lady in a natural setting, I was only able to capture a few good photos of her on the wires as she watched the other birds at my feeders. What a challenge it was! I always look forward to all C & C's.

Carlette,

I like the Tanager's pose, her colors and her form in contrast to the hard edges of the wire.

I like the bg/fg color play here, real nice! The highlites seem a tad strong/bright.
