Blue hour Summer Tanager -EXPLORED 25/10/2021-
La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Piranga rubra -male-
(Summer tanager / Piranga abejera)
The only completely red bird in North America, the strawberry-colored male Summer Tanager is an eye-catching sight against the green leaves of the forest canopy.
The mustard-yellow female is harder to spot, though both sexes have a very distinctive chuckling call note. Fairly common during the summer, these birds migrate as far as the middle of South America each winter.
