Red-necked Tanager

More color from Brazil

Viewed 26 Times

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.

Nature dreams up more outrageous color schemes than I could ever imagine.
