Swede’s Photographs

Bright Yellow Bird in the Wild

Here is a photo of a female scarlet tanager (Piranga olivacea). Unfortunately, the chance that I have of seeing one of these around here is during migration. These birds are members of the family Cardinalidae and are closely related to cadinals, buntings, and grosbeaks.

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.

"Picture a female scarlet tanager perched on a tree branch. Her plumage is a soft, olive-yellow color, distinguishing her from the bright red males. The bird's delicate features are highlighted by the sunlight filtering through the green leaves around her. She's perched calmly, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings, creating a serene and captivating scene." - Copilot " Scarlet Tanagers are medium-sized songbirds with fairly stocky proportions. They have thick, rounded bills suitable both for catching insects and eating fruit. The head is fairly large and the tail is somewhat short and broad. In spring and summer, adult males are an unmistakable, brilliant red with black wings and tails. Females and fall immatures are olive-yellow with darker olive wings and tails. After breeding, adult males molt to female-like plumage, but with black wings and tail." - allaboutbirds.org
