One family of birds that we are blessed with in the Western Hemisphere is the Tanager family. The members of this family are among the most colorful of all birds. This member of the family, a Red-necked Tanager, certainly fits that description. From the Atlantic Rainforest of SE Brazil, this bird dazzles. Shot at Sitio Espinheiro Negro Ecolodge, this image was taken with a Canon R5, a 600 mm f/4.0 lens off a tripod. SS 1/1600, ISO 500, f/5.6 and a EC of -1.0 (a very dark background and I wanted to avoid blowing out the bright colors of this bird, especially the red). Processed in PS with the bird brought up slightly.

Great shot of a beautiful bird! We have Tanagers here in the PNW.


Thank you for the nice words. I went to a discussion just this afternoon put on by the San Diego State University Ornithology Department. It was about a recently completed DNA testing of all the known tanagers. Turns out our North American Tanagers (Summer, Hepatic, Scarlet and Western) are not tanagers at all. They are cardinals. Sometime in the future they will likely be renamed to reflect their change status.
Apparently we do not have any tangers in North America.
