What a beautiful bird, Thomas! Fantastic capture. #10880957Thomas E. Hinds October 25, 2013
Thanks, Tammy, Eivor, Julie, John, Terry, Phyllis, Colette, and Marijana! All of your great comments are appreciated. This tanager was captured during one of my trips through Bosque del Apache earlier this year. I remember the first one I spied as a new westerner a few decades ago. I was in awe of the bird back then -- and still am each time I see one now days. #10881056Ray October 25, 2013

I would so love to catch a glimpse of this beautiful bird. Once, a very long time ago, I saw a scarlet tanager and never forgot the thrill of the sighting. The western is just incredible with it's vibrant coloring. Super shot, Thomas! (Hope you and Bootsie both are faring well!) #10882932Phyllis A. Houghton November 29, 2013
