"If the moon smiled, she would resemble you.

You leave the same impression Of something beautiful,

but annihilating. "

Piranga rubra

(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.

Thanks so much for the visit!

This is a verdin perched on an ocotillo. Verdins are a small desert-dwelling bird, somewhat common in the desert southwest of the U.S. They are monogamous but don't necessarily hang out with their mate year-round. Respectful of each other's space, I guess.

Another first find for me - the Eastern Phobe doesn't hang around Iowa to much - except during breeding season. A beautiful little bird about 6" long on average with a plump look!

Happy Fence Friday!

Spotted this guy the other day sitting in the tree looking out over the lake. So majestic.

I thought this was a Swainson's Thrush but I'm not sure. Please help.

 

Thanks so much for the visit!

Another pair of the little birds that I managed to photograph from the Loch Visions hide on the Ardfern peninsular.
