\"WesternWestern Tanager male in breeding plumage<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the only bird I could find in my files that had the same colors of the Flaming Hibiscus<\/a><\/span> I posted earlier this morning and since I didn’t want this to be a birdless<\/em> day on On The Wing Photography I worked this Western Tanager file up in a hurry.<\/p>\n

This Western Tanager was photographed last spring at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge<\/a><\/span> in the Centennial Valley of Beaverhead County, Montana.<\/p>\n

I sure wish I had been able to get closer to this flame-colored bird, the cows there allowed me to get much closer than this tanager did.<\/p>\n

Have a super day!<\/p>\n
