An appreciated gift!
You know you are a blessed man when a Summer Tanager comes in on you unannounced and poses perfectly for you and your group in perfect light…until you get tired of taking his picture!
I have photographed them a few other times, but they were much higher up in the trees and always severely cropped in. In this case, we were standing atop a hill observing/photographing a painted turtle lay her eggs and the limb he chose was high in the trees, but just some 30 feet strait out from us.
