This is a Western Tanager and this picture shows it is hard to compare bird pictures from different areas and different times of the year. This picture was taken in Oregon during May. This bird is a male in its finest breeding plumage.
Beautiful shot. Love the breeding plumage.
Great shot of the Tanager! It probably would have won the WWT Smackdown!
