Western Tanager

[Jaime Johnson]

Here in Montana we are incredibly fortunate, there is an abundance of wildlife to photograph. This time of year it is like clockwork, the western tanagers move for about a 10 day period. Tonight was rainy, but at any given time there were 80 to 100 tanagers in the yard. The yard was awash with color! Wonderful.

Here is one of over 700 we shot tonight in about an hour - there are a few others in our "Last Few Months" gallery on our web site.

Striking image, and a very attractively coloured bird. Photographed this way we still see the sum of his colours, nice.

Love it! Interesting pose, great colors and sharpness.
