Burnished-buff Tanager

Even the girls are colorful

Usually the males of a species (especially Tanagers) are much brighter, more colorful and in general, more beautiful, than the females. This is one species, Burnished-buff Tanager, where, even though she is not as brightly colored as the males, this female is a beautiful bird. This was taken in Brazil at Itororo Ecolodge where this species was not common but did occasionally show on the grounds. Shot with a Canon R5, 600 mm f/4.0 lens at SS 1/200, ISO 2000, f/4.0. Processed in PS with small branch behind bird cloned out.

I love the colors – both in the bird and the perch. Excellently framed – a GreatBirdPic!

Tremendous photo!

After the deed, a bath and air dry was in order
These weren’t the kind of longnecks I had in mind.
